Abstract:
AbstractAs is known, the racist worldview rising in Europe, particularly in Germany of the 1930s, affected also the socio-political realities in Turkey, and became in effect a part of the official policy of the country. Many theories of obvious Turkist nature, such as Güneş Dil Teorisi (Sun Language Theory), were even shaped by the government and introduced into the university programmes. In this framework, the ancient Near Eastern states were declared Turkish, and the idea about the primordial presence of the Turks in Anatolia and Mesopotamia became a sort of axiom or absolute truth. From anthropological perspective, thousands of Armenian and Greek graves were opened and examined for the purpose of determining the real Turkish type; the skulls taken from these graves were compared with those of the contemporary Turks. The racist ideology defeated in Europe as a result of World War II, was correspondingly overthrown in Turkey too; even some sanctions were imposed to its defenders. However, since the 1980s, the similar ideas have been brought to the agenda again via the project of “the re-discovery of the proto-Turks in Anatolia”. Moreover, some Turkish academics have argued that the non-Muslim and non-Turk peoples, such as the Pontus Greeks, the Armenians, and the Assyrians are, indeed, of Turkic origin. This paper examines the recent publications by several Turkish authors who vehemently advocate the above summarised views, which, at the same time, are shared and embraced by a clear majority of the academics studying identity and ethnicity issues in Turkey. The introductory part of the paper discusses the theoretical aspects of ethnicity—again with a focus on the relevant literature published in Turkey.

Abstract:
As a field and course, “Turkic World Literatures” covers Turkish literatures outside Turkey. However, in practice, it is seen to encompass new (contemporary-modern) literature field outside Turkey. This field is taught in Turkish higher education in different courses such as “Contemporary Turkic World Literatures”, “Turkic World Literatures”, “Comparative Turkic World Literatures” and “Azerbaijan/ Turkmenistan, etc. Literature Examples”. Nevertheless, there are some differences in practice and content when it comes to research in the field in general, and teaching in particular. This study discusses a few issues regarding Turkic World Literatures research and teaching and makes suggestions in conclusion. Within the framework of Turkic World Literatures course and research, “determination of the field’s scope”, “inter-field comparison” and “textual adaptation of contemporary literary theories and knowledge” are discussed.

Abstract:
The history of word derivation by morphological method in Turkic languages begins with the research history of the word. The discussions on this subject in the ancient Greek linguistics schools were taken one step further and opinions were expressed about the structure of the language and discourses were developed around the purposes of the language. In fact, the debates developed to such a point that some Greek thinkers, especially Plato and Aristotle, expressed their views on the origin of language, the relationship between words and the concepts they represent, and started philosophical discussions on the subject. The word phenomenon, which is handled in a more philosophical context, has been evaluated with Ferdinand de Saussure on a different plane, around different linguistic attitudes. After that, linguistic and, in a narrower sense, lexicographic studies were initiated in the contemporary approach. In Turkish dictionaries, a word is defined as a "meaningful sound or combination of sounds. In the sources, a word is defined as "a single sound or group of sounds that has a meaning or grammatical function and is processed alone". In studies, words are defined as "concepts consisting of one or more syllables and having different meanings for each language" in terms of meaning and syllable. Linguists distinguish between lexical and grammatical word types and evaluate words with inflectional suffixes around the second definition. In the article, the history of researching word derivation by morphology method in Turkish languages, and approaches to word derivation in morphology were investigated. In the writing of the article, a comparative method was used by making use of different scientific sources. Key words: derived word, morphology, Turkish language, research, affix, root

Abstract:
In Turkey, preservice social studies teachers take history education courses such as Revolution History and Kemalism I-II, Ancient History and Civilization, Pre-Islamic Turkish History and Culture, History of Turkish Education, History of Medieval Age, Ottoman History and Civilization I-II, New and Contemporary History, Contemporary World History, and History of Turkish Republic I-II during their undergraduate education. The purpose of this study was to reveal preservice social studies teachers’ opinions regarding how these courses were taught. Within this scope, their perceptions of how these courses were taught and their opinions regarding how history courses should be taught were tried to be determined. The participants of this study involved 125 third and fourth-year undergraduates studying social studies education of a faculty of education at a state university. One of the qualitative research designs, phenomenology was used in this study. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview form. During the interviews, the participants were asked to respond three questions: “What is instruction?”, “How are history courses taught in your department?”, and “how should the history courses be taught?” The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis technique. Direct quotations were used and the emerging themes were presented under some categories in Findings section.

