Occult Practices in Erdoğan’s Turkey, in Historical Context
The occult is enjoying a remarkable popularity in Erdoğan’s Turkey. Publications and web sites purveying astrology, amulets and talismans, fortune-telling, dream interpretation, and physiognomy are everywhere.

Islamic art and visualities of war from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic
This article explores how Islamic art was produced and used in Turkey within the context of modern warfare during World War I, the War of Independence, and the nascent Republic – a subject still relatively understudied in Turkish history, as well as in international cultural histories of modern warfare and histories of modern art in the Middle East. Drawing on previously overlooked visual and textual sources such as calligraphic panels, miniature…

Bu makalede İsl…
