The major item in it is his book, One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, which elaborated the organisational principles of the Bolshevik Party. Many of the works in the present volume—the “Account of the Second Congress of the R.S.D.L.P.”, the article “One Step Forward, Two Steps Back. Reply by N. Lenin to Rosa Luxemburg”, the speeches at the Congress of the League of Russian Revolutionary Social-Democracy Abroad and the sessions of the Party Council, and the resolutions moved there, the draft appeal “To the Party”, and the pamphlet “The Zemstvo Campaign and Iskra’s Plan”—are directed against the Mensheviks’ opportunism in organisational and tactical questions

  • Screening Late Ottoman Memory in Payitaht Abdülhamid Hannah
    Screening Late Ottoman Memory in Payitaht Abdülhamid Hannah Grossblatt A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2019 Committee: Deborah Porter Reşat Kasaba Selim Kuru Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2019 Hannah Grossblatt University of Washington Abstract Screening Late Ottoman Memory in Payitaht Abdülhamid Hannah Grossblatt Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Deborah Porter Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies In viewing historical rehabilitations as objects that have the capacity to transform people, this thesis seeks to explain the popular consumption of one such rehabilitation as a function of its resonance with an existential memory of social transformation. This thesis’ deep reading of the Turkish television series Payitaht Abdülhamid , a show about the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1876-1909, yields a new vantage point from which to view a cultural product’s inherent historicity – in spite of its historical inaccuracies and revisionist position. This paper demonstrates how, through an analysis of the cinematographic language of Payitaht Abdülhamid , we may access a subtextual articulation of an existential memory that explains its wide resonation today.

I must thank the authors—this "strange collection of brains," as Adachi Masao surrealistically puts it—for their gracious patience as the process dragged on and on. Thanks to their efforts, particularly their revisions based on strong feedback from several anonymous reviewers, the resulting book is a wonderfully thought-provoking and heterogeneous take on the Pink Film. I would also like to thank Linda Williams, Phil Hallman, Peter Alilunas, Aaron Gerow and the Kinema Club editorial collective for their support. I feel particularly indebted to Michael Arnold, who is writing a dissertation on this topic. Suspicious of received wisdom, his refreshingly novel perspective on the Pink Film has taught me much.
