New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (31 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. [xxvi], 168 p., b/w and color ills. Constantinople, 1918.= Konstantiniyye, 1918. Introducttion by Ali Serim. In this book you will see a city, which was Capital to empires during its poorest days. Once there was greatness and glory as in the drawings of Melchior Lorichs. The Ottoman naval defeat at Lepanto in 1571 or for some other people the failure of the second siege of Vienna in 1683 was the beginning of the decline. The Empire was effectively ended by the World War I (WWI) and those concerned were not able to preserve the city in the appropriate form it deserved. I purchased the album containing these pictures a decade ago. It is understood that an mysterious French Officer who came to Constantinople during the occupation of the city by Allied Forces at the end of WWI in 1918. He took photographs of buildings and people capturing interesting scenes from social life documented the need for extensive restoration of the old city.

"Written in 1851-1869, Skarlatos Byzantios' three-volume masterpiece constitutes a feat of 19th c. scholarship, presented here for the first time in an annotated English translation. Drawing on Classical, Byzantine, Western European and Ottoman sources, Constantinople covers a vast period of over two and a half millennia, from the mythical foundation of Byzantium to Skarlatos' own time. A true polyglot and a keen observer, Skarlatos guides the reader through the neighbourhoods, monuments and social practices of his native city, assisted by detailed references to major historical events, personalities and long-forgotten anecdotes. His scholarly interests span across an impressive array of disciplines: political and social history, literature, architecture, epigraphy, urban planning, demography, ethnography, art and folklore. Above all, Skarlatos is a self-avowed devotee of the City of cities.". Contents: Foreword. Translator's Note. Dedication Page of the 1851 Edition. PREFACE.

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".

258 pages. "On the adbication of Nicholas II Russia's new rulers found themselves confronted by a host of problems, two of which were particularly urgent. What was to be the new government's relationship to its rival in power, the Petrograd Soviet, and what was to be its position on the war and on the aims for which Russia was fighting? To a large degree the answer to the first question depended on the Provisional Government's response to the second. This in turn depended on a third: how did the Tsar's successors conceive of Russia's role and place in Europe? Expressed in the terms of 1917, should the nation still struggle for Constantinople and the reassertion of Russian preponderance in the Balkans? Or should the Russian people fight now only in defense of the revolution and for the democratic principles it proclaimed?" - from Abstract.

The exhibition 'Coulisse: Hagop Ayvaz, A Chronicler of Theater' has been brought to life by the guidance of Hrant Dink Foundation with the collaboration of the Theatre Foundation of Turkey and Yapi Kredi Culture, Arts and Publishing with the support of the Chrest Foundation, Consulate General of the Kingdom of Netherlands, the French Embassy and Civil Rights Defenders will be open to visitors from 15th of December 2020 to 21st of February 2021. The exhibition will be welcoming visitors from 15th of December 2020 until 21st of February 2021 has been prepared by the guidance of Hrant Dink Foundation with the collaboration of the Theatre Foundation of Turkey and Yapi Kredi Culture, Arts and Publishing begins with the personal theatre archive of an Istanbulite theater player and publisher Hagop Ayvaz (1911-2006), to shed light on theater history of Turkey within the context of collective memory, identity and space. After the death of Hagop Ayvaz in 2006, the archive was donated to the Agos newspaper and then to Hrant Dink Foundation, composed of nearly 600 manuscripts and printed texts, over 500 periodicals, magazines and brochures in Armenian and Turkish languages, magazines and brochures, as well as about 12 thousand visual materials including photographs, posters, caricatures, clippings, invitations, drawings and postcards. In 2019, with the donation of some of the personal belongings of Ayvaz, the awards he has received, and a complete collection of the 1104 issues of "Kulis", the culture and arts magazine in Armenian language he has published from 1946 to 1996 to Hrant Dink Foundation, the archive was further completed. Over the years, Hrant Dink Foundation created a catalogue for the archive and digitalized it, and this online archive will be to researchers simultaneously with the opening of the "Coulisse: Hagop Ayvaz, A Chronicler of Theater" exhibition. Constituting the basis of the exhibition, the Hagop Ayvaz archive encompasses a wide range of original materials about theater players, companies and venues in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey remaining from the mid-19th century up until today. Hagop Ayvaz used the words "my paradise" to describe his study room composed of books, magazines, posters and photographs that he had collected since his youth; this tender metaphor also gives us hints about the possible links that can be established between his passion, namely theater, archives and collective memory. The exhibition offers a selection of the photographs, magazines, manuscripts and printed texts from the archive, divided into three main parts. The first part presents the theater production and activities in Istanbul in Armenian, in parallel to the lifetime of Hagop Ayvaz, a devotee of theater since his youth-from being a walker on to a director, from being a columnist to a publisher. The second part touchs upon the impact of the "Kulis" magazine within and outside of Turkey published by Ayvaz from 1946 to 1996, in line with the major artistic and political developments within this framework. The final section focuses various artists, companies, plays and venues which constituted the cornerstones of the theater history of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, inviting the visitors to explore the linkage between them all so as to rediscover the history of theater in Turkey. The catalogue which has the same name with the exhibition has also been prepared in both English and Turkish by Yapi Kredi Culture, Arts and Publishing, not only invites the visitors to the "coulisse" of Hagop Ayvaz's endeavors, but also allows the visitors to discover the theatre of history of Turkey from a pluralistic perspective. The exhibition reminds the visitors the place and importance of arts and culture in the culture of arts and culture in the culture of living together, the "coulisse" that was built up by devotion and sustained by commitment and solidarity.
