With Gábor Fodor: « A Scientific Hub of Central Powers in the WWI’s Ottoman Capital: The Hungarian Science Institute in Constantinople »
Taking Istanbul as a starting point, this series focuses on the places, actors and encounters in which knowledge in the humanities (from archaeology, history and art history, to anthropology, sociology and geopolitics) is produced. The goal is to question how scholarship is made, questioned, re-made and reorganized through constant encounters in a number of places by actors forming networks resulting in intellectual connections. Like other centers in the wider MENA region, Istanbul as a research hub was a place of meeting, forming connections and a work space, hence the aim is to initially explore Istanbul as a locus articulating fieldwork and career opportunities, and its impact on knowledge production.
With the partnership of the Liszt Institute the Hungarian Cultural Center (hosts), the American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT), the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (Dainst), the Institut français d’études anatoliennes (IFEA), the Nederlands Instituut in Turkije (NIT), the Orient-Institut Istanbul, the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul (SRII).
