Bölgenin yerleşim dokusu, tarih içerisinde önemli değişimler geçirmiş, yıllar boyunca ortaya çıkan kültürel katmanlar değişerek günümüzdeki yoğun yerleşim özelliğine kavuşmuştur. Geçmişten beri oluşan bu değişim ve tarihi birikim, günümüzde fiziksel açıdan tam olarak görünebilir durumda değildir. Ancak kültürel olarak bölgenin özelliğini yansıtan ve alanın geçmişi ile ilgili bilgiler veren kayıtlar olmaları açısından sokak adları birer belge olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu kapsamda, Beşiktaş İlçesi’ndeki 23 mahallede toplam 1060 adet sokak adı (yolakadı) incelenmiştir. Sokak adlarında, peyzajın doğal ve kültürel bileşenlerini oluşturan etmenlerle ilgili adlandırmalar peyzaj terimi olarak tanımlanmış ve elde edilen terimler; arazi örtüsü, bitki, doğa olayları, donatı, kültürel öğeler, mevsim, su ve topoğrafya gibi sınıflamalar altında derlenmiştir.

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kalpaklı January 2018 In the early 17th-century Ottoman Empire, a series of sociocultural, administrative, political, and economic changes were underway that left their mark on how the learned and cultural elite viewed the empire and themselves. Though contemporary sources reflect these shifts in many ways , this period’s rich corpus of invective verse , centering around the poet Nefʿī , has been understudied as a historical source. This dissertation rectifies this neglect by examining this invective corpus as a locus of rivalries and enmities revealing how those involved agonistically defined and were defined by their others, thus necessarily defining themselves in the process. Observing this process of definition and self-definition in the light of contemporary historical developments and sources, the dissertation examines invectives produced against both patrons ( i.e., vertical invective) and fellow poet/clients ( i.e., horizontal invective) in such a way as to demonstrate how the ferocity of the period’s invective verse, and reactions thereto, laid bare how Ottoman elites’ imaginary of themselves was in fact a marginalizing construct.

We started the day with an assembly organised by Years Reception, One and Two. They told the whole school about autumn traditions around the world, for example Thanksgiving and Halloween. In the spirit of thanksgiving, we collected dry foods, milk, fruit juice, cheese and toiletries. The Year 6 chil- dren from the Etiler Campus delivered our donations to the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Little Sisters distribute the goods to the needy in Istanbul. On the same day, it was Breast Cancer Awareness Day. We had a Bake Sale to raise money for this important cause. The Pre, Primary and Secondary school parents baked cakes and the Secondary school students sold the cakes to the Pre and Primary students at morning play. Thank you to Years Reception, One and Two for organising a super assembly, Efe (Head of the Secondary School Student Council) for arranging the Bake Sale, and all the parents who supported the school in our two charitable causes on the same day!
