mahalle

Şöyle tekrar edeyim, bir kolektive olmak için değerleri paylaşmak lazım, değerleri paylaşmak için görmek lazım, kendi üstüne almak lazım. Mahallede bu çok gelişmiş olan bir yaklaşım tarzı. Niçin gelişmiş, mahallede çünkü ‘iyi, doğru güzel’ hakkında bazı değerler var. O da İslami değerler. Fakat aynı zamanda da o değerlerin nasıl kullanılacağına dair bir hal çaresi var. O hal çaresi nedir? ‘Göz’ün erkek ve kadın farklılıklarının üzerine tepkisi üzerinedir. Mahallede göz bundan dolayı çok önemlidir ve her ne kadar öğretmende de, ‘iyi, doğru ve güzel’in olmaması dolayısıyla ‘birtakım yeni şeyler geliyor’ diyorsak da mahalle bilhassa kadın ve erkek farklılıklaüzerinde değerlerini kondurduğu için, mahallede ‘göz’, ‘bakma’, ‘birbirine bakma’ bir kontrol şekli olarak çalışıyor. Bu Türkiye’de genel bir şeydir ve kadın-erkek farklılıklarından ileri geldiğindendir. Buna bir ilave getireyim. Şunu hatırlayalım, Türkiye’de bu işi yapan yalnız mahalleli değil, yani gözle kontrolü meydana getiren yer yalnız mahalle değildir. Benim görebildiğim kadar, Türkiye’de ‘herkes herkesi’ gözlüyordur.

Siz beni, ben de sizi gözetliyorum. Biz topluluğumuzu öyle yapıyoruz. Mahalle de öyle yapıyor ben de öyle yapıyorum. Bu eskiden bize intikal etmiş olan bir kolektivite kurma şekli: Göz.

PHILANTHROPY and PATRONS IN THE CITY: Toward a contemporary cultural policy

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

PHILANTHROPY and PATRONS IN THE CITY
Toward a contemporary cultural policy

Istabul - Turkey
January 2008

Curateur: Nora Seni

Organisers:
University Paris 8 (Paris)
Centre for Turkish and Ottoman Studies (EHESS, Paris)
Pera Museum (Istanbul)
French Institute of Anatolian Studies (Istanbul)
Bilgi University (Istanbul)



During the last decade, more than ten private museums were created in Turkey, most of them were dedicated to contemporary art with an international perspective such as Modern Istanbul and the Pera Museum. Its vibrant cultural scene leads Istanbul to become the European capital of Culture in 2010. Such museums are established by old Turkish families involved in philanthropic work, who had founded important universities and now continue to support art and culture. The form of their cooperation with civil society has been taking new orientations in the last few years. They have been contributing to cultural renewal by donating their art collections, founding museums and thus enhancing the regeneration of urban space. This conference will analyse their influence on the national cultural policies and on city’s revitalisation process.

The conference is the outcome of several workshops about Istanbul’s contemporary art scene. The discussions will inject new synergies to the preparations of the 2010 event It is a well known aspect of globalisation that cultural policies have today become instrumental in city planning. The conference will constitute an international forum which will provide an opportunity for the actors of this process to exchange their experiences and thus enable the philanthropic cultural institutions to develop a dialogue with the city planners

FUTURE - Culture and the City

Culture and the City

The importance of the European city for the process of European integration lies also in the cultural heritage it provides for future generations. On the basis of this strong backbone of identity, it will generate a place where economic, social and political changes can be collectively faced. Workshop and conference will develop scientific research on

Culture as a factor for urban regeneration areas
Culture as an industrial renewal strategy
Culture and the creation of an innovative milieu

The role of culture has been recognized by cities in order to boost economic development by subsidies to cultural events and investment in cultural buildings. In which way can culture provide a sustainable urban development in ways that attract visitors and enterprise and at the same time enhance citizens identity and everyday life and how should the sustainability be optimised? With regard to cultural urban regeneration strategies the question of a cultural infrastructure for all citizens has to be placed on the social coherence debate, as well.

CRESC Annual Conference - Culture and Citizenship

CRESC Annual Conference - Culture and Citizenship
3-5 September, 2008
St Hugh’s College, Oxford

Call for Papers

Citizenship and Culture represent two of the most central concepts in contemporary social thought and, over the last decade, the relationships between them have been highly contested. Debates on citizenship have shifted from a focus on democracy, political rights and responsibilities and questions of belonging to a concern with culture, both formally and informally inscribed. The focus of citizenship historically tended more toward universalistic issues, with the realm of culture assigned to the particular, and to questions of difference and meaning. The interconnections between these approaches have become of growing academic interest on the one hand, as well as being of crucial significance in the political realm on the other. Thus claims for citizenship rights are increasingly required to consider the more culturally defined questions of identity, gender, sexuality, race, that are typically the concern of the new social and political movements. At the same time the issues of emancipation, responsibility and freedom remain key questions for debates concerning citizenship and culture.

