The dervishes of sovereignty, the sovereignty of dervishes: The Mevlevi Order in Istanbul.= Saltanatin dervisleri, dervislerin saltanati: Istanbul'da Mevlevilik. Due to Unesco's designation of 2007 as the 800th anniversary of Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî's (1207-1273) birth, Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Istanbul Research Institute prepared the exhibition The Dervishes of Sovereignty, The Sovereignty of Dervishes: The Mevlevî Order in Istanbul, in order to shed light upon the Sufi history of Istanbul and to commemorate once again the life of Rumi. A mystical institution of medieval Islam at the end of 13th century with respect to its social and cultural roots, the Mevlevî Order assumes its unique place in the world due to Istanbul's close interaction with the Renaissance in Europe and embarks upon a journey that leads from Konya to Istanbul, upon Sultan Mehmed II's conquest of the latter. As part of the historical continuum that lasts for centuries, the Mevlevî Order is transformed from an Eastern mentality to becoming the epitome of an intellectual and spiritual bridge between the East and the West. Following the inauguration of the Galata Mevlevî Lodge in 1491, although the Order finds the opportunity to expand into the Balkan and Mediterranean geography, the Mevlevî sheikh families of Istanbul lay the foundations of the Istanbul Mevlevî Order as of the mid-17th century. Representing the chivalry of word, the universality of heart, and the sanctity of spirit, the Mevlevîs of Istanbul weave the Mevlevî symbolism, which has been shaped in the medieval mystical culture of Islam, into the texture of daily life. In an effort to give spirit to matter, these unique men are the architects of a vast cultural spectrum that ranges from clothing to ordinary objects and from works of art to colloquial language. Brought to life through the collaborative efforts of exhibition curator Ekrem Isin and exhibition consultant Prof. M. Baha Tanman and comprised of levhas (panels), engravings, photographs, and daily objects, which constitute an important part of the visual archives of the Ottoman Empire, The Dervishes of Sovereignty, The Sovereignty of Dervishes: The Mevlevî Order in Istanbul exhibition and catalogue is a mystical journey into the ney-playing, whirling dervishes.

2016New English Original leather bdg. HC. In special box. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 240 p. A Bosporus adventure. A Bosporus Adventure is a history of the Woman's College at Constantinople by a former president. Mary Mills Patrick was born 10 March 1850 in Canterbury, New Hampshire to John & Harriet (White) Patrick. She graduated from the Lyons Collegiate Institute in Lyons, Iowa, in 1869. In 1871, by appointment of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, she became a teacher in a mission school in Erzurum. In her four years there Patrick learned ancient and modern Armenian. In 1875 she was transferred to the American High School for Girls in Üsküdar, and she became principal of the school in 1889. During her summers she lived in Greek villages. She thus was able to add Greek and Turkish to her repertoire of languages. After a study furlough in the United States she received a master's degree from the University of Iowa in 1890. In that year, after much planning and the securing of a charter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the American High School became the American College for Girls at Constantinople, later known as Constantinople Woman's College. Patrick served as president of the college from its opening. Her summer studies at the Universities of Heidelberg, Zürich, Berlin, Leipzig, Paris, and Oxford resulted in a Ph.D. from the University of Bern, Switzerland, in 1897. Her dissertation was published in 1899 as Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism. When the college was destroyed by fire in 1905, a new site was acquired in Arnavutköyü on the European side of the Bosporus. A new charter in 1908 ended the college's ties to the mission board, and in 1914 the new campus was occupied. Patrick kept the school open through the Balkan Wars, the Turkish revolution, and World War I, and through those changes it evolved from a school primarily for minority Greek, Armenian, and Bulgarian Christian women into a leading centre of higher education for Turkish women. She remained president until her retirement in 1924, after which she moved back to the United States. The American College for Girls later affiliated with nearby Robert College for men. Patrick's books include Sappho and the Island of Lesbos (1912); The Greek Skeptics (1929); Under Five Sultans (1929), an autobiography; and A Bosporus Adventure (1934), a history of the college.

