3 Credits |
|
Beginning with the Tanzimat and extending to the
Young Turk Revolution, this course enables the
students to learn and engage with the fundamental
concepts and ideas of Ottoman intellectuals in the long
nineteenth century. The transformations in the principle
of political legitimacy, the relation between liberty and
security, constitutionalism, parliamentarism, positivism,
radicalism, conservatism, the concept of modern
empire, and the demand for gender and legal equality:
all these and more will form the content of this course.
By focusing on prominent as well as female and
“neglected” voices and primary texts in Ottoman
intellectual history, this course aims to democratise
and broaden the field of Ottoman political thought in
particular and global intellectual history in general.

| TS 552 The Founding Generations: The Young Turks, The Unionists and The Kemalists |
3 Credits |
|
The founding generations of the modern day Republic
of Turkey, who predominantly shaped the national
culture, institutions, politics and economy of the
republic almost until 1950, grew up in the ‘twilight’ of
the Ottoman Empire. Their formative experiences
were shaped within the confines of a shrinking empire
where rising nationalisms, incorporation into world
markets and modern reforms caused ‘everything solid’
to ‘melt into air.’ This course takes the formation of a
broadly defined group of intellectuals, the Young
Turks, as a starting point and discusses how the ideas
and actions of a selected group of influential figures,
as ‘Unionists’ and later ‘Kemalistst’ shaped
contemporary Turkey. The course relies heavily on
the secondary literature in English and also on
primary sources and ego documents about the
individuals in question. Major topics in Turkish
Studies, such as identity politics, the formation of
Turkish nationalism, the new republic’s economic
policies and the institutions are traced through the
eyes of these individuals and their policies.

| TS 555 Cultural Heritage in Turkey |
3 Credits |
|
Cultural heritage can be defined as the legacy
of tangible artifacts or material culture and
intangible attributes such as customs, practices,
rites or values of a group, society or community
inherited from the past, maintained in the
present and passed on to future generations.
This course investigates the ways how Turkey,
in the past and the present, has defined,
transformed, re-contextualized and
instrumentalized forms of cultural heritage for its
needs and values.
In the scope of this course, it is going to be
examined how cultural heritage was
transformed into national heritage with the rise
of (cultural) nationalism. The uses of cultural
heritage in contemporary Turkey is another
topic of the course. Other topics that will be
discussed in the course include (the creation of)
museums, libraries and archives, archaeological
practices, the creation and preservation of
monuments, national-history writing, the
destruction or alteration of forms of cultural
heritage, propagandistic interpretation of
cultural heritage, and revived or invented
traditions.
