Öğe At the crossroads of accounting, finance and business history: the accounting books of Hafız Rusdu and Saim Brothers carpet trading house (1928)(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2022) Sevim, Tufan; Dağlı, MuratABSTRACT: As its title signifies, this thesis stands right at the intersection of accounting, finance, and business history. This study firstly investigates why and how DEB was adopted by the Ottoman state and merchants. The “accounting progress” phenomenon in the Ottoman Empire resembles a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces scattered all over, and sadly speaking, some pieces have still been missing. Solving the puzzle requires to touch on various fields ranging from tax history to commercial law. Therefore, the first two chapters of this thesis try to build an extensive historical background connecting the preparation phases of accounting mentality change to each other. To do so, at first, SEB and DEB was introduced, Ottoman state accounting practices prior to double entry were examined onwards. Afterwards the nineteenth century developments associated with accounting transformation such as educational modernization, incorporation to the world economic system, economic mentality change, and tax reforms were articulated. Even if setting up a fully-fledged historical frame by making great efforts, accounting history scholars inevitably hit the wall at the same dead end again and again due to the lack of primary sources. Herein lies the original contribution of this thesis to the current scholarship. As primary sources, the accounting books of Hafız Rüşdü and Saim Brothers Carpet Trading House tell a lot about the accounting practices and commercial activities of a medium-scale private enterprise. In the third chapter of this thesis, along with general outlook of Ottoman hand-knotted carpet industry between 1870s and 1920s, accounting implementations, business networks and traded merchandises of Hafız Rüşdü and Saim Brothers Carpet Trading House are treated.Öğe A biography of an Ottoman princess: Cemile Sultan (1843-1915)(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Çiçek, Özge; Faroqhi, SuraiyaABSTRACT: This thesis enables us to witness the life of Sultan Abdülmecid's daughter Cemile Sultan, who was born in 1843 until her death in 1915, as much as it was recorded. Cemile Sultan's life has been examined in various aspects such as her education, marriage, expenses, relationship networks, living spaces, and her existence in the business world. The object of this study is to provide witnessing on how Cemile Sultan, who was a member of the Ottoman dynasty, had concession through Haliç Dersaadet Vapurları, and how she used that concession. In addition, the aim of this thesis is to show that it is possible to create a narrative with another subject, instead of a biography narrative of the Sultan, which always comes up as the main subject when talking about Ottoman dynasty biographies. When it comes to dynasty, monographs or biography studies of the Sultan appear, and when it comes to the dynasty women, these studies are mostly about royal mothers (valide sultans). The lives of the sultans’ daughters (princesses) is a field left incomplete and ignored. There are, undoubtedly, completed and ongoing biography studies on this subject, and they will be mentioned when the occasion arises. However, this area still seems to be incomplete. In this study, the life of Cemile Sultan, who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries, was examined using mostly archival sources as well as primary and secondary sources, and a chronological biography narrative was preferred.Öğe Ali Suavi's understanding of civilization in the Ulum newspaper: a response to the western claims of civilizational superiority and idealization of an Islamic civilization(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Deniz, Numan; Gündoğdu, CihangirABSTRACT: Ali Suavi is among the most interesting figures in the late Ottoman intellectual history. In some earlier works, he has been portrayed as a secular Turkist, while in others, he was presented as an early Islamist responsible for the twentieth-century crises in the Middle East. His stance on parliamentary regime has been another problematic theme. Seen as a confused member of the Young Ottomans, Suavi has been accused of intellectual incapacity, who would otherwise not turn on the idea of constitutional government in his later writing. In this study, I attempt to reflect on such problems. In order to offer a new reading of Ali Suavi’s thought, I focus on his notion of civilization as part of a broader context that was shaped by the nineteenth-century Western imperialism and discourse of civilizational superiority. This way, his writings on Turkish history and language, his discussion of ideal government, or his critique of the West can gain new meanings, and this can help us make a better sense of his thought.