SUMMARY:[UCLA - The Promise Armenian Institute] Paging through Photos and Songs: Hayganush Mark and Koharig Ghazorian's Friendship in Post-Genocide Istanbul
DESCRIPTION:The Promise Institute for Human Rights and The Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA\, in partnership with the UCLA Armenian Music Program under the direction of Movses Pogossian\, present “Paging through Photos and Songs: Hayganush Mark and Koharig Ghazarosian’s Friendship in Post-Genocide Istanbul” by Dr. Melissa Bilal and Dr. Lerna Ekmekcioglu. This lecture is co-sponsored by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\, UCLA Armenian Law Students’ Association\, Armenian Museum of America\, Society for Armenian Studies\, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research. \nIn this event\, Dr. Lerna Ekmekcioglu (MIT) and Dr. Melissa Bilal (UCLA) will follow the story of a friendship between two Armenian women in Istanbul that endured the hardships of WWI\, the Armenian Genocide\, and early republican Turkey’s repressive minority politics. Hayganush Mark was the leading Armenian feminist writer of her time and Koharig Ghazarosian was a prominent composer\, concert pianist\, and piano teacher active in Paris and Istanbul. Their intertwined lives can be traced in photographs\, letters\, and pages of sheet music. Internationally acclaimed actress\, filmmaker\, and writer Nora Armani\, mezzo-soprano Danielle Segen of the Vem Ensemble\, and internationally renowned pianist Steven Vanhauwaert performed and recorded Ghazarosian’s song settings of Mark’s poetry to be premiered at this event. Through this repertoire which was brought back to life as a part of their ongoing project Feminism in Armenian: An Interpretive Anthology and Digital Archive\, Bilal and Ekmekcioglu will discuss the ruptures and continuities in Armenian community life in Turkey.

SUMMARY:[Northwestern Univ. Keyman Modern Turkish Studies Program] -- Interview: Marc David Baer on his book Sultanic Saviors and Tolerant Turks  Interviewed by Keyman Program Director İpek K. Yosmaoğlu
DESCRIPTION:Interviewed by Lerna Ekmekçioğlu. \nBook description: What compels Jews in the Ottoman Empire\, Turkey\, and abroad to promote a positive image of Ottomans and Turks while they deny the Armenian genocide and the existence of antisemitism in Turkey? Marc David Baer confronts these convictions and circumstances to reflect on what moral responsibility the descendants of the victims of one genocide have to the descendants of victims of another. By looking at the complexities of interreligious relations\, Holocaust denial\, genocide and ethnic cleansing\, and confronting some long-standing historical stereotypes\, Baer sets out to tell a new history that goes against Turkish antisemitism and admits to the Armenian genocide.NU individual event calendar link (with registration link) here.

SUMMARY:[OTS-NYU / NYU Kevorkian Center] Mid-Atlantic Ottomanist Workshop\, Keynote Lecture: Early Ottoman Translation and Transmission of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hüseyin Yılmaz\, George Mason University\nAbstract: This talk will explore the impact of translation on Ottoman language\, culture\, and politics. Most texts written in the first two centuries of Ottoman state formation in western Anatolia were works translated from either Arabic or Persian. This translation movement was the principal venue by which the Ottomans engaged with the broader world\, were exposed diverse traditions of learning\, and transmitted knowledge. Above all\, the Turkish language\, which gradually rose to become one of the principal literary mediums of the early modern world\, was a direct product of this translation activity. Translation and transmission of knowledge have a profound impact on the Ottoman view of the world and self-perception\, especially those works that became popular performative reads among broader public.\nZoom Registration here.

SUMMARY:[NYU Kevorkian Center] GLOBAL UPRISING: AFTERLIVES OF UPRISING II: BORDERS\, MOBILITY\, MOVEMENTS
DESCRIPTION:GLOBAL UPRISING: AFTERLIVES OF UPRISING II: BORDERS\, MOBILITY\, MOVEMENTS \nSpeakers: Aslı Iğsız (NYU)\, Leopold Lambert (The Funambulist)\, A. Naomi Paik (U-Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign)\, and discussant Paula Chakravartty (NYU)\nAbstract: If uprising is not a discrete event but a protracted temporality then how do we account for its various afterlives? For the ways it continues to exact an imprint or effect well after insurrectionary moments have passed?  In particular\, how do we factor things like the movement or displacement of people into our readings of uprising? Or\, in turn\, track the work of uprising in the political geographies of bordering\, encampment\, or sanctuary? Is there a way of reading migratory movement and its challenge to a waning border regime not just as the fallout but as the continuation of uprising? In other words not just as perceived but actual threats to established order. How\, for example\, can we read the Caravan of Hope or\, its parallel moment in the Great March of Return\, as not just the afterlife but the extension or re-formation of long-standing uprisings in Central America and Palestine respectively? What relation is there between what gets called “social movements” and the movement of people across borders? And in turn\, how much of today’s counter-mobilization of the right is itself animated by real cracks in racializing mobility regimes?\nZoom Registration here.

DESCRIPTION:Drawing on a multi-sited ethnography in Turkey\, Tanzania\, Senegal\, Gambia\, and Benin\, Dr. Guner shows how whiteness\, historically associated with Western modernity and state secularism in Turkey\, is redefined as the marker of Islamic civility in and through these transnational relations. Analysis of the construction of Muslim whiteness contributes to debates on intersectionality of race and religion in the context of the Middle East\, Africa\, and their transnational connections. \nNU individual event calendar link (with registration link) here.

