| Summary | Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi (1541 – 1628) şöhreti İstanbul sınırlarının çok ötesine taşan bir Osmanlı mutasavvıfıdır. Celvetiyye tarikatının “ikinci piri” (pir-i sânî) olarak kabul edilen Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi sultanların hocası, İstanbul Boğazı ve denizcilerin koruyucusu olarak bilinir. Üsküdar’daki türbesi, günümüzde hâlâ farklı insanlar tarafından ziyaret edilen çok canlı bir dinî cazibe noktasıdır. Esther Voswinckel Filiz’in din antropolojisi çalışması Üsküdar’da yıllar süren bir alan araştırmasına dayanıyor. İnsanların burada veli ile nasıl bir ilişki içerisinde olduklarını, mekânın çok katmanlı maddeselliğini, eski ile yeni, taşınır ile taşınmaz ve keza mevcut ile namevcut olanın mekânda birlikteliğini ve bu ilişkide nasıl bir rol oynadığını bu eserde inceliyor. Kitap, Üsküdar’ın türbe ziyaretleriyle ilgili dinî âdet ve geleneklerinden geleneksel şifa sanatına, rüya tabirlerine, geçmişten günümüze sözlü kültüründe nesilden nesile aktarılarak taşınmış evliya menakıplarına ve türbedeki tâc-ı șerîf denilen sanduka başlıklarının dikilmesi ve sarılmasına varıncaya kadar birçok meseleye eğiliyor. 20. yüzyılda yaşamış çeşitli mutasavvıf şahsiyetlerin hayatları üzerine birçok çalışma olmasına rağmen 1925’den günümüze tasavvufun maddi kültüre ve “eşyaları”na bakan yönü nadiren ele alınmıştır. Kitap, İstanbul’un dinî tarihinin kendine özgü bu boyutuna yönelmektedir. |

| Summary | İnceleme toplamda Yunan ve Osmanlı arşiv materyalini araştırmakta ve böylelikle Osmanlı egemenliğinin son yüzyılında Lefkoşa tarihinin şimdiye kadar araştırılmamış bir yönüne ışık tutmaktadır. Aynı zamanda şehrin Osmanlı tebaasına girdiği 1571’e kadar uzanan daha önceki yüzyıllardaki tarihine yönelik kimi sorulara açıklık kazandırmaktadır. Buna göre kentin topografisi (semtlerin sayısı ve adları) ve gerek Frank gerek Venedik döneminde şehirde yaşamış olan etnik-dinsel cemaatler (Yunanlar, Türkler, Ermeniler, Maronitler) hakkında şimdiye kadar geçerli olan belli başlı görüşlerin yeni bir değerlendirmesi yönünde temel oluşturmaktadır. Birinci cilt okuru Osmanlı döneminde sistematik bir muamele sonucunda baş gösteren nüfus felaketlerinin araştırma sonuçlarıyla tanıştıran ve bu sonuçları yapıtın sonraki iki cildinde yorumlayarak betimleyen tarihsel bir incelemedir. Yayının içerdiği Yunan ve Osmanlı kaynakları, Kıbrıs’ın tarihine yönelik başka temalara eğilmek isteyenler için de değerli bir malzemeyi erişilebilir hale getirmektedir. |

| Summary | This book unites the critical edition of the war memories of Ernst Adolf Mueller (1898-1990) with a scientific study on German soldiers in the Middle East during the First World War. In addition to the soldier’s everyday experiences, the book examines for the first time the local mission of the German military intelligence service, the so-called Division III b, as well as the experiences of German prisoners of war in Egypt. Starting point of the study are the memories Mueller wrote sixty years after the events. This text has a high source value in both empirical and historical terms. Especially against the background of Mueller’s entanglement in the early Nazi movement they throw an interesting light on the German memory culture in the 20th century. Special attention was paid to Mueller’s anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, which had their starting point in his experiences during his war captivity. |

| ÖZET | Le développement de rites mortuaires complexes dans l’histoire de l’Homme a résulté dans un rôle croissant joué par les pratiques funéraires utilisées comme moyen de resserrer les liens à l’intérieur d’une même communauté. À cet égard, le singulier usage d’inhumer un individu au cœur de la communauté révèle avec acuité la force de cette relation que pouvaient entretenir les vivants et les morts. Les découvertes archéologiques récentes ont souligné l’importance de telles pratiques liées aux inhumations intra-muros en Anatolie. Bien qu’il semble possible de tisser un lien continu entre ces coutumes, les contextes dans lesquels s’inscrivent la pratique d’inhumer une personne au cœur même de la communauté, depuis l’enfant du Néolithique à Çatalhöyük à la libraire de Celsius à Ephèse, en passant par le Mausolée d’Halicarnasse, ont néanmoins radicalement changés en fonction des époques et des lieux. L’objectif de ce volume, en rassemblant des spécialistes de périodes et d’horizons différents, est d’offrir non seulement un point général de nos connaissances sur ces questions, mais aussi un éclairage concernant le mécanisme de ces pratiques, leur contexte et leur impact en Anatolie, du début de l’Âge du Bronze à l’époque romaine. |