Abstract:
The deplorable plight of Rohingya Muslim boat refugees who have been refused entry by their neighboring Muslim countries was a disheartening episode for the ummah. The subsequent involvement of the Turkish government in dispatching ships of the Turkish Armed Forces to rescue the refugees has reopened the discourse on the necessity for a confederation of Muslim nation-states acting in concert within the global context as an operative framework of Islamic ethics in international relations. The episode invites Muslims to rethink the role of their own religious tradition in providing relevant ethical guidelines for international affairs that simultaneously address the reality of the modern nation-state.

Abstract:
The article examines the phenomenon of neo-Ottoman nostalgia in the context of attempts to shape a new post-Kemalist civil identity. Today, neo-Ottomanism is making itself heard in various spheres of life in Turkish society: in culture, cinema and literature, politics and elsewhere. The new Turkey is making every effort to tie together individual parts of its fragmentary identity. This being said, an ambivalent approach to the Ottoman heritage is widespread amongst various strata of Turkish society. Most of the founding fathers of the secular republic took a negative view of the Ottoman past and blamed the empire for a string of failures that beset it at the dawn of its new existence – extensive territorial losses and numerous military defeats. The Kemalist nation building project gave rise to a modern Turkish nation which was supposed to become part of the Western world. At the same time, the appeal to Ottoman narratives reemerged after the transition to a multiparty system in the 1950s; admiration for the Ottoman past increased noticeably in the 1980s and has now reached its peak under the Justice and Development Party (JDP). The party leaders are striving to create a new identity for contemporary Turkey, construing and interpreting history in their own way. It should also be taken into account that the growing interest in Ottoman history in contemporary Turkey reflects changes in both the state’s political discourse and popular culture. This nostalgia for the past reinterprets and decontextualizes previously clearly formulated and enshrined symbols, ideas and historical facts.

Abstract:
Abstract This article analyses how the ruling party in Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are trying to construct a new Turkish nation on an ideological level through a different reading of Ottoman history. In this process, a special reading of Ottoman history comes to the fore after the Kemalist state tried to undermine its importance. The article studies the importance of the ideological use of history and the instrumentalization of the events of the Ottoman past by the administration in Turkey. This effort is analysed as an attempt to prove the historical continuity of the Turkish nation, which includes the long Ottoman history that the Kemalist state challenged. It is argued that Erdoğan is in essence nationalizing and religionizing the Ottoman Empire as a Turkish and Islamic empire and Ottomanizing the contemporary Turkish nation as one that should rely on the religious aspect of its identity.

Abstract:
Throughout history, one of the most complex issues encountered between the Turks and the Greek is undoubtedly the population exchange. Although it is viewed with different perspectives in terms of political and historical contexts, it is tragic in its essence. Generally subject to political debates, the forced migration is among the themes portrayed in novels, it is rarely depicted in Turkish poetry. One of the contemporary Turkish poets Süreyya Berfe (b. 1943) depicted the theme of population exchange by dedicating a lengthy poem named "Iskele Lights to Giorgos Seferis" to Giorgos Seferis (1900 - 1971) and to all people who were displaced due to forced migration. In his lengthy poem consisting of thirty-seven parts, with a feeling of kindred spirit, he depicts the history, memories and nostalgia of the people who were forced to migrate just like him. This article will identify the population exchange between the Turks and the Greek in poetry, with its humane and tragic aspects, free from historical, sociological, and political engagements.

Abstract:
The custom of coffee drinking in Turkey dates back to the sixteenth century coffeehouses of Istanbul, which were once important forums for community integration. Even though coffee drinking today is still an important custom in Turkey, traditional coffeehouses have lost their importance in urban areas and are rapidly being replaced by contemporary cafes that promote European themes. With the new generation placing less emphasis on traditional values and accepting a modernized lifestyle, the existence of Turkish coffeehouse culture is struggling to survive. The purpose of this thesis project was to develop a design concept for a contemporary Turkish coffeehouse franchise retaining important aspects of the traditional coffeehouses of the past. Historic features were identified through observations and visual recordings of historic Turkish coffeehouses and interviews with older patrons of traditional coffeehouses. Focus group discussions were held with graduate and undergraduate Turkish students enrolled at Virginia Tech to obtain information on their perceptions of traditional coffeehouses and responses to the idea of a contemporary coffeehouse. Based on the information gathered, design criteria were established for the design of individual coffeehouse components with a consistent image, adaptable to various sites and spaces. Coffeehouse logo, nameplate, and facade designs were proposed. Presentations for the design included detailed elevations, plans, sketches, and perspective views.

