Istanbul, Not Constantinople: a Global City in Context
Istanbul, Not Constantinople: A Global City in Context ASH 3931 Section 8ES5 / EUH 3931 Section 8ES5 / EUS 3930 Section 19ES Monday, Wednesday, Friday periods 5 Virtual office hours T R 1-3pm University of Florida Fall 2020 Course Description This is a course about why Istanbul is a global city and how it remains to be one. This particular city makes a central node in all the five utilities of global flow – defined by theorist Arjun Appadurai as ethnoscapes, technoscapes, financescapes, mediascapes, and ideoscapes. In this course, we take a multidisciplinary, transhistorical look at the city in three parts: 1) Pre-modern political, religious, commercial, and military exchanges that reflected and shaped the city landscape, 2) Modern cultural norms, natural disasters, and republican formations that caused the city to shrink on a logical and dramatic scale, and, 3) Artists, athletes, politicians, and soldiers that claimed the space in the city. Overlapping and standing alone at times, the topics to be explored likewise relate to various topics, including authority, civic nationalism, gender, migration, poverty, public health, and religion all in traditional and national, global and local ways. Beside others, students interested in European Studies, International Studies, Religious Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies are welcome and encouraged to join this survey course. Sophomore standing or the instructor’s approval is a prerequisite. Course Objectives By the end of the course, you should be able to: - Recognize and analyze the significance of Istanbul in discussions about geography, history, culture, politics, and sociology, - Present an informed understanding of global cities in comparative context, - Discuss specific developments that correlate Istanbul to political, social, economic, and other developments in the larger world, and, - Reconsider the nuanced dynamics that created and transformed Istanbul across time.

Istanbul Athens Migration Course

About the course The collapse of the eastern Block at the beginning of the 1990s and the larger socioeconomic transformations in Africa and Asia resulted in massive migration flows to Turkey, Greece and Europe in general. The Eastern Mediterranean with its geographical position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa and in particular the large Aegean basin with its islets and islands serving as stepping stones for migratory movement, became a major “entry gate” to Europe. Within a few decades the social life in the wider region transformed with a large proportion of the population being immigrants who are living in the countryside or in various neighbourhoods of the capital cities of Istanbul and Athens. Here migrants are trying to survive and make plans for the future despite the stigmatization and marginalization they encounter. Therefore a major part of our seminar will focus on how immigrants experience such new conditions and how they adapt in the new cultural contexts.

The Golden Horn: Heritage Industry Vs
Uludağ Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Dergisi, Cilt 19, Sayı 2, 2014 ARAŞTIRMA THE GOLDEN HORN: HERITAGE INDUSTRY VS. INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE Zeynep GÜNAY * Abstract: The revitalization of former industrial areas has been one of the crucial tasks of urban policy agenda throughout the world since the mid 1970s; whereas heritage industry has become the new orthodoxy in the shift from production to consumption as means for the restructuring and reimaging of post-industrial economies in the global order. The increasing tendency to link heritage and conservation with economic development has brought new meanings to cultural assets, the value of which has started to be related solely to the economic value it sustains or generates. The commodification and instrumentalization of industrial heritage by the heritage industry, in particular, has turned out to be the determining factor for creating opportunity spaces in the post-industrial areas. At the same time, many academics are critical on the attempts to reform post-industrial spaces of consumption with privatized spaces and commodified cultures. Within this context, the paper attempts to evaluate the role and the impact of heritage industry in the revitalisation of the post-industrial spaces of Istanbul, with a case study on the Golden Horn. The results of the paper are related to the following questions: What role the industrial heritage play in the revitalisation of historic environments? What are the ways to turn such industrial heritage into sources of social and economic development? What are the likely impacts on the local economy and local community? The conclusion gives an overview of the extent of the impacts that industrial heritage has on the Golden Horn, and in turn relates this back to the wider idea of heritage industry being promoted for the urban policy- making in Istanbul.

Responding to Terrorist Attacks Trends in European Response Scenarios INFORMATION CUTOFF DATE: October 6, 2008
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Special Analysis Responding to Terrorist Attacks Trends in European Response Scenarios INFORMATION CUTOFF DATE: October 6, 2008 NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau Terrorism Threat Analysis Group EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper analyzes three high-profile European case studies of post-9/11 terrorist attacks (Istanbul [2003], Madrid [2004], and London [2005]). It also examines targeting and tactical information gleaned from several failed/foiled plots in Europe. Although the general findings of this paper can be applied to any type of large scale terrorist attack, this study focuses on those attacks perpetrated by Muslim extremists since this subset currently constitutes the most prominent terrorist threat to the U.S. The objectives of this paper are to: • Concisely present the major challenges that European emergency responders faced following significant acts of terrorism in the post-9/11 era; • Assess how those challenges hindered response and rescue operations; • Identify ways in which emergency responders reacted to these challenges, both expected and unforeseen; • Utilize case studies of several foiled/failed plots in Europe to assess burgeoning operational risks to emergency responders; • Highlight implications of these trends for domestic security, particularly New York City This paper seeks to analyze trends in the responses to major terrorist attacks in the post- 9/11 era in cities similar to New York City. The cities analyzed in this report are comparable in numerous ways, but the most important similarity is that

Yulia Tikhonova
“Sublime Porte: Art and Contemporary Turkey” - Yulia Tikhonova Sublime Porte: Art and Contemporary Turkey Sublime Porte: Art and Contemporary Turkey brings together work by thirteen artists for whom Turkey, and Turkish culture, is a primary focus of their art-making. Turkey has been a center of media attention for the past several years, and its booming economy has propelled its contemporary art scene. Turkish modernization has taken place at a very fast pace, exposing the impact of industrialization, democratization, and secularization. The artists in this exhibit respond to these issues from a critical perspective – those who live far from the homeland do not trust its covert politics; those who live in the country view them with cynicism. The majority of artists in this exhibition belong to the Turkish American diaspora. They received their MFA’s from the best art programs in the U.S. These programs introduced them to Western Art History and inspired their investigation into the ethics of Turkish society and its governing elite. The multimedia education they received in the U.S., as opposed to their more Academic training in Turkey, has equipped these artists to embrace technology, software and interactivity in their art practices. Burak Arikan, and Orkan Talhan are alumni of MIT, and Osman Akan is a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts. They utilize their technical skills to construct objects using industrial materials that reflect the recent Turkish construction boom (Akan), or to create software for children’s education (Talhan). They target issues of urban planning, mass media, and neoliberalism (Arikan), – problems that have long concerned intellectuals in the West.
