Publication Metadata only We have become refugees in our own country': mobilising for refugees in Istanbul(Palgrave, 2018) Çelik, Semih; Researcher; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis chapter analyses the transformation of the map of two pro-refugee social movement organisations in Istanbul in that period, namely, the Migrant Solidarity Network and Mülteciyim Hemşerim! through an analysis of their frames, repertoires of action, organisational structures, and their composition. The research is based upon a dozen of in-depth interviews conducted with pro-refugee activists and ethnographically inspired participant observation. The chapter employs ‘refugeehood’ as a useful category to understand how the precarious political space in Turkey defined the outlook of the pro-refugee social movement map of the city, by transforming empathy towards refugees into identification with them.Publication Metadata only Coping with famines in Ottoman Anatolia (1650-1850)(Routledge, 2020) N/A; Çelik, Semih; Researcher; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis chapter attempts to stitch together that sporadic information to construct a longue duree analysis of famines that took place in Ottoman Anatolia for around two centuries defined by crises and reconfiguration. Pioneering studies have offered explanations for the late sixteenth-century political and demographic crisis in Ottoman Anatolia, focusing on the large-scale famines during the 1580–1630 period. Other studies on famines in the Ottoman Empire focus heavily on the later nineteenth century, a time when formal structures and policies of famine relief had been more firmly established by the Ottoman administrators. Historical famine studies seem, over a long period of continuing debates, to have come to an agreement that famines should be identified in connection to whether excessive deaths took place in a region or not. Bread prices in the pre-modern period show substantial short-term fluctuations due to frequent crises related to harvest conditions, transportation difficulties, wars and various other causes.Publication Open Access Koyunun olmadığı yerde keçiye Abdurrahman Çelebi derler: Ankara Eyaleti’nde Tiftik Keçisi ekonomisinin zaman-uzamsal analiz denemesi (1889-1905)(Vehbi Koç Ankara Studies Research Center (VEKAM) / Vehbi Koç Ankara Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (VEKAM), 2018) Department of History; Department of History; Çelik, Semih; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesPublication Open Access Sheep go to heaven, (Angora) goats go to hell: a spatio-temporal analysis of Angora Goat economy in the Province of Ankara (1889-1905)(Vehbi Koç Ankara Studies Research Center (VEKAM) / Vehbi Koç Ankara Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (VEKAM), 2018) Department of History; Department of History; Çelik, Semih; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