2010New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Large 4to. (31 x 31 cm). In French and Turkish. 301, [3] p., color and b/w ills. Dessinateur Pierre Loti: Une oeuvre au long cours. Loti, de Turquie.= Ressam Pierre Loti: Uzun bir yolculuk. Loti'yi Türkiye'den görmek. Le romancier à succès Pierre Loti (1850-1923) a occulté le dessinateur. Sous son véritable nom de Julien Viaud, comme reporter et pour le plaisir, il avait pourtant composé, au fil de ses campagnes de jeune officier de marine, une remarquable ¿uvre graphique, ethnographique aussi. La voici pour la première fois réunie. Plus de cinq cents dessins, accompagnés des gravures qui en furent tirées et de textes de l¿écrivain, forment un singulier carnet de voyages autour du monde, vers les lointains de cet artiste polymorphe et raffiné : Terre de Feu, île de Pâques, Tahiti, Brésil, Amérique du Nord, Sénégal, Maghreb, Adriatique, Indochine, Japon, mais aussi Bretagne et Saintonge natale, sans oublier son cher « Stamboul ». Du simple croquis à l¿aquarelle aboutie, le trait, sûr et inspiré, fait surgir un foisonnement de portraits et d¿événements, d¿étonnements et de fantaisies, de visions. Le monde de l¿un des derniers romantiques. Alain Quella-Villéger et Bruno Vercier sont les deux spécialistes de Pierre Loti et de son oeuvre, auxquels ils ont consacré de nombreux ouvrages, ensemble ou séparément (voir la bibliographie, p. 291). Ils ont notamment entrepris de conserve la publication au long cours du Journal de Loti (t. 1, 2006 ; t. 2, 2008, Paris, Les Indes savantes). Alain Quella-Villéger, natif de Rochefort, comme Pierre Loti, agrégé d¿histoire et docteur ès-lettres en histoire contemporaine, est le biographe de Pierre Loti, de Claude Farrère et de René Caillié. Il est, en outre, co-auteur d¿une dizaine d¿anthologies aux éditions Omnibus (dont Istanbul, Rêves de Bosphore, 2001), directeur et fondateur de la revue Les Carnets de l¿exotisme (1990-2006), à la suite de la Revue Pierre Loti (1980-1988), et auteur de plusieurs autres ouvrages, dont deux romans. Aux éditions Bleu autour, il a préfacé la réédition de Suprêmes visions d¿Orient (2006, 2010), le dernier ouvrage de Pierre Loti. Bruno Vercier, docteur ès-lettres et universitaire, spécialiste de l¿autobiographie et du journal intime, est co-auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur la littérature française contemporaine (aux éditions Bordas). Il a signé l¿appareil critique de nombreuses rééditions de textes de Pierre Loti, ainsi que de Raymond Radiguet et Charles-Louis Philippe (aux éditions Flammarion et Gallimard). Il préside l¿Association pour laMaison de Pierre Loti. Enis Batur, qui vit à Istanbul et séjourne régulièrement à Paris, est l¿une des figures centrales de la littérature turque depuis vingt-cinq ans. Romancier, essayiste et poète, il est l¿auteur d¿une centaine d¿ouvrages, souvent traduits dans de nombreuses langues étrangères. En France, ses ouvrages paraissent chez Actes Sud (La Pomme, roman, 2004 ; Amer savoir, récit, 2002 ; D¿autres chemins, récit, 2008) et chez Bleu autour (D¿une bibliothèque l¿autre, 2008 ; Ottomanes, Autochromes de Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, en collaboration, 2006), où il a également préfacé trois recueils, deux de poèmes (Va jusqu¿où tu pourras, OrhanVeli, 2009 ; J¿ai vu la mer, anthologie, 2010), l¿autre de nouvelles (Le Samovar, Sait Faik Abasiyanik, 2010).