This conference seeks to explore the inter-relationships between citizenship and culture and their contemporary social, cultural and political significance in a number of different contexts. The themes proposed for the conference are as follows:

*Cultural Diversity/After Multiculturalism
*Cities and Citizenship
*The Politics of Citizenship
*Liberal government and the citizen: histories and trajectories
*Arts and cultural policies and citizenship
*Cultures of collecting and citizenship
*Science, technology and citizenship
*Europe and the citizen
*The relationships between religious and secular conceptions of citizenship
*Culture, citizenship and transnationalism
*The media and citizenship
*Post-colonialism and Citizenship
*Sexual Citizenship

Keynote speakers to date include: Mieke Bal (University of Amsterdam), Engin Isin (Open University), Nina Glick Schiller (University of Manchester, Ghassan Hage (University of Melbourne), Mary Poovey (New York University), Nick Stevenson (University of Nottingham)

Tek Kalıplı/Kutuplu Dönüştürülmeye Mahkum Gözüken Müstakbel Bir Avrupa Kültür Başkenti’nin Kültürünün Dikkate Alınmamış Yanları, Jean Francois Perouse
1) Kültür ve Şehir
Kültür kavramının tanımlanması, her ne kadar gerekli ve yararlı olsa da, çok kolay yapılabilecek bir şey değildir. Kültürü, (gerek ekonomik, gerek kültürel, gerekse sosyal sermayemiz tarafından belirlenen) bulunduğumuz pozisyona göre, çok farklı bir şekilde tanımlayabiliriz. Halbuki, kısıtlı ve zorlayıcı bir kültür tanımına hapsedilmek tehlikelidir. Biz burada, resmi, tescilli, kurumsallaştırılmış ve kendisini “Kültür” olarak takdim eden/pazarlayan kültürden ziyade, gündelik kültür pratikleri, ifadeleri veya şekillerinden bahsetmeyi tercih ederiz. ....

since we're on the who's cultural heritage issue, why not talk about sulukule a gypsy/roman neighborhood that existed by the land walls in historical peninsula for the last 1000 years, now being gentrified from that area through urban regeneration projects.

Remembering the forgotten

evren'in yazdıkları .....

-----------------------------------------------------

Evren, senin blog'una yazdıklarınla "whose heritage" sorunsalının farklı bir açısına değiniyoruz sanırım. (Üzgünüm ama birden Türkçe yazasım geldi.) Bu da aslında benim "interpretation" diye açıkladığım konu kapsamında ele alınabilir sanırım. Benim yazdıklarım mirasın algılanışı idi "remembrance". Forgeting ise mirasın korunma sorunsalının bir parçası. Bazılarımız kızabilir Orhan Pamuk örneği vermeme ama Orhan Pamuk İstanbul Anıları kitabında İstanbul'un yerle bir edilmesi nedenlerinden biri olarak halkın bir daha ulaşamayacağı zenginliği gözönünden silmek istemesi diye açıklamıştı. Unutmak istiyoruz bu doğru belki de. Görmezden gelince "unutmaya çalışınca" belki de yaşanmamış, hiç elde etmediğimiz bir zenginlik olacaktı. O zaman bugün içinde yaşadığımız buhran kat-i kaderimiz olacaktı. Unutacaktık ve üzüntü çekmeyecektik hatıralar silinince. Çünkü hiç sahip olmamıştık belki de. Ama izleri silmek bu kadar kolay mı.

Hatırlama ve unutmayı da gene interpretation'a bağlayabiliriz. İnsanlara unutturan ve hatırlatan değerler neler. Bu seçimi yapmada etkin olan değerler. O zaman mirasın tanımının doğal seleksiyona uğraması doğru mu? Seninkini unutmak, benimkini hatırlamak. Sen kimsin, ben kimim. Benim mirasım seninkini neden dövüyor.

Ortak Miras, evrensel miras kavramının ortaya atıldığı Granada Sözleşmesi, UNESCO ve ICOMOS sözleşmelerine imza atan ülkelerin diğer toplumların miraslarını yıkması da unutmanın bir parçası. Gözardı edilen ve sorgulanmayan bir gerçek. Yunanistan'ın Osmanlı yapılarını tek tek yıkması, Suudi Arabistan'da Ecyad kalesinin yerine 5-yıldızlı bir otel yapılması, Bosna-Hersek'de Mostar Köprüsü'nün yerle bir edilmesi.. Hepsi bir bütünün parçası... Bir de hatırlatılmaya çalışılan değerler var.. Mesela UNESCO neden Fener-Balat projesini destekliyor ya da neden Ayasofya'yı dünya miras listesine alıyor. Bizim hayrımıza olmasa gerek...

