Dr. Bülent KATKAK Türkiye Turing ve Otomobil Kurumu Y ö n e t i m K u r u l u B a ş k a n ı 7 8 Mimar Sinan 9 ürk mimarlık tarihinin en büyük ismi şüphesiz Mimar Sinan’dır. Sinan sade- Tce Osmanlı mimarisinin değil dünyanın da en büyük mimarlarından birisi- dir. Kimliği, doğup büyüdüğü zamanın ve coğrafi sınırların çok ötesine geçen bu büyük mimarın eserleri de mensubu olduğu imparatorluğun büyüklüğüne yaraşır bir sahayı kaplamakta, birçok ülkeyi içine alan geniş bir coğrafyada Os- manlı izlerini yaşatmaya devam etmektedir. Doğumu, kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte 1491’in öncesi olarak tarihlenmek- tedir. Hıristiyan bir ailenin çocuğu olarak Kayseri Ağırnas’da dünyaya gelmiş- tir. Ancak, “Osmanlı kültürüyle yıkanmış bir Müslüman tasarımcı olarak bütüne katılabilmesi için yeterince kabiliyetli olduğu fark edilmiş, böyle bir çocuğun köyünde kaderine terkedilmesi yerine onu Osmanlı seçkinlerine dahil etmek üzere gerekli işlem başlatılmıştı.” Neticede etnik mensubiyeti tartışılan Sinan’ın, güçlü bir Osmanlı kimliğine sahip olduğu muhakkaktır. Bu dehanın gelişiminde söz konusu sistemin ve erken denilebilecek bir yaşta İstanbul ile tanışmasının rolü büyüktür. Topkapı Sarayı’na ve Ayasofya’ya yakın, Roma dönemi mimarisinin merkez noktalarından birisi olan Hipodrom/Sulta- nahmet Meydanı civarında bir okulda yetiştiği kabul edilen Sinan, otobiyogra- fisi olarak kabul edilen Tezküretü’l-bünyan’da, Yavuz Sultan Selim’in hizmetinde Arap ve Acem diyarlarını gezip dolaştığını ve yine İstanbul’a döndüğünü belirt- mektedir.

  • The Empress Nurbanu and Ottoman Politics in the Sixteenth Century
    The Empress Nurbanu and Ottoman Politics in the Sixteenth Century Nurbanu (1525–1583) is one of the most prominent yet least studied royal women of the Ottoman dynasty. Her political and administrative career began when she was chosen as the favorite concubine of the crown prince Selim. Nur- banu’s authority increased when her son Murad was singled out as crown prince. By 1574, when her son, Murad III became Sultan, Nurbanu officially took on the title of Valide Sultan, or Queen Mother, holding the highest office of the impe- rial harem until her death in 1583. This book concentrates on the Atik Valide mosque complex, which consti- tutes the architectural embodiment of Nurbanu’s prestige, power and piety. The arrangement of the chapters is designed to enable readers to reconsider Ottoman imperial patronage practices of the late sixteenth century using the architectural enterprise of a remarkable woman as the common thread. Chapter 1 provides a general history of the wqaf institution to inform on its origins and evolution. Chapter 2 looks closely at the political dealings of Nurbanu, both in the domestic and the international sphere, building upon research concerning Ottoman royal women and power dynamics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Chapter 3 presents a textual analysis of the written records pertaining to Nurbanu’s impe- rial mosque complex. Chapter 4 examines the distinctive physical qualities and functional features of the Atik Valide within its urban context. The book con- cludes by assessing to what extent Nurbanu was involved in the representation of her power and piety through the undertaking of her eponymous monument.

  • Running Head: Correspondence of Ottoman Women
    Correspondence of Ottoman Women 1 Running head: Correspondence of Ottoman Women The Correspondence of Ottoman Women during the Early Modern Period (16th-18th centuries): Overview on the Current State of Research, Problems, and Perspectives Marina Lushchenko Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Correspondence of Ottoman Women 2 Abstract My main goal is to investigate problems and possible perspectives related to studies in Ottoman women’s epistolarity (16th-18th centuries). The paper starts with a review of the current state of research in this area. I then go on to discuss some of the major problems confronting researchers. Ottoman female epistolarity also offers many directions that future research may take. A socio-historical approach contributes to shed new light on the roles Ottoman women played within the family and society. A cultural approach or a gender-based approach can also provide interesting insight into Ottoman women’s epistolarity. Moreover, the fast computerization of scholarly activity suggests creating an electronic archive of Ottoman women’s letters in order to attract the attention of a wider scholarly audience to this field of research. Correspondence of Ottoman Women 3 INTRODUCTION In recent years researchers working in the field of gender studies have started to pay special attention to the place that letter-writing held in early modern women’s lives. As a source, letters provide, indeed, an incomparable insight into women’s thoughts, emotions and experiences, and help to make important advances towards a better understanding and evaluation of female education and literacy, social and gender interactions as well as roles played by women within the family circle, in society and, often, on the political stage.