Abstract:
La différence et l'altérité reliant les questions de la représentation, de l'identité et de l'idéologie, constituent des concepts opératoires pour une appréhension créative d'un cinéma national en évolution. Située à la croisée des études culturelles et cinématographiques, l'étude se concentre sur le cinéma turc contemporain déterminé de plus en plus par l'affranchissement des seuils de visibilité et de légitimité des sujets marginaux et minoritaires avec de nouveaux thèmes et formes de récit. L'élargissement de l'horizon défini par les conditions de possibilité du secteur, et les changements survenus dans le contexte socio-culturel expliquent en partie cette ouverture et la diversité des visions contenues. L'analyse des films répartis en fonction des figures de l'autre et des problèmes qu'elles soulèvent, révélant les mouvements de repli ainsi que les capacités d'innovation des œuvres filmiques, témoigne moins d'un renouveau du cinéma turc que d'une intensification de la lutte au sein du dispositif dominant. Tandis que les nouvelles stratégies de représentations se développent parallèlement aux changements des modes de contrôle, le renouvellement des images implique l'instauration des nouvelles frontières de visibilité et normes d'accessibilité. Le traitement de la question de l'Autre permet de distinguer trois modes particuliers non exclusifs, représentant les tendances principales au sein du cinéma turc : mode nostalgique, mode critique et mode réflexif
The difference and the otherness constitute the operative concepts for understanding the creative development in national cinema. This study, intersecting cultural studies and cinematographies, concentrates on the contemporary Turkish cinema determined more and more by the liberation of the thresholds of visibility. The enlargement of the horizon defined by the conditions of erratic possibilities and materials in the film industry and the changes in the socio-cultural context explain partly the widening of the cinematographic space and the diversity of visions contained. The analysis of film texts are distributed according to the figures of the other and the problems they are raising, revealing the regressive movements as well as the capacity for innovation that emerge from the films, shows less a renaissance or revival of Turkish cinema than an intensification of the struggle within the dominant system. Developing new strategies in the field of representation goes hand in hand with the changes in the modes of control, and this synergy paves the way to the establishment of the new frontiers and new accessibility norms. The treatment of the question of the Other allows to distinguish three non-exclusive modes particularly, representing the main trends within the Turkish cinema : the nostalgic mode, the critical mode and the reflexive mode

Full text
Abstract:
Depuis quelques années, certains metteurs en scènes européens prennent des initiatives particulièrement audacieuses dans leurs adaptations de textes classiques, coupant le texte, modifiant l’ordre des monologues et allant jusqu’à injecter des morceaux de textes écrits par eux ou bien issus d’autres oeuvre littéraires. Ils n’hésitent plus à "se mettre en scène", c’est-à-dire à traiter avant tout leurs propres questions existentielles par l’intermédiaire des textes classiques, se libérant ainsi de toute pression exercée sur eux par les interprétations textuelles faisant autorité ou bien par les représentations de ces textes dans l’imaginaire collectif, et emmenant les textes classiques dans un "ailleurs" très personnel. Leurs mises en scène dépassent la fragmentation et le désordre propres au théâtre postmoderne et s’attachent au contraire à raconter une histoire cohérente, centrée sur les préoccupations intimes du metteur en scène. Ce nouveau type de mises en scène s’appuie sur des influences diverses, depuis André Antoine jusqu’à Heiner Müller, en passant par Stanislavski, Artaud et Brecht, et constitue une nouvelle étape dans le processus d’autonomisation de l’art de la mise en scène à l'oeuvre depuis le XIXème siècle. Le corpus de cette thèse comprend quatre récentes adaptations (réalisées entre 2008 et 2011) de textes classiques : Hamlet de Thomas Ostermeier, Hamlet de Nikolaï Kolyada, Roméo et Juliette d’Olivier Py et Un tramway de Krzysztof Warlikowski (à partir de Un tramway nommé Désir de Tennessee Williams). Il comprend également une mise en pratique sous la forme d’une adaptation, Pygmalion - J’ai créé une femme (à partir de Pygmalion de George Bernard Shaw), réalisée par l’auteur de la thèse en 2014 au sein des Théâtres Nationaux de Turquie, et ayant permis de tester les arguments et conclusions tirés des analyses précédentes
In recent years, some European directors are taking particularly bold initiatives in their adaptations of classic texts, cutting the text, changing the order of monologues and even injecting pieces of texts written by them or from other literary works. They do not hesitate to "stage themselves", that is to say, to treat primarily their own existential questions through the classic texts, thus releasing any pressure exerted on them by the authoritative textual interpretations or by the representations of these texts in the collective imagination, and taking the classic texts in a very personal "elsewhere". Their stagings exceed the fragmentation and disorder specific to postmodern theater and focus instead on telling a coherent story, centered on the intimate concerns of the director. This new type of staging draws on diverse influences from André Antoine to Heiner Müller through Stanislavski, Brecht and Artaud, and represents a new stage in the empowerment process of the art of staging at work since the nineteenth century. The corpus of this thesis includes four recent adaptations (conducted between 2008 and 2011) of classic texts: Thomas Ostermeier’s Hamlet, Nikolai Kolyada’s Hamlet, Olivier Py’s Romeo and Juliet, and Krzysztof Warlikowski’s A Streetcar (from A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams). It also includes a practical application in the form of an adaptation, Pygmalion - I Created A Woman (from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw), directed by the author of the thesis in 2014 in the Turkish State Theatres and having tested the arguments and conclusions from previous analyzes

