  • Journey to Turkey: a Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey
    IAS 3950.026 Journey to Turkey: A Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey IAS 3950 Journey to Turkey: A Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey Course duration: May 19 – June 6, 2015 Instructor: Firat Demir; Office: CCD1, Room: 436; Office hours: By appointment; Tel. 325-5844; E-mail: [email protected] 1. Course Objective The Anatolian Peninsula that connects Asia and Europe has been at the epicenter of many empires and civilizations for thousands of years. Any attempt to understand the culture, institutions and many of the current challenges present in modern Turkey should begin with the study of these civilizations, which have contributed immensely to the development of the Western and Asian civilizations. After all, this is the place where the words Asia and Europe were coined and where the very first monumental structures in history were built (Gobeklitepe, dating back to 10000 BC). Also, I should mention that the father of modern history, Herodotus was a native of Turkey (a title first conferred by Cicero). This course is comparative and interdisciplinary in nature and crosses multiple disciplines including arts, sociology, cultural studies, history, urban planning, economics, and politics. We will constantly compare and contrast the past and the present, East and the West, Turkey and Europe, modern and archaic, secular and religious, democratic and authoritarian, etc. A special attention will be paid to challenge students’ pre-conceived notions, opinions, perspectives and attitudes towards Western vs. Non-Western civilizations, particularly so for those involving the Middle East and Europe. During our journey, we will visit thousand + years old churches, synagogues, mosques, ancient temples, palaces, cities, monuments as well as the most exquisite examples of modern art, and perhaps not so exquisite examples of modern architecture.

    THESIS ISLAM IN MODERN TURKEY (1938-82) flBSTRflCT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MLOSOPHY IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY AIJAZ AHMED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SAYYIDAHSAN READER DEPARTMiNT OF ISLAMIC STTUDISS ALI6ARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 20Di STff^o % ABSTRACT In tenth century, the Turks of central Asia had converted to Islam and by the eleventh century they began to push their way into South-Eastern Russia and Persia. The Ottoman State emerged consequent to an Islamic movement under Ghazi Osman (1299-1326), founder of the dynasty, at Eskisehir, in North- Eastern Anatolia. Sufis, Ulema and Ghazis of Anatolia played an important role in this movement. For six centuries the Ottomans were almost constantly at war with Christian Europe and had succeeded in imposing the Islamic rule over a large part of Europe. The later Sultans could not maintain it strictly. With the expansion of the Ottoman dominions the rulers became more autocratic with the sole aim of conquering alien land. To achieve this the rulers granted freedom and cultural autonomy to his non-Muslim subjects and allowed the major religious groups to establish self governing communities under the leadership of their own religious chiefs. The recent work is spread over two parts containing eight chapters with a brief introduction and my own conclusions. Each part has four chapters. Part I, chapters I to IV, deals with the political mobilization of the Turkish peasants from the beginning of the modernization period and to the war of Independence as well as the initial stages of the transition to comparative politics.

  • Istanbul Prayer Guide
    PRAY THE DISTRICTS OF ISTANBULa prayer guide Step out the door and hear the horns honking, street dogs barking and the call of a local simit* seller bellowing out “Fresh simit! Fresh simit!” A gypsy woman sets up her street display—bright shades of orange and red daisies—and settles down on a short stool with a cup of tea, ready to watch the day go by. A businessman with a newspaper tucked under one arm and a briefcase slung over his shoulder dodges a taxi while crossing the street and also checking the soccer scores on his smart phone. Street cats congregate around a plate of fish that a benevolent neighbor has bestowed. The scented air outside a corner bakery tempts hungry passers-by.