| YAYINCI | IFEA |
| ÖZET | The origins, identity and political behaviors of the Karians remain the subject of intense discussion among specialists. The political organization of Western Asia Minor during the 4th century BC offers an opportunity to explore such questions; it was during this period that local dynasts, the Hekatomnids, reached a position of authority in the region that allowed them to fully express their political ambitions and to promote their own material culture. Analyses of various aspects of this material culture have led scholars to describe the Hekatomnids in very different ways. They have been portrayed both as Persian dynasts and Proto-Hellenistic Kings, although they were neither Greek nor Persian This ambiguity is the result of attempts to approach the cultural identity of 4th century Karia in the light of the cultural power of its neighbors, rather than as the result of an intricate process of cultural interaction that included both local traditions and foreign borrowings. Hekatomnid Karia is representative of the complex phenomenon of hybrid cultures that would later flourish in the Hellenistic World. Gathering specialists on Karian research, each offering a different approach, this book aims to cover a wide number of sources, from archaeological to geographical and historical.

| ÖZET | With the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, a major turning point in all former Soviet republics, Central Asian and Caucasian countries began to reflect on their history and identities. As a consequence of their opening up to the global exchange of ideas, various strains of Islam and trends in Islamic thought have nourished the Islamic revival that had already started in the context of glasnost and perestroika—from Turkey, Iran, the Arabian Peninsula, and from the Indian subcontinent; the four regions with strong ties to Central Asian and Caucasian Islam in the years before Soviet occupation. Bayram Balci seeks to analyse how these new Islamic influences have reached local societies and how they have interacted with pre-existing religious belief and practice. Combining exceptional erudition with rare first-hand research, Balci’s book provides a sophisticated account of both the internal dynamics and external influences in the evolution of Islam in the region. |

| ÖZET | 1868 yılında, Abdülaziz’in Fransa İmparatoru III. Napoléon’la kurduğu yakın ilişki sonucu hükümetin iki etkili bakanı Âli ve Fuad paşaların girişimiyle projelendirilen Mekteb-i Sultani (Lycée Impérial Ottoman da Galata Serai) ise Avrupa’nın en ileri standartlarına sahip bir orta öğretim kurumu olarak tasarlanarak hayata geçirildi. Laik eğitimin de ilk örneği sayılabilecek olan bu yeni tasarım, açılışından itibaren rağbet gördü ve 1871 yılından itibaren verdiği mezunlarla yenilikçi bir eğitim geleneği oluşturdu. Günümüzden yüz elli yıl önce Mekteb-i Sultani’yle yaşanan dönüşüm, gerek Osmanlı Devleti’nin son döneminde, gerekse 1923 yılında Galatasaray Lisesi adını aldıktan sonra, kurumun simgeleşip, öğrenci ve mezunlarına sosyokültürel bir üst kimlik sağlamasına yol açtı. Sergi, 1868’den bu yana süren bir nitelikli insan yetiştirme vizyonundan kesitler sunarak, bir kamu kuruluşunun nadir rastlanır özerk kurumsallaşma öyküsünde saklı olan ilhamı paylaşmak amacıyla tasarlandı. Editörlüğünü, serginin küratörü olan İzzeddin Çalışlar’ın yaptığı katalog, Emel Engin, Fethi İsfendiyaroğlu, Seza Sinanlar Uslu, Gülsün Güvenli Vahdettin Engin, Köksal Bayraktar, Yıldızhan Yayla, Tarkan Okçuoğlu, Melih Şabanoğlu ve İzzeddin Çalışlar’ın Galatasaray Lisesi’nin tüm yönleriyle ele alındığı kapsayıcı makalelerinden oluşuyor. |

Makamsız. Individualization of Traditional Music on the Eve of Kemalist Turkey

| YAZAR | Martin Greve |
| YIL | 2017 |
| ISBN/ISSN | 978-3-95650-278-1 |
| YAYINCI | Orient-Institut Istanbul |
| ÖZET | The book describes the confusing, contradictory and individualized musicscape in Turkey around the turn of the twenty-first century, including its prehistory throughout the twentieth century and sometimes beyond. Its focus lies on the recent tendency towards a disintegration of musical traditions into internationalism and multiple musical hybrids which might be described as a process of individualization. The category of individual as used here includes individual musicians, individual music pieces, individual life experiences, identities and approaches to music, individual musical projects, individual CDs and concerts, even individual concepts of music theory, conferences or research projects. Several factors lead to this development: A growing rate and importance of migration and international mobility; the increase of cross-cultural encounters and experiences; the availability of almost all Ottoman-Turkish, Anatolian and global musical styles, instruments and other musical elements via media; the opening up of identity discourses. A final chapter is intended as a reflection on the question of how this unprecedented musical expansion could have happened within an authoritarian state and society such as the Republic of Turkey. |

