I say of course nothing against those who have been part of important events either as actors or simply as witnesses. How- ever, though they be referred to as ‘memoirs,’ even the texts written by such people should be considered the same as history books, and read as such. What anger me are the ones who seek to occupy us by telling us all about only what happened to them- selves. And no, I have not forgotten about the great autobiographers like Saint Augustine, Rousseau, and Gide; but they gave us their literary works first, and told us their life stories only later. Furthermore, every principle has its exceptions, so we can say that each of their works is such an exception…1 These words that the Turkish literary critic Nurullah Ataç wrote in an article on “memory books” (hatırat kitapları) for the popular magazine Ye d i g ü n in 1934 demonstrate a resentment towards autobiographical texts, a type of text which has in recent years become more widespread in Turkey. The fear that an auto- biographer might not “tell the truth,” as Ataç complains in this essay, had for a long time led to a general mistrust towards autobiographical writings on the part of Turkish historians, while scholars of Turkish literature meanwhile have ignored the genre as a generic hybrid of history book and novel. However, recent devel- opments in literary and critical studies, such as post-structuralism and postmod- ernism, feminism and post-colonialism, have profoundly influenced Turkish so- ciety and culture. It is a world of “Inter”s, “Post”s, and “Trans”es that we are liv- ing in, and in this context the autobiography—or, more generally, autobiographi- cal writing—is a genre that is especially suitable as an object of scholarly interest. Inspired by this tremendous potential for further scholarly discussion, the Ori- ent-Institut Istanbul and the Department of Turkish Language and Literature at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, decided in 2002 to hold a symposium on autobio- graphical writing in Turkey. The initial starting point was to focus fundamentally on whether there were any differences between autobiographical texts in the Middle East and Turkey versus Europe/the “West,” as has been argued by scholars such as Franz Rosenthal, Gustav von Grunebaum, Marvin Zonis, Georges Gus- dorf, and Philippe Lejeune. Other questions to be tackled included: Does Middle Eastern/Turkish literature really lack introspection? To what degree is the issue of introspection really so central for autobiographical texts in the West? If there are so few texts that fit the classical definitions of “autobiography” even in the West, 1 Hatıralarını yazanlara kızarım. Bittabi büyük hadiselere, gerek bir iş görerek, gerek sadece şahit sıfatı ile karışmış olanlara bir diyeceğim yok; fakat onlarınkileri—isimleri istediği kadar “hatırat” olsun—gene bir tarih kitabı sayıp öyle okuyabiliriz. Benim kızdığım sırf kendi baş- larından geçenleri anlatarak bizi alâkadar etmek isteyenlerdir. Saint Augustin, Rousseau, Gide gibi büyük hatıratçıları unutmuyorum; fakat onlar bizi evvelâ eserleri ile celbetmiş sonra hayatlarını anlatmışlardır. Hem her kaidenin istisnaları vardır; diyelim ki onların ese- ri de birer istisnadır. Nurullah Ataç: “Hatırat Kitapları,” Ye d i g ü n No. 58, 18 April 1934. 5-6. © 2016 Orient-Institut Istanbul 10 INTRODUCTION shouldn’t we revise these definitions? The aim of our prospective symposium was to contribute to the discussion of such questions, which began to be posed in the 1990s with regard to autobiographical writings in both Western and non-Western cultures and literatures. We decided to take up “autobiographical writing” rather than “autobiography” because the former enables us to use a larger framework. We avoid the term “autobiography” because of its exclusive and reductionist implica- tions and undertones, preferring instead the term “autobiographical writing,” which is inclusive of all self-narratives and presentations, such as memoirs, confes- sions, diaries and personal notes, and autobiographical

  • Rural Jews of Alsace
    EMW - Workshops EMW 2005 EARLY MODERN WORKSHOP: Jewish History Resources Volume 2: Jews and Urban Space, 2005, University of Maryland Rural Jews in Alsace Debra Kaplan, Yeshiva University, USA ABSTRACT: From 1348/9-1477, the Jews of Alsace were expelled from the cities in which they had lived throughout the Middle Ages. While many opted to leave the Empire for centers in Eastern Europe and Italy, some Jews remained, moving to the towns and villages in the countryside. By the 1470's, the majority of Alsatian Jews lived in rural areas. Quotas often dictated residential policies in towns and villages, so it was not uncommon to find one or two Jewish families per village/town. The following documents detail the relationship of rural Alsatian Jews, as represented by their communal leaders, with two Alsatian cities, Strasbourg and Hagenau.