Biz de Rumelihisarı'na cami yapıyoruz ama Hasankeyf'te baraj projesini durduramıyoruz...

Kimin mirası? Kim belirliyor miras olma kriterlerini? Ve kim için?

Dossier 1: What is cultural heritage and whose cultural heritage is it?

Lacunatic experiments are starting with questioning the meaning and the content of cultural heritage. Because it is the first entry, perhaps it is better to ask questions at first to enlighten the discussion.

The first questions in my mind are:

What is cultural heritage?
What is the reason behind bringing up the concept of cultural heritage?
What makes a “commodity” cultural heritage?
Whose cultural heritage is it?
Is it really our “common heritage”?
Who defines cultural heritage?
Who decides on why to conserve cultural heritage?
Who decides on which cultural heritage to conserve?
What are the factors under different definitions of cultural heritage?
What are the implications of those different interpretations?

Dictionary definition of heritage is
Property that is or can be inherited; an inheritance.
Something that is passed down from preceding generations; a tradition.
The status acquired by a person through birth; a birthright: a heritage of affluence and social position. (The American Heritage Dictionary)

Today’s world – globalization, political economy, internalization..etc - necessitates different readings of life, thus cultural heritage is only one of them. It is subject to profound change. Thirty years ago we were talking about “cultural assets”, “conservation areas”, “listed properties”. Today we are talking about “heritage”, “common heritage”. Not only the terms have changed, but also their contents have changed.

While we were able to bring forward concrete definitions and bounded actions thirty years ago, today we have an elusive arena of definitions and actions bounded to those elusive definitions. It was easy then. The conservation laws have been stating for instance that we must conserve the sites, buildings, monuments and surroundings older than 19th century. However, there is no such criterion for cultural heritage today. The definition is subject to different interpretations, varying according to the political, economic and religious interests as in the embracement of European common heritage to build an identity of European Union.

The first formal definition of cultural heritage was clarified by ‘The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage’ in 1972 (UNESCO 1972). According to the Convention (UNESCO 1972, para.12), cultural heritage is defined as

“monuments, building groups and sites that have historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological and anthropological values”.

Graham (2002, p.1006) states that “heritage is as much about forgetting as remembering the past”. Different than registered historic assets by conservation reforms, heritage is part of the past which we select to put whether economic, cultural or social values. Through the late 20th century, cultural heritage has gained a new meaning that it is not only an object or image, but a living evidence of past and an expression of the ways of living. This selective definition does not create a medium for collective emancipation (Griffiths 2006), but the meaning it consolidates brings different interpretations. According to Orbasli (2000) heritage is an interpretation of history by a wide range of users. The interpretation can occur because of religious pressures, political insights or scientific exploration.

First of all, there is a rise of the presentation of cultural heritage as part of a ‘nationalist iconography’ (Griffiths 2006, Lowenthal 1991 cited in Larkham 1999) and an opportunity to build cultural identity (Council of Europe 1975) majorly based on religious interests (Kongar 2006). Heritage links with 19th century emergence of concepts of nationalism and identity according to Lowenthal (1991, cited in Larkham 1999, p.115). Isn’t it the same with the rise of common heritage ideology in the European Union? Or isn’t it the same with the launch of a Turkish identity after the collapse of Ottoman Empire? In Republican Era, the goal was to create a nation of Turkish people, a Turkish identity beyond religious definitions. Now after the election of the religion-driven conservative party, Turkey is again on the crossroads of a return to religious identities.

Second way of interpretation is the presentation of cultural heritage as a commodity to be traded, packaged and marketed. That is, heritage is the idiom of consumption and it is managed to encourage consumption. As Larkham (1996) mentions this management reduces heritage to a chosen interpretation relation of history and its physical remains as a marketing tool, a specifically selected and packaged product such as Jane Austen’s City of Bath or Bronte’s Country. Urban administers need resources, thus, cultural heritage is put ‘on sale’ as if there is anything else to sell. Furthermore, artificial symbols are being created ignoring the natural cultural resources (Harvey 1989, Zukin 1995) under the understanding of culture-led regeneration. That is the creation of ‘symbols’ for selling cities as a result for responding rapidly changing socio-economic conditions of the new economical order in the way to gain a competitive advantage (Griffiths 2006).

This demands not only technical concern, but more political and economic concern.