  • Courtyards and Ottoman Mosques in the 15Th and 16Th Centuries: Symbolism, Mimesis and Demise
    ITU A|Z • Vol 12 No 2 • July 2015 • 35-48 Courtyards and Ottoman mosques in the 15th and 16th centuries: Symbolism, mimesis and demise Satoshi KAWAMOTO [email protected] • JSPS research fellow at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Tokyo, Japan Received: January 2015 Final Acceptance: April 2015 Abstract Te frst aim of this paper is to describe the emergence of courtyards in Otto- man sultanic mosques in the ffeenth century and discuss the background of this pivotal transition. Te reception of courtyards in Ottoman mosques dates back to A.H. 841(1437), Üç Şerefeli Cami in Edirne. Te fact that Eyüp Sultan Camii in Istanbul was the second sultanic mosque with a courtyard indicates the royal sym- bolism of courtyard at a mosque, since the one in Eyüp functioned as the stage of sword girding (kılıç kuşanma) ceremonial of newly enthroned sultans. Secondly, in order to afrm that only sultans could construct mosques with courtyards, a few exceptional non-sultanic mosques with courtyards are exam- ined. Tese pseudo-courtyards, were merely extensions which was a clever solu- tion for non-sultanic benefactors. Finally, it is analysed how Sinan prepared a formula for courtyards in mosques for his non-sultanic patrons in the sixteenth century. He adopted an existing “mosque and madrasa” style for these patrons, but carefully alluded to the dif- ference between the mosque section and the madrasa. However, it was also Si- nan who abandoned this meticulous design and started building mosques with courtyards for non-sultanic patrons in a sultanic manner in 1580s. Te demise of courtyards as a symbol of the omnipotent sultan coincided with the political upheaval of the dynasty.

  • Introduction Suraiya N
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-62094-9 - The Cambridge History of Turkey: The Ottoman Empire as a World Power, 1453–1603: Volume 2 Edited by Suraiya N. Faroqhi and Kate Fleet Excerpt More information 1 Introduction Suraiya N. Faroqhi Of the Ottoman Empire we can say what Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) once wrote about the seventeenth-century military commander and entrepreneur Albrecht von Wallenstein (in Czech, Albrecht Václav Eusebius z Valdštejna, 1583–1634). According to Schiller’s verse, the favour and hate of [conflict- ing] parties had caused confusion, producing a highly variable image of Wallenstein’s character in history. Put differently, it was the diverging per- spectives of the beholders that gave rise to this instability. Admittedly, being a poet, Schiller made his point far more concisely than the present author is able to do.1 In certain traditions of historiography in the Balkans and elsewhere as well, denigrating the Ottoman Empire and making it responsible for all man- ner of “backwardness” is still widespread, although challenges to this view have been mounting during the last 30 years. On the other hand, romanti- cising the images of Mehmed the Conqueror (r. 1451–81) or Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66) is also quite a popular enterprise: witness the statue of Mehmed II in downtown Istanbul – a new one is in the planning stage – and the double monument to Zrínyi Miklós and Sultan Süleyman in a park of Szigetvar, Hungary. To claim “objectivity” means to deceive oneself and others, but the authors of the present volume, whatever their views, have all clearly tried to distin- guish the points made by the primary sources from the interpretations that they propose as historians of the twenty-first century.

