  • Legitimizing German Imperialist Penetration of the Ottoman Empire1
    Visions of Germany in Turkey: Legitimizing German Imperialist Penetration of the Ottoman Empire1 Malte Fuhrmann, Free University Berlin Weighty memories merge with the impressions of the present; to the mind, what was is wed to what is (...) And it is German traces that have engraved themselves deeply upon the classical soil (...)– Paul Lindenberg 19022 On the day we hear the classic call, “Hot sausages, have a glass of beer!” at the train station of Angora, Germany will have its foot in the door in Asia Minor.–Friedrich Dernburg 18923 Hegemonic power, or even the attempt to establish it, is accompanied by a multitude of legitimizing discourses that are shaped both in conscious and subconscious debate with it. These discourses have been subject to considerable attention in the research on nationalism and imperialism since the seventies, in contrast to ‘political’ and macroeconomic interests, which had until then enjoyed the main attention of historians. In the research on German imperialism however, the analysis of legitimizing discourses has so far played a minor part. This is due on the one hand to the special circumstances under which German imperialist expansion took place and to a certain reserve towards discourse analysis among the German academic establishment. 4 In particular, the attempt to establish hegemony over West Asia by employing a policy of ‘pénétration pacifique’ towards the Ottoman Empire, one of the major imperialist projects of the Kaiserreich, has been neglected by historians in this regard. The ‘political’ strategies of the German Empire towards the ‘Eastern Question’ have been and still are a subject of interest, and the economic strategies, especially of renowned German companies such as Krupp, Philip Holzmann, and the Deutsche Bank, were a major focus in the seventies and eighties.

  • Unveiling Baubo: the Making of an Ancient Myth for the Degree Field Of
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Unveiling Baubo: The Making of an Ancient Myth A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Comparative Literary Studies By Frederika Tevebring EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright by Frederika Tevebring 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract “Unveiling Baubo” describes how the mythical figure Baubo was constructed in nineteenth-century German. Associated with the act of exposing herself to the goddess Demeter, Baubo came to epitomize questions about concealment and unveiling in the budding fields of archaeology, philology, psychoanalysis and literary theory. As I show in my dissertation, Baubo did not exist as a coherent mythical figure in antiquity. Rather, the nineteenth-century notion of Baubo was mediated through a disparate array of ancient and contemporary sources centered on the notion of sexual vulgarity. Baubo emerged as a modern amalgam of ancient parts, a myth of a myth invested with the question of what modernity can and should know about ancient Greece. The dissertation centers on the 1989 excavation of the so-called Baubo statuettes, a group of Hellenistic votive figurines discovered at Priene, in modern-day Turkey. The group adheres to a consistent and unique iconography: the face of the female figures is placed directly onto their torso, giving the impression that the vulva and chin merge. Based on the statuettes’ “grotesque- obscene” appearance, archaeologist concluded that they depicted Baubo, the woman who greeted Demeter at Eleusis when the goddess was searching for her abducted daughter Persephone. According to late antique Church Fathers, Demeter refused the locals’ offerings of food and drink until Baubo cheered her up by lifting her skirt, exposing herself to the goddess.