Abstract:
Modern Turkish cinema is a space in which different versions of national history coexist. Mainstream cinematography produced during the period of AKP rule is a field for broadcasting Turkey’s ‘glorious history’, both within and beyond the country. In mainstream historical films, neo-Ottomanism is brought to the fore. The heroisation of the Ottoman past is conducted through the depiction of Turkish military glory. At the same time, acute ethno-confessional issues are ignored, and Turkey is represented as a homeland of many peoples. Religious myths are used to support the idea of Turkey as the legal successor to the Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate. Conversely, Turkish art house films focus on complicated moments in the history of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey (such as the Greek, Armenian and Kurdish questions). Niche films are a forum for expressing critical attitudes to the ‘traditional’ vision of Turkish history. Overall, this disagreement between Turkey’s creative intelligentsia and the ruling elite over the interpretation of history is part of a wider discourse on cultural hegemony and resistance. This chapter is devoted to exploring the formation of ‘different histories’ of Turkey in modern Turkish cinema.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, the government of Turkey has gradually popularised a specific historical narrative. According to this narrative, Ottoman (that is, Turkish) conservative elites have been battling ‘internal and external enemies’ in order to defend ‘Turkish–Islamic civilisation’ throughout history. This narrative concludes with the emergence of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) led by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as the final (and ultimate) defender of Islam and the Turkish nation. This chapter discusses how representations in the popular TV drama series Payitaht: Abdülhamid are instrumentalised in order to make an implicit connection between the historical travails of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the present-day challenges facing President Erdoğan. This connection, it is argued here, has been intentionally constructed. The chapter also reflects changing representations of Abdülhamid II in educational materials (history curricula and textbooks) during the AKP era.

Abstract:
In recent years, the historical centre of Ankara has undergone remarkable processes of restoration and renovation. New shops, cafés, restaurants, hotels and museums have been opened, while the city’s historic neighbourhoods are being (re)discovered by tourists and local residents alike. These new tourist sites are characterised by neo-Ottomanist cultural practices, neoliberal economic activities and Turco-Islamic connotations. The restoration and transformation of Ankara’s historic neighbourhoods constitutes a spatial embodiment of the ruling elite’s cultural politics. The representations of Ottoman heritage are intended to signify the ruling elite’s power, as well as a new notion of public memory. They are profoundly influenced by Turkish popular culture, and especially by popular TV series on different periods of Ottoman history. In this way, however, the authenticity of these new historic sites is implicitly called into question. Ankara’s new urban culture appears as the perfect example of restorative nostalgia, which Svetlana Boym has defined as a nostalgia that promises to rebuild a lost past and fill gaps in the popular memory with new constructions. This chapter is based on field research which investigates the (re)created nostalgia culture of Ankara’s historic Hamamönü and Hamamarkası neighbourhoods.

