Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Art in the Arab World: Primary Documents offers an unprecedented resource for the study of modernism: a compendium of critical art writings by twentieth-century Arab intellectuals and artists. The selection of texts--many of which appear here for the first time in English--includes manifestos, essays, transcripts of roundtable discussions, diary entries, exhibition guest-book comments, letters, and more. Traversing empires and nation-states, diasporas and speculative cultural and political federations, these documents bring light to the formation of a global modernism, through debates on originality, public space, spiritualism and art, postcolonial exhibition politics, and Arab nationalism, among many other topics. The collection is framed chronologically, and includes contextualizing commentaries to assist readers in navigating its broad geographic and historical scope. Interspersed throughout the volume are sixteen contemporary essays: writings by scholars on key terms and events as well as personal reflections by modern artists who were themselves active in the histories under consideration. A newly commissioned essay by historian and Arab-studies scholar Ussama Makdisi provides a historical overview of the region's intertwined political and cultural developments during the twentieth century. Modern Art in the Arab World is an essential addition to the investigation of modernism and its global manifestations. Publication of the Museum of Modern Art Distributed by Duke University Press

Book excerpt: Every endeavour to review and write the history of contemporary art in Turkey calls upon the name of a pioneering, founding artist who marks a turning point, a moment of beginning: Altan Gürman (1935-1976). Altan Gürman’s oeuvre is brought to viewers for the first time in such an exhaustive capacity through one of the inaugural exhibitions at Arter’s new building in Dolapdere. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition, curated by Başak Doğa Temür, not only features almost all of Altan Gürman’s works included in the Arter Collection, but also presents to readers various documents, drawings, sketches, correspondences, photographs, class notes, slides, and meticulous arrangements from the artist’s archives, as well as his theses permeated with a new concept of art that would leave its imprint on the 1960s and 1970s. The book includes essays by Barış Acar, Selen Ansen, Ahu Antmen, Duygu Demir, Bora Gürdaş, Ali Kayaalp, İz Öztat and Nermin Saybaşılı which carefully reread Altan Gürman from an art historical perspective, address the artist’s impact and various stages of evolution, and open Gürman’s works to new encounters by approaching each one individually. Both the exhibition and the accompanying book pay a collective homage to a mind-opening artist who passed away at a young age.

Download or read book Turkey's Modernization written by Arnold Reisman and published by New Acdemia+ORM. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical study examines the lives of European Jews who found safe haven in Turkey and helped the nation transform in the years before WWII. Out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk formed the modern Republic of Turkey. As the nation’s founding father and first president, he initiated numerous progressive reforms. In 1933, he welcomed German and Austrian Jews who fled the rise of antisemitic violence in their homelands. In Turkey’ Modernization, historian Arnold Reisman chronicles the lives of some of these refugees as they pursued new lives in a new nation. Using archival documents, letters, memoirs, oral histories, photos, and other surviving evidence, Arnold Reisman sheds light on courage and determination of these individuals, as well as their important contributions in several fields of knowledge. With a clear-eyed analysis of Turkey’s achievements and shortcomings, Reisman also speculates about its inability to fully capitalize on these emigres’ legacy. “This book adds to our knowledge of an important aspect of the Holocaust, and of the behavior of Nation States in the modern world of woe and grief.” —Sir Martin Gilbert, Winston Churchill’s official biographer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning to travel to Istanbul and want to know what adventures will await you? Already been and want to know more? "Inside Out In Istanbul" is a collection of short stories about life in Istanbul by author Lisa Morrow. Lisa first went to Turkey in 1990, where she stayed in the small village of Göreme for three months during the Gulf War. Since that time she has travelled back and forth between Turkey and Australia many times, living and working in Istanbul and Kayseri in central Turkey, before finally settling for good in Istanbul. The stories in this collection take you beyond the world famous sights of Istanbul to the shores of Asia, to an Istanbul that is vibrantly alive with the sounds of street vendors, wedding parties, weekly markets and more. Come behind the tourist façades and venture deep into this sometimes chaotic, often schizophrenic but always charming city.

Download or read book Turkey's Democratization Process written by Carmen Rodriguez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the 1980 coup d’état Turkey has been in the midst of a complex process of democratization. Applying methodological pluralism in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of this process in a Turkish context, this book brings together contributions from prominent, Turkish, English, French, and Spanish scholars. Turkey’s Democratization Process utilises the theoretical framework of J.J. Linz and A.C. Stepan in order to assess the complex process of democratization in Turkey. This framework takes into account five interacting features of Turkey’s polity when making this assessment, namely: whether the underlying legal and socioeconomic conditions are conducive for the development of a free and participant society; if a relatively autonomous political society exists; whether there are legal guarantees for citizens’ freedoms; if there exists a state bureaucracy which can be used by a democratic government; and whether the type and pace of Turkish economic development contributes to this process. Examining the Turkish case in light of this framework, this book seeks to combine analyses that will help assess the process of democratization in Turkey to date and will be of interest to scholars and researchers interested in Turkish Politics, Democratization and Middle Eastern Studies more broadly.