Öğe The Ottoman Empire in 1908-1913 and Ottoman women as seen through the eyes of two journalists, Russian Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams and British Grace Ellison(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Aygün, Ekaterina; Balsoy, GülhanRussian women were rare guests in the Ottoman Empire, therefore they did not leave behind many records or observations. One of these few women was Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams, who for certain reasons decided to leave Russia and settle down with her husband in Istanbul for a while. Her valuable notes were published in “Old Turkey and the Young Turks. One year in Constantinople” (1916); this work provides an opportunity to plunge into the social and political life of the early 20th century Ottoman Empire as well as gives us information about Ottoman women. It is hard to escape a comparison between Ariadna Tyrkova’s work and British Grace Ellison’s “An English woman in a Turkish harem” (1915) as both of them were journalists, feminists, had connections with famous Turkish novelist Halide Edib Adıvar and stayed in the empire almost at the same time (Tyrkova-Williams – in 1911-1912, Ellison – in 1908 and 1913). One might jump to the conclusion that they had a lot in common but in the meantime, they looked at many things differently and chose different issues for press coverage. What exactly excited their minds and why? How they described Ottoman women? Were there more similarities or differences between them? Present study tries to answer these questions by analyzing and comparing above-mentioned works.Öğe The religious and political perception of a 15th century abd?l O?man baba according to his wal?yatn?ma(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Gürkan, Ayşe Begüm; FAROQHI, SURAIYAThis dissertation is about an antinomian abd?l O?man Baba, who made a name for himself and built a community in the 15th century Thrace and is based on his hagiography written by one of his followers, Küçük Abd?l. Addressing the question of how O?man Baba ascended to become such an influential community leader in the final three decades of his life, it sets forth a biography of him in the most extensive way. By reviewing O?man Baba’s interpretation of the significant Sufi concepts such as alal- N?r al-Muhammad?, unity of nubuwwat and wal?yat; Sufi concepts such as ta?arruf, ?a?l, na??b and Sufi themes like Wa?dat al-Wuj?d, ?Ana al-?a??, tan?su? and ?ul?l, this study deals with the belief and practices of the antinomian abd?ls. Due to Küçük Abd?l emphasizing ?acı Bektaş Vel? and ?arı ?al?u? in the wal?yatn?ma, it is argued that O?man Baba staked a claim on the Rumelian faction of the Bektaş? order. As for his political stance, modern historians interpret O?man Baba as a non-conformist community leader, who was against the Ottoman central authority. However, by claiming to be the spiritual father, protector, and murshid of Me?med II and also to be the true power behind his successes, he did not only gain prestige but also underlined his political conformity and support to the Ottoman State. In contrast to various historical records that define the antinomian dervishes with a harshly critical tone, methodologically, this dissertation is formulated by giving priority to the perception of a leader of one of these communities, O?man Baba’s self-presentation, and selfdefense.Öğe Revisiting an ottoman dynastic celebration princely weddings and circumcisions in Edirne,1675(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Torun, Muhammet Fatih; FAROQHI, SuraiyaThis thesis offers a contextual examination of the 1675 imperial festival which took place in Edirne (Adrianople) during the reign of Mehmed IV (r. 1648-1687). It intends to present a holistic approach to the festival, after the study of Özdemir Nutku in 1972. Distinctively, this study manifests the grounds of the Ottoman court’s affairs for a festival gargantuan in scale at the late seventeenth century, as well as show many unseen layers of the festival. For the first time in the field, it introduces the firework expenses of a state-sponsored festival, revealing previously unexamined phases of such pyrotechnics broadly. Each section of this work crosschecks textual narratives of the primary sources, including the most known as well as unfamiliar festival books, eyewitness diaries, and state annals, taking into consideration the context of the authors. In addition, this study investigates ignored dimensions of this event, such as the construction of time and space in the festival. Hence this thesis presents a renewal of the conventional narration regarding this princely festival.