    Protecting contemporary cultural soundscapes as intangible cultural heritage: sounds of Istanbul
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) N/A; Yelmi, Pınar; PhD Student; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; N/A
    This paper aims to evaluate culture and traditions of everyday life from a sonic perspective and to suggest ways for protecting characteristic sounds and soundscapes. This multidisciplinary research, having roots in such fields as soundscape studies, intangible cultural heritage (ICH), museum studies and sensory studies, explores the larger contemporary cultural soundscape of Istanbul. This paper also draws on the project The Soundscape of Istanbul ( [GRAPHICS] ), which is archiving the contemporary elements of the cultural soundscape of Istanbul that were determined by public contribution, and outlines examples from this collection. Sounds constitute an inevitable part of daily life and are therefore very important as ICH. Thus, they deserve to be protected to strengthen cultural memory. However, sonic culture is twice endangered due to the physical characteristics of sound itself and the dynamic structure of intangible culture. Therefore, urgent protection of contemporary cultural soundscapes in the context of ICH is crucial for transferring the present sonic environments to following generations in order to maintain cultural identity.

    The proliferation of alternative film exhibition spaces in Istanbul: cultural segregation and urban cinephilia
    (Taylor & Francis, 2020) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    In the last decade, Istanbul witnessed the rapid proliferation of alternative film exhibition spaces such as museums, cafes, art and cultural centres in specific neighbourhoods. This increase is a result of mostly three forces: the monopoly of dominant distribution companies, authoritarian pressure of the government and urban transformation in Istanbul. These places provide space for censored films and are essentially important for independent and experimental films as well as documentaries and short films which have very limited or no theatrical release. On the other hand, their concentration in specific districts and that they target the audience with certain cultural capital is aggregate hierarchical clusters. Through analysing these alternative exhibition spaces in Istanbul, this study investigates the changing relationship between film exhibition, audience and the city. It discovers how urban transformation, authoritarian cultural policies and economic capital changed cinema-going and urban cinephilia in Istanbul. It suggests that while these alternative film exhibiton venues provide space for independent filmmakers, festivals and censored films, they also articulate to social hierarchy and cultural segregation.

    The emperor, the sultan and the scholar: the portrayal of the Ottomans in the dialogue with a Persian of Manuel II Palaiologos
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) N/A; Çelik, Siren; Researcher; (GABAM); Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; 338737
    This article will attempt to offer the first literary analysis of the Dialogue with a Persian of Manuel II Palaiologos. Despite its rich theological and literary material, this work has largely been neglected by scholars. However, the Dialogue deserves to be studied for its literary merit and not merely as a historical source. After a brief overview of the contents and background of the Dialogue, this study will focus on its literary features, especially on the vivid character portrayal of the Ottomans and the emperor himself.

    Mas'ud I of Ikonion the overlooked Victor of the twelfth-century Anatolian game of thrones
    (Slovansky Ustav Akad Ceske Republiky, 2018) Lau, Maximilian; N/A; Shliakhtin, Roman; Researcher; N/A; N/A
    This paper throws the spotlight on a ruler, Mas'ud I of Ikonion, who has previously only appeared as an antagonist, highlighting that this seemingly peripheral figure was in fact one of the most able political operators of twelfth-century Anatolia. The reason he has been overlooked in this way it simple: all contemporary and near-contemporary sources on Mas'ud come from his rivals, and the image they portray thus says more about the concerns of that author and people than about the individual himself: Analysing these portrayals will, therefore, not only allow us to better understand those rivals and their policies towards the Turks of Ikonion, but also to expose this overshadowed figure. What emerges is a ruler who successfully played more powerful rivals against each other, particularly in becoming an occasional client of both Byzantium and the Danishmendids, and who even when knocked down came back stronger. Mas'ud's success was such that it was his polity that entrenched the Turkish hold over Anatolia, and which would in turn lead to the emergence of the Ottomans themselves.
