Presentation of the seminar and programme

Speaker: İdil Üçbaşaran (Kapadokya Üniversitesi)

Building upon the interdisciplinary seminar « Cappadocia: Land of History and Cultures » held at the IFEA between 2011 and 2012, led by Anaïs Lamesa, Aude Aylin de Tapia, Lisa Deheurles-Montmayeur (introductory seminar: DOI: 10.60527/wjhr-z883), we aim to explore Cappadocian landscapes, this time focusing on a specific area: the Güzelyurt, Sivrihisar, and Akyamaç area (Aksaray region). Our objective is to initiate a dialogue across various disciplines, starting from this zone to deepen understanding of Cappadocian landscapes and highlight the multi-memorial layers to read of its history.

Each talk will last approximately 40 minutes, then public will engage with the presenters in a 15–20-minute dialogue.

This monthly seminar, conducted online, is co-organized by the French Institute of Anatolian Studies, Nevşehir Haci Bektaş Veli University, the Laboratory of Rhetorical Studies, and Kapadokya University. It will commence in November 2024 and consist of seven sessions. Presentations will be delivered in Turkish or English. Anaïs Lamesa (Edinburgh University and IFEA), Ayşe Budak (Nevşehir Haci Bektaş Veli University), Grégoire Sommer (Laboratory of Rhetorical Studies and IFEA), and Idil Üçbaşaran are the co-organizers of this seminar.
