The discussion focuses on the conservation status of the historic vegetable gardens (bostanlar in Turkish) in the area adjacent to the monument. The central concern is with the problematical situation, where the agricultural space and culture of the gardens are being denied heritage status, and are presently in the process of being destroyed. The immediate threat to the gardens comes from the forces of urban renewal projects that have been unleashed in Istanbul over the last two decades. It has been extremely difficult for various heritage experts and organizations to effectively challenge the commercial and political imperatives of urban regeneration. First, there is the issue of confronting an institutional and legal edifice with a singular commitment to urban renewal, characterized by an insensitivity to the complexities of urban sites. Furthermore, the core issue resides at the conceptual level, pertaining to the tension between an architectural and monumentalist approach to conservation, on the one hand, and an approach sensitive to cultural landscape, on the other. The fate of the bostanlar will depend upon some form of negotiation and reasonable accommodation between these two contrary perspectives.Öğe Storm over the state cultural institutions: new cultural policy direction in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Aksoy, Asu; Seyben, Burcu YaseminIn this article, we discuss the new cultural policy of the present AK Party government towards the State Theatre in Turkey. AK Party government has made clear its intention to terminate the status of state performing arts institutions as state-funded operations. We show that the new policy involves a re-thinking of the role of the state in cultural provision, and, furthermore, a re-thinking in the light of AK Party's conservative political principles. In looking at the example of theatre, we are concerned with the actual complexity of what the AK Party means and does with respect to this policy commitment which, in practice, does certainly not end to the state's direct involvement in culture. By closing the State Theatre and State Opera and Ballet directorates, the government intends to demobilize, or de-centre, the westernizing and secular cultural orientation that has characterized Turkey's official cultural identity until now.Öğe Öğe Öğe Transnational virtues and cool loyalties: Responses of Turkish-speaking migrants in London to September 11(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006) Aksoy, AsuThis article examines the responses of Turkish-speaking migrants in London to the events surrounding September 11. I argue that they have developed a 'transnational sensibility' which was rendered problematic when political leaders demanded loyalty to 'us' and opposition to 'them' A transnational sensibility defies the logics and loyalties of modern political systems. The limits of multicultural tolerance are reached: transnational identities and the transnational television channels that cater for this diverse Turkish-speaking audience were deemed threatening to social order. Facing this sense of displacement, the study shows how Turkish-speaking migrants were forced to think intensively about their situation. This process entailed active news consumption as migrants sought reliable information. But such varied consumption led to growing scepticism towards all media. The article concludes by considering the different modes of thinking available to migrants with a transnational sensibility, and argues that dialogue between dogmatic thinking based on experience and open, flexible thinking can enable migrants to reach a pragmatic, tactical approach to loyalty and identity.Öğe What Emerged in the Gezi Park Occupation in Istanbul?(Palgrave, 2017) Aksoy, Asu[Abstract Not Available]Öğe