Since the publication of our earlier study; 'Orientalism and Turkey', we have been exploring the ramifications of Orientalism in the Ottoman capital of Istanbul itself, or as it was generally known in the nineteenth and early twentieth century: Constantinople. The present study, documented by both visual and written records, including memories, reveals not only the ways in which Istanbul was perceived and portrayed by European artists in the nineteenth century, but it also tries to represent the contemporary city as it truly lived and breathed. In the present work, the reader will discover the identity of Western artists whose works pictorially limned the Ottoman capital, their favorite subjects ¿the harem, the bath, the coffeehouse, and the slave market- and the nature of their interpretation of these subjects.

Museum, and showed how the Ottoman-European relationships and political events has reflected in Arts, a theme common with the previously held exhibition entitled From the Medicis to the Savoias, Ottoman Splendour in Florentine Collections. Along with being a rich art collection for the museums, the large number of portraits where the foreigners pose in Turkish costumes in their homeland after fighting with the Turks, showing how "Fear from the Turks" converted into a fascination, and the goods from the Ottomans that are either gained from wars, received as presents or bought, and the important role that they played in the European social life have always been interesting subjects for historians and other social researchers. In the exhibition, 92 oil paintings, landscapes and engravings, coming from different Museums in Central Europe (especially Slovenia) and private collections from England and Turkey, were displayed.

From travel posters to cigarette packs, from postcards to ornaments, from advertisements to comic strips, the Orient has often been turned by the West into yet another commodity for mass consumption. A closer look at the way in which the Orient was represented in Western consumer societies reveals a number of images and stereotypes revolving around four major themes: exoticism, ethnography, eroticism, and history. From the late nineteenth century to our times, these images have greatly evolved, from rough clichés to more neutral visions. Nevertheless, the attraction exerted by the Orient on the greater public continues unabated, even in Turkey, where almost two centuries of Westernization has ended up creating the very particular phenomenon of "Oriental Orientalism".

2015New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In English. 200 p. The urban development of Istanbul in the Nineteenth century: The role of expropriations. After the proclamation of the Tanzîmât Edict, the government wanted to re-arrange the city. To this end, the Building and Expropriation Regulations that determined how modern city planning would be made as of 1840 were published. It was clearly stated that the government would base expropriations made to expand roads, allotment of burnt areas again, determination of construction rules, and opening the areas where reconstruction was not allowed to settlement,in essence all new urban development activities on these new laws. While expropriations were carried out, it was emphasized that, especially when for "public interest", the operation would be made with the consent of the landowner and after the preparation of maps. All of these can be said to be the reflections of modernity. This book examines the expropriation activities which were the most important tools for the government in the process of reconstruction implemented in Istanbul in the nineteenth century. It argues that the urban development which is at the intersection of centralization and modernization, and the concept of modern expropriation was a consequence of the change in the perspective and the understanding of the Ottoman government. Additionally, in the book, while the concept of modern expropriation is being evaluated in relation to the transformation in the governmental and legal mentality, the economic and social aspects of the expropriations are also emphasized. Other reconstruction processes occurring in other cities in the Ottoman Empire and other European cities which were taken as models in the reconstruction process of the capital city were investigated and documented here for the sake of approaching the expropriations from a comparative angle. This book aims to offer a holistic addition to literature on the urban history of Istanbul in the nineteenth century.
2015New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In English. 140 p. The construction of female citizenship through etiquette books: Turkey, 1930-1943. This book is an investigation into how the etiquette books of the early Republican period attempted to shape society in terms of class and gender issues. The analysis of the books, which are important tools to "civilize" society in both the public and private domains, is important because of their effects on the different dimensions of the period's discourse around citizenship. Through etiquette codes, the ideal citizen who would constitute the new privileged class of the Republic was to be constructed in accordance with the discourse of Westernization, but conspicuously adapted to local circumstances. Accordingly, not only the citizen's dress and deportment, but also the citizen's body and sexual life were to be completely renewed. On the other hand, while the books were defining the "acceptable" citizen, women were taken as an important measure of compliance. Thus, as the symbols of the new and modern life, women's appearance, manners, and all feminine pursuits became signifiers of the social status of modern Turkish men. Consequently, this book reveals that the class and gender dimensions of etiquette books are not independent of each other, but intersect and support one another.