Abstract:
This chapter is based on the Byzantine sources, especially the detailed history of the contemporary Pachymeres, who presents the decline of Byzantine power in western Asia Minor. Emperors could deal with settled states—the Seljuks and the Mongols—but they couldn’t keep out the marauding Turkish tribes, among whom Osman was still a minor figure who only appears on the scene in 1302 when he defeated a Byzantine army. It discusses the other Turcoman tribes as well as the Grand Catalan Company, hired by Byzantium in vain. Relations between Byzantium and the Mongols are another theme: this chapter advances a novel thesis that Osman met defeat and possibly death at the hands of the Mongols in 1307 and notes the 20-year gap in the Turkish tradition. Turning to the south, the spectacular career of Umur of Aydin who became an ally of the empire is presented.

Abstract:
Overconsumption is fueled by the idea that the more people buy, the happier they become; however, this is not compatible with sustainability and the future of the planet. Deep concerns about the sustainability of nature and natural resources give rise to discussions of sustainable consumption, and social innovation applications may lead the way to sustainable consumption. Thus, this chapter aims to provide a picture of social innovation practices in services for sustainable consumption in an emerging economy. Although the chapter focuses mainly on contemporary social innovations, an overview of the social innovation concept and possible historical roots of social innovations from Turkish history are also provided.

Abstract:
This chapter considers Fawwaz’s use of contemporary Arabic sources, notably the Arab world’s first modern encyclopedia (produced in the last quarter of the nineteenth century), a world history in Arabic, and contemporary magazines published in Egypt. Her use of these sources challenges scholars’ tendencies to categorise intellectuals of the time according to their origins and religious affiliations, for Fawwaz drew liberally on these works by Syrian Christian writers and reformers as well as briefly on a Turkish-language compilation. The chapter incorporates a study of the Bustani encyclopedia focusing on its treatment of biography as well as its articulated sense of readership, and its use of a modern apparatus of subject organisation and alphabetization, which Fawwaz followed to a large degree, while cleverly maintaining the sense of Islamic priority evident in early biographical dictionaries by placing Muhammad’s mother Amina at the very start of her volume. The chapter continues the analysis of the previous chapter of how Fawwaz appropriated and modified the contents and diction of her sources.

Abstract:
This chapter takes a look at the Muslimische Jugend Deutschland (Muslim Youth of Germany, or MJD), a small organization of not more than 1200 registered members. The MJD promotes Muslim youths of diverse backgrounds coming together to discover ways of becoming active and desirable members of German society. Young members of the MJD participate in discussions about how to represent Muslims and immigrants in the general elections; arrange trips to Auschwitz in order to shoulder the weight of German history and talk about its meaning for contemporary German society; and organize New Year's evening celebrations along with hip-hop concerts that are Islamically proper. Many born Muslim members confirm that through their participation in the MJD, they start to embrace their German identity in a wholehearted way and define themselves primarily as German rather than Turkish or Arab.

Abstract:
This Reflection explores the production of the body as a space and the remaking of city spaces through an analysis of Muslim women’s veiling as an embodied spatial practice in contemporary Turkey. This exploration builds on geographic approaches to space as relational, always in the making, and produced by everyday practices and to bodies that emphasize their porosity, fluidity, and multiscalar dimensions. In a period of Turkish history when the headscarf continues to be restricted and stigmatized, the Reflection examines the effects of veiling on women’s bodies by focusing on how this practice redefines a woman’s relation to her body when she starts wearing a headscarf as an adult. Veiling initiates a struggle to discipline and shape her body according to her Islamically oriented ideals, thus remaking her body emotionally and materially. This practice also shifts her experiences of different city spaces across Istanbul. The Reflection traces the place of veiling and veiled bodies from the streets of a conservative neighborhood to a shopping mall and a city square that is central to political activism. Approaching veiling as an embodied spatial practice opens up new questions to explore about how veiling is productive of spaces and participates in the continuous process of space-making.

Abstract:
Mythology is called the myths, which are about the seemingly real events to explain the beliefs, practices, institutions, or natural phenomena of a particular civilization or religious tradition, but are often associated with rituals and ceremonies, mostly unknown origin. Rumors tell the events that are outside of human life but which are the basis of it, what the gods or extraordinary beings do. This situation is generally included in folk narratives. The Turkish tribes who live in different parts of the world have their own folk narratives. Some of these folk narratives, such as Koroglu and Alpamys, have exceeded the difficulties of geography and history and have belonged to the whole of the nation. Er-Tostuk narrative is one of them.