SUMMARY:[Remembering and Coexisting in the Eastern Mediterranean] Thessaloniki Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Unspoken memories\, unwritten histories: \nEastern Mediterranean pluralism in oral history and memory studies \nA series of workshops devoted to theory and practice in academia and civil society \nLess than a hundred years ago\, most Eastern Mediterranean cities were marked by a high degree of cultural pluralism. Whereas the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of modern nation-states heralded its end\, some cities retained their cosmopolitan nature well until the Second World War. Oral histories and communicative memories of ethnoreligious groups that constituted vital parts of these cities are still living\, often wound up with unhealed and suppressed historical. At the same time\, simplified and nostalgic visions of a pluralist past are sometimes held up as role models for present-day Eastern Mediterranean societies without questioning\, or without regard for the challenges that they entail. Local academics and civil society organizations alike play vital roles in researching\, highlighting and supporting pluralism and pluralist heritage\, sometimes in defiance of nationalist historiographies and policies. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:[UIO - Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages] Turkish Kaleidoscope: Joining Art and Science
DESCRIPTION:A seminar with Professor Jenny White. \nIt is 1975 and Turkey is near civil war. Four medical students struggle on opposing sides in a society torn apart by violent political factions. Each has a different reason for joining the cause\, with consequences that follow them into the present. Turkish Kaleidoscope\, a graphic novel by Jenny White and the artist Ergün Gündüz\, asks what causes people to sacrifice their lives\, health and sometimes families for an autocratic leader and engage in violent acts. Inspired by oral history interviews and White’s own experiences as a student in Ankara in the 1970s\, the book does not give an ideological or event-driven analysis\, but rather shows that violent factionalism has an emotional and cultural logic that defies ideological explanations. White will talk about why she chose to write a graphic book and what we can learn from it about Turkey in the 1970s and beyond. \nMeeting Registration here.

SUMMARY:[Columbia Global Centers Istanbul] Ishtar Diaries Podcast Series (Episodes will be released bi-weekly)
DESCRIPTION:Ishtar Diaries is a podcast at the intersection of scholarly studies of the ancient world\, contemporary social and political conditions\, and the speakers’ personal experiences. It revolves around Ishtar\, an ancient Mesopotamian goddess\, and her diaries as inscribed on ancient Near Eastern material culture. Her diaries are in a state of continuous becoming. As we engage with it\, we will reshape it\, remember and forget some of its parts\, and add new memories to it. This material culture has not lost its relevance\, and in each epoch\, we have rediscovered them in new ways and redefined ourselves in them. These dense and accumulating narratives form biographies or diaries of our material past\, and it is these diaries that we aim to explore in this podcast. To rewrite the colonial narratives and simplistic interpretations forced onto this cultural heritage\, to contribute to their preservation\, and to demonstrate that ancient history and its material remnants are relevant and interesting even today beyond the realm of scholarly investigations are some of the aims of this podcast. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:[OTSA] Habits of the Market: Commercial Networks\, Regional Finance\, and Resistance in the Ottoman Tobacco Trade (c. 1858-1912) with Kaleb Herman Adney and Eyal Ginio
DESCRIPTION:Our W’OTSAp (What is up in Ottoman and Turkish Studies?) meeting in March features the winner of the 2020 Vangelis Kechriotis Memorial Travel Grant\, Kaleb Herman Adney (UCLA). Herman’s dissertation project\, Habits of the Market: Commercial Networks\, Regional Finance\, and Resistance in the Ottoman Tobacco Trade (c. 1858-1912)\, examines the political economy of tobacco in Western Thrace and Eastern Macedonia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During this time\, market dynamics provided investment and profit-making opportunities for commercial elites while simultaneously limiting the accessibility and potential benefits of these opportunities for burgeoning communities of merchants and cultivators. A number of legal and political mechanisms stimulated the commercialization of agriculture\, contributed to increased personal as well as imperial debt\, incentivized smuggling\, and shaped social relations amongst regional communities. These factors played a significant role in economic and political behavior and\, as such\, contributed to creating a culture in late Ottoman Thrace and Macedonia that was engineered for volatility\, especially in the forms of illegal commerce and political violence. On Wednesday\, March 17\, at 12 pm (EST\, 9 am PST\, 7 pm Istanbul) Herman will talk about his project and receive feedback from Eyal Ginio (Hebrew University of Jerusalem). Erdem Kabadayı (Koç University) will chair the session. You can register to attend this meeting via Zoom\, using this link.

SUMMARY:[University of Michigan Global Islamic Studies Center] IISS Lecture. The “Talisman of the World”: Mawlāna Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī and the Mongols in 13th-Century Seljuk Anatolia by Sara Nur Yildiz (Berlin)
DESCRIPTION:Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (d. 1274)\, the Sufi shaykh and poet celebrated for his mystical Mathnawi\, rose to prominence during a particularly turbulent period as Mongol rule was imposed upon Seljuk Anatolia. While partisan arguments abound in modern Turkish historiography whether he was a collaborator with the Mongol invaders or not\, Mawlana’s social and political role in Mongol-dominated Seljuk Konya remains obscure. By drawing on a variety of thirteenth and fourteenth century sources of a hagiographical\, religious and historical nature\, Mawlānā’s historical role and socio-political context are reevaluated: How did Mawlānā view the Mongol regime? What was his relationship with the Seljuk political elite and\, in particular\, with the Parwāna\, the Seljuk official and Mongol collaborator who usurped the Seljuk sultan’s power? Finally\, how are we to understand Mawlānā’s moral-religious charisma and spiritual capital as the protector of Konya and Rūm from the Mongols– the great talisman of the world\, as his hagiographer Aflākī portrays him? \nMore information about event here.