  • Selbstzeugnisse in Transkultureller Perspektive [*]
    zeitenblicke 1 (2002), Nr. 2 Gabriele Jancke Selbstzeugnisse in transkultureller Perspektive [*] <1> The following will be divided into two parts: at first, I will outline a research project we are planning at the Free University in Berlin. Secondly, I shall draw on my own work on early modern autobiographical writings [1], in order to point out some of the aspects we intend to explore in this project on a more general and larger scale. I. Research project "Selbstzeugnisse in transkultureller Perspective" <2> In the beginning phase there were several scholars at the Free University working on "Selbstzeugnisse" - Claudia Ulbrich and Gudrun Wedel, for example, to name just some fellow-historians, but there were far more. We discovered that there were scholars doing research on egodocuments in the classics department as well as in medieval, early modern and modern history, and even in japanology, Arabic studies and turkology. <3> The other starting point was university politics. Two years ago, in the course of restructuring faculties and making them much larger than before, there were several different subjects lumped together into one large "faculty of historical and cultural studies" ("Fachbereich Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften"), and - more important - encouraged to work together ("encouraged" means that there is some money and organizational help involved). It was then that we had the first meetings and started to think about a joint project. A first presentation took place in a session organized by Claudia Ulbrich (Berlin) and Kaspar von Greyerz (Basel) at the Historikertag in Aachen in 2000. Contributors were Desanka Schwara (Leipzig), Gerhard Wedel (Berlin), and Natalie Zemon Davis (Toronto).

    The Pefrablanca Flake Tools: An Unchanging Technol ogy? Arrrand Salvador B. Miiares- Abstract Three car.tes were excaoated in Pefiablanca, northeastern Luzon in 2003. These caaes yieldedflake toolsfrom earlierpreceramic contexts (c.25,000-3,s00 BP) andlater ceramic ones (c.3,500-1,980 BP). Technological and use-wear analysestnere conducted to test if there was any change in techniques of manufacture or use of the flake tools through time. The oldestflake assemblage in Callao caae (c.25,000 BP) reueals aprobableformallithic technology with apredominance of blade-likeflakes and two probable spear points. The Holocene assemblages indicate no significant changes in manufacturing techniques throughout therohole sequence,beingbasedon asimplehardhammer percussion technique. Use-wear analysis also indicated no significant change, withflakes being utilised onhard and soft contact materials. This paper presents a scenario in which hunter-gatherer populations Lraoe coexisted during the past 3,500 years with agricultural populations lioing on the Cagayan Valley alluaial soils.

[email protected] Eutay Volume 12, pp. 1,3-34 jares 14 Mi Introduction studies of prehistoric human adaptation and culture rely heavily on stone tools for background data. Their durable characteristic makes them one of the few cultural materials to survive the test of time. Knowledge of how a stone tool was manufactured, used, and discarded maybe useful to extrapolate past human behaviour. In 2003, I excavated three cave sites in Pefrablanca, Cagayan Province, Northeastern Philippines (Mijares 2005). The excavation is an attempt to understand the transition from Upper Paleolithic to Neolithic in Northem Luzon. The region contains a number of caves, most of which contain archaeological materials.

  • Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic
    Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic AlFred F. PAwlIk introduction The discussion of cultural, cognitive, and behavioral modernity has a long tradition in europe’s prehistoric archaeology ( Dibble 1989; Hahn 1986; Jelinek 1982; klein 1995, 1999; Mellars 1989a, 1989b). The appearance of specialized blade indus- tries, bone and antler tools, and especially figurative art, musical instruments, and personal ornaments are seen as significant indicators of the highly developed cultural and cognitive abilities of their makers (Clottes 2001; Conard 2003; Conard et al. 2004). The seemingly sudden appearance of expressive art and symbolism together with complex tool technologies in europe at around 40,000 years ago has been attributed to explosive cultural and cognitive advancement with the arrival of ana- tomically modern Homo sapiens ( Klein and Blake 2002; Mellars 1991; Mithen 1996). Whether this Upper Palaeolithic revolution in europe was due to social factors or genetic mutation, was related to changes in the ecosystem, or has a cultural expla- nation (such as competition with another human species, the Neanderthals) is still under debate ( Bar-Yossef 2002; Conard et al. 2004; d’errico 2003; Haidle 2006; McBrearty and Brooks 2000; Mellars 2005; Zilhão 2001). Yet, the “human revolu- tion” model is used to explain the success of the Homo sapiens immigrants over the Neanderthals ( Bräuer and Smith 1992; Conard 2006, 2008; Mellars 2005). On the other hand, potential indicators of an earlier and gradually developing cul- tural and cognitive modernity have been seen in African assemblages. The appearance of some modern cognitive traits (e.g., production of projectile points, shell-fishing, personal ornaments, notational or incised pieces, and pigment processing) in Africa has been dated back to the Middle Pleistocene, earlier than the first evidence of ana- tomically modern hominids 200,000 years ago (Henshilwood et al.
