Istanbul holds a leading place among research areas of contemporary sociology and urban design. In the wide spectrum of research fields, ranging from archaeology to history, from art to literature, and from religious culture to daily life, the city provides answers to humanity's fundamental queries. Is this merely a coincidence or a mesh of problems in dire need of a resolution, stratified throughout history from the past to present? If our answer entails resolving this mesh of problems on the scale of Istanbul, then we can certainly call for a common denominator through which diverse opinions and approaches can counter with one another. The Annual of Istanbul Studies thus begins its publishing life to compensate for this need in terms of modern scientific thought.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Small 4to. (26 x 19 cm). In English and Turkish. 258 p., ills. Annual of Istanbul studies. No: 3 / 2014.= Istanbul arastirmalari yilligi. No: 3, 2014. The urban transformation project remains on the agenda, creating new debates every day. Istanbul's urban identity is at the center of these debates. As the clash between old and new takes on political significance, the fundamental problem finds expression in the cultural sphere. The crux of the matter is whether to keep intact Istanbul's identity as a historical city or to transform it into a synthetic identity that some claim includes the old. The truth is, no matter how complex the problem, we lack the knowledge about Istanbul as a historical city. This lack in turn causes lack of awareness. And an awareness configured in this way chooses not construction but destruction, which is the easier route under all circumstances. Annual of Istanbul Studies issues its third volume for the world of science and culture. This volume includes research papers that present us a strong point of view focusing on Istanbul's identity as a historical city. How will the Istanbul of the near future look? Have we developed the criteria for assessing and evaluating this urban landscape? These questions of vital importance will no doubt be addressed in our volumes to come. We would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that we will be happy to receive suggestions and contributions from scholars and intellectuals.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Small 4to. (26 x 19 cm). In English and Turkish. 286 p., ills. Annual of Istanbul studies. No.4 / 2015.= Istanbul arastirmalari yilligi. No.4, 2015. The urban history of Istanbul holds several important breaking points. Tanpinar, for example, makes the following assessment on the rupture that took place at the turn of the 20th century: "In the fifteen years between 1908 and 1923, [the city] has completely lost its former identity. The reforms instigated by the Constitutional Monarchy, three big wars, a series of fires of various magnitudes, financial crises, the dissolution of an empire, and, finally in 1923, the adoption of a civilization at the verge of which we stood scratching our heads for a century, have completely eradicated her former identity." This radical change was followed by the onset of rural to urban migration. Today, Istanbul is in a process of transformation in which she battles her own historic identity. Istanbul Research Institute is carefully following this process. The Institute maintains its focus on Istanbul's urban identity through a series of exhibitions, conferences, and books. The latest issue of Annual of Istanbul Studies thus includes exhaustive works on the historic identity of the city.

Edition originale de cet ouvrage publié par l'écrivain et poète Gil JOUANARD (1937-2021), livrant l'intime et poétique vision de "sa" Venise: "D'un revers de main, j'écarte les frondaisons architecturales pour m'enfoncer dans une jungle pluviale, dont chaque volute est aussi liane et tentacule, bras de méduse et chevelure de Pythie, Gorgone et Mélusine. [...] C'est le territoire du retour éternel aux origines de notre mémoire d'amphibien [...] Une légère secousse de la main de Neptune, un coup d'épaule sismique de Vulcain, et tout ceci retournerait au roseau, à la salicorne, à l'aster, aux volubilis et à l'euphorbe, sous l'oeil gourmand des foulques, des hérons, des martins-pêcheurs et des poules d'eau."; ornée de 16 dessins aquarellés de Jean-Christophe DONNADIEU; extraits du catalogue éditeur in fine.

This is a very good hardcover copy with just light wear. Completely clean inside and out. Text in English and Italian. Published on the occasion of Venice Biennale 53. The installation by Joseph Kosuth in June 2007, was inspired by the historic character of the island of San Lazzaro in the lagoon of Venice. On this island centuries ago a monastery was established and over time the library in this place became well known. This part of the island was a sanctuary for Armenians and became known as 'Little Armenia'. Joseph Kosuth's installation consists of a series of long inscriptions in yellow neon that extend across the whole surface of the church. The inscriptions are in Italian, English and Armenian. Illustrated with color photographs and one 5 panel gatefold that is tipped in at the end. Also black & white photographs documenting the installation in progress. 13" high X 11" wide, 102 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