Öğe In Search of the Early Ottomans' Historical Consciousness Reading Saltukname as a conceptualization of the past(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Antalyalı, Zekeriya Efe; Dağlı, MuratThe legendary hagiography of Sarı Saltuk, Saltukname, has been discussed and analyzed by different scholars and from different point of views. Yet, these works are still far from going beyond the conventional understanding of the hagiography-studies. In these works, much of the attention continues to be devoted to tackling whether Sarı Saltuk was a fictitious character or a “historical” one. Add to this, the works operating within a strict positivist opus moderandi and aim to sip out the “historical facts” from the “mythic” and “ahistorical” narratives of Saltukname to supplement more “historical works” on the early Ottoman state with “reliable data”. Diverging from these conventional approaches, this work considers Saltukname as a conceptualization of the past by Turcoman inhabitants of Dobruca who had migrated there from central Anatolia around the late 13th century and who were well aware of their Anatolian past. As Ebu’l Hayr Rum-i, the compiler of Saltukname, pointed out, the events and the deeds of Sarı Saltuk were compiled from the narratives of dervishes and were written down following strictly their “history”. Last but not the least, this work juxtaposes “proper history works” –such as Yazıcızade Ali’s Tevârîh -i âl-i Selçuk and Ibni Bîbî’s El Evamirü’l-Ala’iyye Fi’l-Umuri’l-Ala’iyye—and Saltukname in order to point out where they diverge and converge in their narration of the same events. By comparing these texts, the work elucidates how a certain event had been re-shaped through the differences between oral and written tradition.Öğe The background of two modern authoritarian leaders’ rules by following their differences and similarities(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Köseoğlu, Kıvanç; Dağlı, MuratTurkey and Iran had a great transformation under two modern nationalist leaders, in the first half of the twentieth century. In this study, we will make evaluations about modern nationalist rules of Iran and Turkey, in which similar Western reforms were attempted to implement in the transition process from Empire to the Nation-State, led by Mustafa Kemal and Reza Khan. These evaluations will be also included structural problems they faced, the partnerships they built and the groups they struggled with, by consideration historical process, within an integrated and comprehensive textuality. Throughout the thesis, we will try to evaluate similarities and differences of two modernist leaders, with help of comparative analyses in terms of social, politic, and institutional. The Imperial past of the two countries, which had institutional, administrational and economic differences essentially, became district from each other especially with the nineteenth century. Mustafa Kemal and Reza Khan took over governments of the two countries which had rather different institutional structures and social dynamics. In addition to this, mentality differences between two leaders also gave clues about the differences which came out during their rules. In respect, even though they adopted quite similar policies in internal politics during 1930s, when two leaders liquidated the opposition movement in their countries and strengthened their authoritarian one-man regimes, the differences between their approaches in the field of international relations caused to different endings for their administration.