  • Museums in the Construction of the Turkish Republic Melania Savino
    Great Narratives of the Past. Traditions and Revisions in National Museums Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Paris 29 June – 1 July & 25-26 November 2011. Dominique Poulot, Felicity Bodenstein & José María Lanzarote Guiral (eds) EuNaMus Report No 4. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=078 © The Author. Narrating the “New” History: Museums in the Construction of the Turkish Republic Melania Savino University of London Abstract The disciplines of archaeology and museology underwent a profound reformation after the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The Kemalist idea was to found a new state with new traditions, a common heritage to share within the Turkish boundaries; and the past became a powerful tool to fulfil this project. Numerous excavations were conducted in Anatolia after the 1930s, and consequently the archaeological museums were intended to play an important role in showing the new archaeological discoveries to the wider public. This paper aims to investigate the connection between museums and national identity in Turkey after the establishment of the Republic. In the first part, I analyze the development of the history of archaeological practice and its political implications before and after the foundation of the Republic. In the second part, I focus my attention on the foundation and development of the Archaeological Museums of Istanbul and Ankara, investigating the connection between the state and the museums through the visual representation of the past. 253 Introduction In 1935, the former director of the Istanbul museums, Halil Edhem Bey (1861–1938), wrote an article in La Turquie Kemaliste, the official propaganda publication of the Kemalist government entitled “The significance and importance of our museums of antiquities among the European institutions” (Edhem 1935: 2–9).

  • Note on Captions, Transliterations, and Translations
    Note on Captions, Transliterations, and Translations Captions for multiple images of the same building give dates and locations only in the first instance. Without further qualification, “Istanbul” indicates a site within the walled city proper; extramural locations such as Üsküdar and Eyüp are additionally specified. Except in transliterated quotations and book titles, foreign terms that have en- tered standard English dictionaries (for example, “pasha,” “dhimmi,” “mihrab”) are written in their anglicized forms, and even less familiar terms are italicized only on their initial occurrence. Ottoman terms are provided with full diacritics when first written and thereafter spelled according to modern Turkish orthography, though I have retained medial ’ayns and hamzas throughout (for example, “mi’mar”). In transliterating from Ottoman Turkish, I have followed the system used by the are غ and خ:International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, with the following adaptions respectively rendered as h and ġ, and certain orthographic conventions pertaining to ˘ native Turkish words are ignored in favor of spellings that better reflect the actual pronunciation of the time (for example, etdirüp rather than itdirüb). As is typical for the period, all eighteenth- century Ottoman texts quoted in this book are originally un- punctuated, and any punctuation that appears in the transliterations is my own. Names of buildings are written in accordance with their “scholarly” modern Turk- ish forms if these are well known (for example, “Sultan Ahmed Mosque” rather than “Sultanahmet Mosque”), though in cases where this approach would be pedantic, I have used the spellings that are today most current (for example, “Hacı Kemalettin Mosque,” not “Hacı Kemaleddin Mosque”).

  • ISTANBUL the Ancient Constantinople the Ancient Constantinople
    ISTANBUL the ancient Constantinople DAY 1 / Khartoum – Istanbul by night flight and city sightseeing Departure from Khartoum airport with Turkish Airline. Arrival at Istanbul airport, meet and greet with your local guide and transfer to your hotel. Breakfast and city tour. You will proceed discovering the treasures of this amazing city, gateway to the Western and Eastern world. You will visit first the Basilica Cistern , an extraordinary subterranean cistern featuring a wildly atmospheric forest of columns (336 to be exact), vaulted brick ceilings, mysterious carved Medusa-head capitals and ghostly patrols of carp. This amazing building is a testament to the ambitious town planning and engineering expertise of the Byzantines. You will visit then Aya Sofya , a majestic Byzantine basilica. Built by order of the Emperor Justinian in the sixth century AD, its soaring dome, huge nave and glittering gold mosaic contribute to its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful buildings, and its long and fascinating history as church, mosque and museum makes it the city’s most revealing time capsule. Looted by marauding Crusaders in the 13 th century, stormed by Ottoman invaders during the Conquest in 1453 and visited by millions of tourists since becoming a museum, it is Turkey’s greatest treasure. You will then visit Topkapi Palace , an opulent Ottoman palace complex occupying the promontory of Istanbul’s Old City. A series of mad, sad and downright bad sultans lived here with their concubines and courtiers between 1465 and 1830, and extravagant relics of their centuries of folly, intrigue, excess, patronage, diplomacy and war are everywhere you look.

  • Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque), Istanbul
    Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque), Istanbul TouristsPicture ofat thethe BlueBlue MosqueMosque Courtyard of the Blue Mosque An emblem of the Turkish and Islamic art, the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey is a place, both of meditation and admiration. This prominent building is listed on the itinerary of every tourist who comes to Istanbul. Built during the reign of Ahmed I, the Blue Mosque (aka Sultanahmet Camii in Turkish) derives its name from the blue colored tiles of the walls used in its construction. It is also called the Sultan Ahmed Mosque , as it houses the resting place of its founder. The mosque has a madrasa. There is also a provision of medical aid at the mosque. Even though there are three entrances to the mosque, it is suggested to enter the mosque from the west direction for panoramic views. The sybaritic curves of the mosque, the commodious courtyards, sky-reaching minarets, make this Ottoman mosque a doozy of religious places. The interior decor of the mosque is lavishly decorated with the psychedelic paintings. The stained glass and tiles generate luminous effects to complement the vistas. More than 20,000 recherché Iznik tiles were used to embellish the interiors of the mosque. Travel Tips Remove your shoes and put them in plastic bags that are available at the mosque (without any charges). Cover your head with coverings that are provided at the entrance, free of cost. Flash photography is prohibited inside the mosque. Maintain silence in the mosque. When you return, put the used plastic bags in the designated dustbins and return the head coverings.
