The aim of this conference, entitled "A year later. Understanding Israel's revenge wars in Palestine and Lebanon", is to look back at the Israeli revenge wars in Palestine and Lebanon that followed the October 7th massacres. Accusations of genocide are being examined by the International Court of Justice to qualify the situation in the Palestinian enclave. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon took a new turn after the Tsahal offensive at the end of September. In order to understand these wars and their consequences on the region's political players and societies, as well as the different scenarios that could be envisaged in the wake of the American presidential election, two specialists will be speaking on the subject:
Daniel Meier, Assistant Professor, Sciences Po Grenoble and Erhan Keleşoğlu, Editorial Director, Toplumsal Tarih, Tarih Vakfı.

Le Sharafnāma est une chronique des dynasties kurdes, composée en persan par Sharaf Khān Bidlīsī (m. c. 1600), gouverneur kurde de la principauté de Bidlīs, et achevée en 1597. Il s’agit d’un texte fondateur de l’historiographie kurde, le seul offrant une vue d’ensemble à la fois diachronique et synchronique des émirats kurdes à l’époque de la première modernité. Au-delà de son sujet même, ce texte se démarque des chroniques dynastiques traditionnelles par le parcours de son auteur, commandant kurde élevé en Iran safavide avant de se rallier aux Ottomans à l’âge de 35 ans, dans le contexte des débuts de la Troisième guerre ottomano-safavide (1578-1590).

Si l’héritage safavide est prépondérant dans les sources et le style du Sharafnāma, l’ouvrage est néanmoins dédié au sultan ottoman Meḥmed III (r. 1595-1603) et de nombreux passages font état d’une ambiguïté confessionnelle et politique de la part de l’auteur, phénomène représentatif de l’attitude des émirs kurdes de la frontière aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. À la tête de l’émirat kurde le plus riche et puissant et se voulant le représentant de ses pairs, Sharaf Khān est également porteur d’une vision de l’identité et de la société kurdes qui mérite d’être étudiée et c’est à l’aune de ces différents aspects que je présenterai le Sharafnāma dans le cadre de cette communication.

Doğaötesi ve öteki dünyaya dair on sekizinci yüzyıl sonu ve on dokuzuncu yüzyıl ortalarında geliştirilmiş sözde bilimsel doktrinler olan manyetizmacılık ve ispiritizmacılık Osmanlı toplumuna 1850'lerde İstanbul ve İzmir üzerinden hızla girmiş, Levanten, Avrupalı ve yerli gayrimüslim cemaatlerin üyelerinin oluşturduğu kozmopolit çevrelerde yayılmış, bu doktrinlerle yine aynı çevrelerin içinde bulunan üst düzey bürokrasi mensubu birtakım Müslüman Osmanlılar da haşır neşir olmuştur. 1860'lardan 1910'lara manyetizmacılık ve ispiritizmacılık üzerine pek çok çeviri kitap ve makale yayımlanmış, 1908 sonrasında bu yayınlar hem doktorlar hem de ulema mensupları tarafından sertçe eleştirilmiştir. Psikolojinin özerk ve meşru bir bilimsel disiplin olarak henüz Avrupa'da bile inşa sürecinde olduğu bu yıllarda, hipnoz ve manyetizmacılık üzerine kaleme alınan metinlerin imparatorluk seçkinlerinin bir bölümü üzerinde dünyevileştirici bir etkisi olduğu söylenebilir. 

Özgür Türesay’ın Osmanlı’da Ruh Çağırma isimli kitabı 2024’te Fol Kitap tarafından basılmıştır.

Le magnétisme et le spiritisme, doctrines pseudo-scientifiques du surnaturel et de l'autre monde développées à la fin du XVIIIe siècle et au milieu du XIXe siècle, ont rapidement pénétré la société ottomane dans les années 1850 via Istanbul et Izmir, se propageant dans les cercles cosmopolites composés de membres des communautés non musulmanes levantines, européennes et locales. Des années 1860 aux années 1910, de nombreux livres et articles traduits sur le magnétisme et le spiritisme ont été publiés. Après 1908, ces publications ont été sévèrement critiquées par des médecins et des membres de l'ouléma. Dans ces années-là, alors que la psychologie était encore en train de s'établir comme une discipline scientifique autonome et légitime, même en Europe, on peut dire que les textes sur l'hypnose et le magnétisme ont eu un effet laïcisant sur une partie de l'élite impériale.