Öğe Sa'dâbâd: The social production of an eighteenth-century palace and its surroundings(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2009) Schäfers, Eva-Marlene; Neumann, Christoph K.III. Ahmed'in 1722'de Kağıthane'de inşa edilen Sadâbâd'ı konu alan modern tarih yazınının ekseriyeti bu yazlık sarayı Lale devrinin açık bir mimari tezahürü kabul etmektedir. Buna göre Sadâbâd'a ilişkin iki temel önkabul bulunmaktadır: Evvela Sadâbâd, saray çevresinin tertiplediği ziyafetlerin başlıca mekânı olduğundan Osmanlı elitlerinin zevk ve sefahat düşkünlüğünün simgesi olarak değerlendirilir. İkinci olarak ise, Fransız Barok sarayları örnek alınarak inşa edildiği düşünüldüğünden, Sadâbâd, Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun Batılılaşma sürecinin miladı olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışma Sadâbâd'ı Lefebvre'in geliştirdiği toplum tarafından kurgulanan mekân (socially produced space) kavramı üzerinden ele alarak söz konusu yaklaşımlara karşı çıkmaktadır. Sarayın mimari özellikleriyle buna ilişkin kaynakların ve bu bölgedeki yerleşik yaşam alışkanlıklarının, Osmanlı arşivlerinden, vakayinamelerden, şiirlerden ve Avrupalılar tarafından kaleme alınmış seyahatnamelerden yola çıkarak gerçekleştirilecek çok katmanlı bir analizi söz konusu mekânın padişahın manen ve madden varlığının tecessümü olduğunu ortaya koyacaktır. İmparatorluğun tüm ihtişamının şenlikler vasıtasıyla sergilendiği bir sahne olarak Sadâbâd padişahın meşruiyetini vurgulayarak merkezden uzak güçler üzerindeki iktidarın pekiştirilmesine hizmet etmiştir. Bununla birlikte, mimari söylem analizinin gösterdiği üzere Sadâbâd yalnızca Avrupalı gözlemciler tarafından Fransız örneklerinin bir taklidi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Halbuki söz konusu dönemin Osmanlı kaynaklarında bu saray Türk-Fars kültür geleneğinin bir şahaseri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Üstelik, sarayı çevreleyen mesire yerleri, şehrin diğer bölgelerine nazaran toplumsal ve ahlaki baskıların daha az hissedildiği bir kamusal alan yaratmıştır. Sadâbâd'ın böyle bir mekânsal analizi bize, mimarinin tek başına verebileceğinden daha zengin bir anlayış kazandıracağı gibi erken on sekizinci yüzyıl Osmanlı dönüşümünü Osmanlının çöküş ve batılılaşma sürecine ilişkin önyargınlardan bağımsız bir biçimde değerlendirmemize de yardımcı olacaktır.Öğe Daughters of the stage: constructing the modern woman in the theater in the late Ottoman Empire and early Turkish Republic (1914-1935)(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Chastain, Saliha Elif Shannon; Balsoy, Gülhan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The comparison of the political institutionalizations between The Ottoman Empire at the reign of Sultan Süleiman the magnificent and The Mughal Empire at the reign of Akbar Shah(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2016) Şenvarcı, Hatice Seda; Faroqhi, Suraiya[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Production of olives, figs and other crops in Western Anatolia in the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2016) Güngör, Müzeyyen Pınar; Onaran, Başak Tuğ[Abstract Not Available]Öğe For queen and sultan Anglo-Ottoman advisors, soldiers, mercenaries and imperial agents in war and state (1853-1878)(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2016) Chastain, Joshua Shannon; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Gender and identity construction at the American College for Girls in İstanbul in late-Ottoman and early-Republican era(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2015) Özpala, Ayşe Özlem; Faroqhi, Suraiya[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The c. 1907 Ottoman census and the demography of Armenians in southern İstanbul(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2016) Ohanian, Daniel; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz and the German influence on the Ottoman army(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2013) Ardalı, Fehmi; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Formation of the modern Arab identity Muhammed Kurd Ali: A reformist thinker(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2015) Kekilli, Emrah; Kabadayı, Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Comparing urban occupational structures from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic with Imperial Russia to the USSR(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2015) Karaca, Uygar; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe 18th century relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Dubrovnik: 18th century Dubrovnik and the contemporary surrounding world(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2016) Arslan, Zeynep; Faroqhi, SuraiyaBu çalışma Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ve Dubrovnik Cumhuriyeti arasındaki ilişkilerin 18.yüzyıl boyunca nasıl seyrettiğini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Defterlerin incelenmesi sonucu elde edilen veriler geçmiş dönemlere dair mevcut bilgilerle bir bütün içerisinde ele alınarak iki devlet arasındaki ilişkilerin 18.yüzyıldaki seyri ortaya konulmuştur. Böylece söz konusu dönemdeki ilişkiler hem nitelik hem de nicelik bakımından incenlenmiştir.