  • Festivities of Curfew Centralization and Mechanisms of Opposition in Ottoman Politics, 1582-1583
    Venetians and Ottomans in the Early Modern Age Essays on Economic and Social Connected History edited by Anna Valerio Festivities of Curfew Centralization and Mechanisms of Opposition in Ottoman Politics, 1582-1583 Levent Kaya Ocakaçan (Bahçeşehir University, Turkey) Abstract The Ottoman Empire was a dynastic state, as were its counterparts in Europe and Asia in the early modern period. In order to explain the characteristics of this dynastic governance model, it is essential to focus on how the Ottoman ‘state’ mechanism functioned. One of the prominent aspects of the dynastic state was the integration of politics in household units. Direct or indirect connection of people to these households was the main condition of legitimacy. Thus, the redistribution and succession strategies had a centralized importance in dynastic states. Since being a member of the dynasty was a given category, the state could be reduced to the house of the dynasty at the micro levels. This house transcended those living in it, and in order to sustain the continuity of the house, there was a need to create a ritual showing ‘the loyalty to the dynastic household’. This loyalty was the dominant factor in ensuring the continuity of the house, in other words, the ‘state’, and therefore, the succession strategies in dynastic states had a key importance. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 The Imperial Circumcision Festival of 1582, or Sultan Murad III’s Absolution Show. – 3 Şehzade Mehmed’s Provincial Posting Ceremony. – 4 Conclusion. Keywords Murad III. Mehmed III. Sehzade Mehmed. 16th century centralization. Ottoman house- hold system. Ottoman Empire. 1 Introduction Mehmed II, who represents the ‘centralization’ of the Ottoman Empire, legalized fratricide in order to sustain this continuity.

    Old patterns, new meaning: The 1845 hospital of Bezm-i Alem in Istanbul MIRI SHEFER (*) BIBLID [0211-9536 (2005) 25; 329-350] Fecha de recepción: 18 de noviembre de 2004 Fecha de aceptación: 28 de febrero de 2005 SUMMARY 1.—Introduction. 2.— Bezmi-i Alem’s hospital: a new hospital following established Ottoman traditions. 3.—The Bezm-i Alem’s hospital: a new and european type of an institution. 4.—The context of the Bezm-i Alem’s hospital: the Tanzimat reforms. ABSTRACT This paper discusses the history of an 1845 Ottoman hospital founded by Bezm-i Alem, mother of the reigning sultan Abdülmecit I (reigned 1839-1856), embedded in the medical and political contexts of the Middle East in the nineteenth century. The main focus of this paper is the Ottoman discourse of modernization, which identified progress with modernization and westernization and included a belief in the positive character of progress, with a high degree of optimism regarding the success of the process. The Bezm-i Alem hospital illustrates the medical reality of the 19th century, reconstructed through Ottoman eyes rather than from the perspective of foreigners with their own agenda and biases. In many respects it continued previous medical traditions; other aspects reveal brand new developments in Ottoman medicine and hospital management. Ottoman medical reality was one of coexistence and rivalry: traditional conceptions of medicine and health were believed and practiced side-by- side with new western-like concepts and techniques.

  • REFLECTIONS of the HAREM in the TURKISH NOVEL BETWEEN 1950-2000 • Yasemin UYAR AKDENİZ
    Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi / The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 11 Sayı: 55 Şubat 2018 Volume: 11 Issue: 55 February 2018 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307 -9581 http://dx.doi.org/ 10.17719/jisr.20185537192 REFLECTIONS OF THE HAREM IN THE TURKISH NOVEL BETWEEN 1950-2000 • Yasemin UYAR AKDENİZ Abstract Harem-i Hümayun, where the families and concubines of the Ottoman Rulers stay, is perceived as a “mystery world” due to its closed structure to the outside World. The Harem attracted the attention of many Western travellers during the Ottoman period. The beginning of dealing with the topic of the harem in the Turkish novel corresponds to about a quarter century later, after the Ottoman Empire collapsed after 1950. What is surprising is that; The point of view of the Turkish authors after the 1950s is quite similar to the viewpoint of Western travellers. Among the reasons of this are; the popularisation of writings of Western travellers as well as the assimilation of the right information, and the writers who are concerned about their high sales discover that this is attractive to the reader. Keywords: Harem, Historical Novel, Concubine, Courtier Women, Sultan. Introduction Harem-i Hümayun where the family of Ottoman sultans and many women prisoners which mostly foreigners, was institutionalised by the name of the harem by Orhan Gazi (1336-1360). The Harem became in the most influential position during the reign of the conqueror Sultan Mehmed (1451-1481) (Baysal, 2009: 593). The Harem, a curiosity by western travellers thanks to the mystery of being utterly closed with non- residents, “this hidden and mysterious part of the palace where 200-300 women have a closed life; Westerners have been curious for a long time, full of imagination and fantasy and left the hearing portraits.” (İnalcık, 2001: 7).