Bunun sonucu pek çok seyyah Anadolu’ya ve Batı Anadolu’da bulunan Assos (Behramkale), Troia (İllium, Willusa), Pergamon (Bergama), Ephesos (Efes), Tralleis (Üçgözler), Smyrna (İzmir), Hierapolis (Pamukkale), Sardeis (Sart, Sardis), Priene (Güllübahçe), Miletos (Miletus, Mile), Alexandria Troas (Eski İstanbulluk), Ksanthos (Eşençay) antik kentlerine gelmiştir. Batı Anadolu bölgesi, dünya tarihinde çok önemli antik kentleri içine almaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra kentler Yunan-Roma eserlerine ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bir başka önemli faktörde Osmanlı Devleti’nin gerileme döneminde Batı Anadolu bölgesindeki kazıları yabancı kazı ekipleri gerçekleştirmiştir. Kazılarda çıkan eserlerin büyük bir kısmı yurtdışındaki müzelere taşınmıştır ve halen bu müzelerde sergilenmektedirler. İlk arkeolojik kazılar 1873’de Fransız arkeolog Olivier Rayet tarafından yapılmıştır. Onu, Alman Arkeolog Theodor Wiegand' ın 1899 – 1931 arasında yaptığı kazılar takip etmiştir. Fakat kazılar devamlı yapılmamış; zaman zaman savaşlar ve diğer nedenlerle aksamıştır. Günümüzde, Miletos’ta kazılar Almanya Bochum'daki Ruhr Üniversitesi tarafından organize edilmektedir. Yirminci yüzyıl başlarında, yapılan Alman arkeolojik araştırma ve kazıları sonunda hemen hemen tümüyle Güney Agorası için anıt şekilde olan Miletos Agora Kapısı taş taş parçalara ayrılmış; taşlar Almanya'ya taşınmış ve yapı yeniden birleştirilmiştir. Ortaya çıkan bu antik eser Berlin Pergamon Müzesi'nde sergilenmektedir. Koleksiyondaki bazı eserler, Miletos Müzesi’nde, İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzesi ve Louvre Müzesi’nde sergilenmektedir.

This is not to say that I am suddenly a believer in the inherent agency of things, rather that the book before you is special to me because it represents a crucial phase of my life. Many people have contrib- uted to making these years exciting and challenging. After all – as I continu- ously emphasize over the next 350 pages – archaeological knowledge pro- duction is a collective affair. My first heartfelt thanks go to my supervisor Anders Andrén whose profound knowledge of cultural history and excellent creative ability to connect the dots has guided me through this process. Thank you, Anders, for letting me explore and for showing me the path when I got lost. My next thanks go to my second supervisor Arto Penttinen who encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D. and who has graciously shared his knowledge and experiences from the winding roads of classical archaeology. Thank you, Arto, for believing in me and for critically reviewing my work.

    1 Powerpoint-Vortrag Mai 2008 von Barbara Friedhofen Der Archäologe Theodor Wiegand – ein Bendorfer Jung´ Hinweis auf Ausstellung 1. Eltern Fotos von den Eltern: Konrad Wiegand, Arzt und Ida Wiegand, geb. Neitzert Theodor Wiegand wurde am Sonntag, dem 30.10.1864 in Bendorf geboren. Er ist der älteste Sohn von Ida Wiegand, geborene Neitzert und des Arztes Konrad Wiegand. Konrad Wiegand hatte in Marburg und Berlin studiert, bevor er nach Abschluss seiner Promotion 1861 als Assistenzarzt in den Heil- und Pflegeanstalten arbeitete. 1863 ließ er sich als praktischer Arzt zuerst in Wiesbaden und dann als Badearzt in Bendorf nieder. Im Oktober 1863 heiratete er Ida Neitzert, Tochter des Fabrikanten Theodor Neitzert. Theodor Neitzert hatte zuerst eine Kalk- und Ziegelbrennerei aufgebaut und stellt ab 1861 feuerfeste Steine (Schamottsteine) her. Aus dieser Fabrik gingen später die späteren Rheinischen Schamott- und Dinaswerke hervor. Dr. Konrad Wiegand war in den Jahren 1869-1874 für die Jacoby´sche Anstalt tätig. 2. Jugend in Bendorf und Wiesbaden Fotos: Wiegand als Kleinkind und als Schüler in Wiesbaden Seinen ersten 10 Lebensjahre wohnte Theodor Wiegand mit seinen Eltern im großväterlichen Haus in Bendorf bis die Familie nach Wiesbaden zog. Theodor Wiegand ging in die evangelische Privatschule in Bendorf. Wiegand ließ sich magisch von der Fabrik des Großvaters anziehen und verbrachte dort viele Stunden. Dabei schwänzte er auch hin und wieder die Schule. Weil er sich mit den Arbeitern so gut verstand, blieben seine Fehltage in der Schule wochenlang geheim, denn keiner der Arbeiter verriet ihn. Die unregelmäßigen Schulbesuche wurden zusätzlich durch viele Kinderkrankheiten unterbrochen. Zitat von Wiegand über seine Heimat aus „Watzinger S.