Le livre d'Özgür Türesay intitulé Spirit Summoning in the Ottoman Empire a été publié par les éditions Fol Kitap en 2024.

The interactions between humans and the rocky substrate have generated engraved landscapes across the globe, manifesting in diverse forms and spanning various epochs. The past human activity of digging rock outcrops produced different features, among which two macro-categories stand out:

– rock-cut spaces linked to human life and death;

– quarries for extracting materials for different purposes.

Although these two categories serve different functions, there are conceptual and physical links between the structures carved into the bedrock and quarry areas. Similarities can be identified in the techniques employed for rock carving and, consequently, in the networks for the transmission of knowledge and know-how. Quarries and rock-cut structures often coexist within the same rock formation, or overlap with one another, creating a complex landscape in which the interaction between human communities and the bedrock is enhanced.

Over the past decade, an international group of researchers has engaged in discussions regarding the methodological and theoretical complexities of investigating stone quarries and rock-cut sites spanning from Prehistory to the present day. The International ReseArch group on quArries and Rock-cut sites (IRAAR), started as a collaborative effort, originating in France, from two distinct research groups: one working on quarries and construction (Séminaires de recherche Carrières et construction, Laboratoire de Médiévistique Occidentale de Paris, Sorbonne Universités, UPMC Université Paris 06) and the other on rock-cut sites (Annual symposium organized in Saint-Martin-le Vieil, Aude).

This conference marks the second gathering of the IRAAR network. The first meeting, held online in 2021, focused on techniques and methods for analyzing carvings, extraction processes and traces of tools left on the rock surfaces. In this second event, the theme broadens to encompass a more extensive exploration of the landscapes and environments surrounding rock-cut structures and stone quarries. The specific discussion in this field of research begins with questions of an archaeological nature but expands to transdisciplinary encounters with connections and hybridisations with anthropology, sociology, geography, geology and ecology.

Istanbul Bilgi University is proudly hosting Loic Wacquant in collaboration with Galatasaray University and IFEA for an illuminating conference that will be accompanied by a book signing event for his recently published books by Istanbul Bilgi University Publishing. 

Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of fields of cultural production and Reinhart Koselleck’s conceptual history, I recount the tale of the academic, journalistic and policy myth of the “underclass” in the American metropolis. I use this case study to suggest rules for the construction and evaluation of concepts in social science.

Loïc Wacquant is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and associate researcher at the Centre européen de sociologie et de science politique de la Sorbonne (CESSP-Paris).

Programme

The International Conference on Post-Disaster Reconstruction aims to shed light on post-earthquake reconstruction, focusing specifically on the city of Antakya/Hatay. This conference convenes academics in the field alongside international organizations like UNESCO, ICOMOS, UNDP, and the World Bank.

Through various case studies from different parts of the world, this scientific event will address the issue of reconstruction in a multidisciplinary framework, combining a technical dimension (seismology, geophysics, civil engineering, geology, earth sciences) and a social sciences perspective (architecture, sociology, anthropology, art history, archaeology, history, geography, economics, political science).This conference is organized by Gülçin Erdi (CNRS, IFEA) and Mehmet Tayfur (ENSAS, IFEA). 

The conference, which will take place on May 20-21, 2024 at Galatasaray University (with a hybrid format) is supported by IFEA, CITERES - Université de Tours, Galatasaray University -Toplumsal Araştırmalar Merkezi (TAM), Hungarian Cultural Centre-Istanbul, Swedish research institute istanbul, Netherlands Institute in Turkey.

The use of plaster reliefs (stuccoes) as architectural decoration is a well-known phenomenon in the Mediterranean. Recent decades have witnessed a renewed interest in stucco, but it has been mainly done within the boundaries of specific disciplines and chronological specialisations. While this allowed scholars to recognise the relationship of stucco with specific architectural traditions and technologies, it did not allow to spot long-term trends and cross-cultural interactions. This is due to the lack of coordination of scholarship on the study of stucco, which appears to develop at different speeds and aim at different goals depending on the field of study. 

The conference connects experts in the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods up to ca 1200 CE to address common questions that can help to see long-term phenomena and cross-cultural exchanges in the Mediterranean.