The Message has to be spread: On the Character and Significance of Media in the Dissemination of Sufi Content in the Turkish Republic
| KONU | This new issue of the European Journal of Turkish Studies, edited by Dilek Sarmis and Béatrice Hendrich, aims to question the place of media in the process of producing and disseminating artistic expressions, ideas and messages related to the Sufi realm of modern Turkey. The four articles in this issue, covering a historical span between the end of the Ottoman Empire to the present day, do not discuss the conformity to the internal logic of contents presented as a Sufi approach. Rather, to differing extents, they debate forms of mediation, mediatisation and medialisation as we encounter them in great variety in religious culture, teaching and practice generally; and particularly in the field of Islamic mysticism. The articles debate the role of those processes and the corollary of its encoding of Sufi “messages” that preexist only insofar as they are defined in terms of heritage (literary, cultural, religious, ritual and mystical) and classical transmission. |

This peer-reviewed edited volume brings together the results of a diverse group of international researchers conducting new fieldwork, applying new approaches, and making new interpretations about the archaeology of Middle and Late Bronze Age western Anatolia. The territory is huge, and it shows considerable regional diversity. What makes western Anatolian cultures different from their neighbors? Is it possible to identify discrete subregions clearly? And what trajectories of local cultural change and regional interaction did they follow? In addressing these and many other questions, the contributors to this volume provide fresh overviews of current states of research, demonstrating material and chronological synchronicities and/or gaps in knowledge that stretch across the broad territory of western Anatolia, just as they encourage further research into defining regional and sub-regional specificities. Such specificities suggest that the area should not be thought of as one monolithic cultural whole. Rather, they allude to a collection of related yet discrete units, whose shared commonalities stem from participation in overlapping spheres of communication, exchange, and political interaction, justifying their consideration together in a volume like this one.

This is a book about and for the people, communities, and food of Manisa province, Türkiye. From the Bronze Age to the present, it is a story about the food traditions that individuals, especially women, chose to prioritise and therefore keep alive, sometimes for millennia. Yet, as food priorities shift in response to our rapidly changing world, more and more decision-making is required. Consequently, this is both a cookbook and a guidebook for those wishing to find balance in their own food priorities, as well as a permanent record of these recipes and activities. SOFRA was published with the support of the UK Arts & Humanities Research Council grant “Negotiating the Modernity Crisis: Globalization, economic gain and the loss of traditional and sustainable food practices in Turkey” (AHRC AH/V000454/1), awarded to PI Erica Rowan, Royal Holloway University, London and co-PI Christina Luke, Koç University.

The Micro-Regions as Spaces of Socio-Ecological Interaction: 1st Milestone Workshop of the Project »The Transformation of the Pergamon Micro-Region between the Hellenistic and the Roman Imperial Period«
The growing awareness of the current climate crisis has led to an increased interest in the investigation of historical human-environment interactions. In this context, the micro region has proven to be a significant category for ecological, socio-economic and cultural analyses. Within the framework of the micro-region, it is possible to reconstruct complex socio-ecological systems.
The present volume offers a collection of papers held in 2022 at a workshop organized by the project »The Transformation of the Pergamon Micro Region between the Hellenistic and the Roman Imperial Period«. The interdisciplinary contributions reflect on micro regions as spaces of socio-ecological interaction on a theoretical, methodological and empirical level. They convey the current state of knowledge for various regions of the Mediterranean and reveal perspectives for future research.

| Summary | Published in the context of the **Suppose You Are Not** exhibition, formed with works from the Ömer Koç Collection, this book explores the relations created through the juxtapositions within a collection. It begins with Selen Ansen’s curatorial text, “A Door either Open or shut,” followed by art historian Claudia Swan’s essay on the history of wonders and cabinets of curiosities, and Cana Bostan’s essay on collecting practices through concepts of collective unconscious, desire, and history. Designed by Yeşim Demir Pröhl, the publication also features exhibition views and reproductions by photographers Orhan Cem Çetin and Hadiye Cangökçe. Drawing inspiration from a line in Omar Khayyam’s *Rubaiyat*, the exhibition investigates how a private collection can transition from a domestic setting to a museum context, while highlighting the affinities formed between diverse objects through the collector’s vision. With contributions from nearly 400 artists, anonymous artefacts, and various objects, it also marks the first private collection exhibition at Arter. |
