An Ottoman Cultural Heritage in Yemen: Bekiriye Mosque

Sana’ çok eski bir şehir olmasına rağmen bu şehrin Eski Çağ tarihi bilinmemektedir. Miladi 530 senesinde Kral Ebrehe zamanında Habeş hâkimiyetine giren şehir, Yukarı Yemen’de önemli bir merkez haline gelmiştir. 570 senesinde Ebrehe’nin oğlu Masruk’un İranlı komutan Vahraz’a yenilmesiyle Sana’ İran hâkimiyetine geçmiş; uzun yıllar İranlı valiler tarafından idare edilmiştir. Şehir, 1174’de Eyyubiler’in, 1229’da Taiz Resulileri’nin, 1456’da Tahirîler’in ve 1507’de de Memluklular’ın eline geçmiştir. Osmanlı Padişahı Yavuz Sultan Selim’in, 1517 yılında Mısır’ı Memlûk Sultanlarının elinden alması ile Sana’ Osmanlı hâkimiyetine girmiş, ancak, şehir Kanuni Sultan Süleyman zamanında Özdemir Paşa tarafından 1546 yılında fiilen Osmanlı topraklarına katılmıştır. Şehir, sonraki yıllarda zaman zaman bazı imamların hâkimiyetine girmişse de, 1871 yılında Yemen Valiliği’ne tayin edilen Ahmed Muhtar Paşa tarafından yeniden denetim altına alınmıştır. Üç asır süren Osmanlı hâkimiyeti döneminde Sana’ şehrinde büyük imar hareketleri yapılmış; zaman içinde yeni yollar açılıp, yeni yerleşim merkezleri kurulmuş; kervansaraylar, konaklar, camiler, medreseler, kışla ve köprüler inşa edilmiştir. Bekiriye Camii de Osmanlı’nın Yemen’e ilk hâkim olduğu dönemde Sana’da inşa ettiği camiler arasındadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında bir XVI. yüzyıl yapısı olan Bekiriye Camii, bitişiğindeki türbe ve müştemilatının tarihçesi, mimari ve süsleme özellikleri ve sorunları incelenmiş; yapıların sorunlarının giderilmesi için acil ve uzun dönemli bakım ve onarım programları önerilmiştir

Neste material estão compiladas a tradução para o português do Manifesto por uma Etnografia de Retalhos e uma entrevista inédita realizada com duas de suas autoras, Chika Watanabe e Gökçe Günel. A entrevista aconteceu em julho de 2022, através da plataforma Zoom, e serviu para conhecer os dilemas e as perspectivas da proposta de etnografia defendida pelas pesquisadoras. O encontro também serviu para amparar e refinar o exercício de tradução que estava em andamento, permitindo o diálogo direto a respeito da abordagem de retalhos e a identificação das formas com que a proposta pode ecoar na academia brasileira.In this material are compiled the Manifesto for Patchwork Ethnography Portuguese translation and an unpublished interview with two of its authors, Chika Watanabe and Gökçe Günel. The interview took place in July 2022 through the Zoom platform and helped us to learn more about the dilemmas and perspectives of the ethnography proposal defended by the researchers. The meeting also served to support and improve the translation that was in progress, allowing direct dialogue about the patchwork approach and the identification of the ways in which the proposal could resonate in Brazilian academia

The Backbone: Construction of a Regional Electricity Grid in the Arabian Peninsula

This article studies the production of a power grid across six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, known as 'the backbone,' which has been conceptualized as an answer to power outages. First it analyzes how experts working with and around the GCC Interconnection Authority (GCCIA) advance claims to a regional territorial imagination. Second, it shows that the construction of the grid not only indicates a shift in the material arrangement of wires and sub-stations, but also necessitates new understandings of transparency and a new formula for the electricity price, facilitating the cutting of government subsidies along with additional price increases. Third, it interrogates how electricity is consumed in the region. Policy-makers expected that electricity price increases would lead to lower rates of consumption. Yet after price hikes were instituted, analysts reported how they had no impact. Users behaved in ways that the grid's engineers did not anticipate. Overall the article shows how various actors conduct 'boundary work,' that is, how they set limits between the political, the financial and the technical while producing the backbone. The article explores how this boundary work helps stabilize a particular sociotechnical imaginary of energy security in the GCC, masking anxieties associated with a future beyond oil.University of Arizona12 month embargo; published online: 20 Sep 2018This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

1924 Map of Ankara City: Recognizing Ankara with an Old Map

During the War of Independence, military officers of Department of Mapping coming from Istanbul prepared the scaled map of Ankara city. This map shows the city with its entire castle, surrounding settlements, districts, and the buildings. Topographically the map was prepared in 1/4000 scale in three-color with a title and legend. It also includes direction lines and scale sign. In this map, interpreting the city in its 1920s, the districts were shown in square scale, on which the water lines and fountains as well as the Muslim and Christian graveyards not-existent today were marked. In addition, the creeks of Ankara that are faded totally today and Hatip Stream, Çubuk Stream, and İncesu Creeks were shown in the map. Besides the religious buildings, also in this map are the newly opened settlements such as Darül-muallim, built during the reign of Abdulhamit II., Taş Mektep, Sanayi Mektep, Station buildings, The Grand National Assembly and Second National Assembly Buildings, and Ankara Palas. It is understood that in these areas there was development plan design. In 1917, in Ankara there was a huge fire incidence, which destructed the whole town up to the district on the western side of the castle and up to Yahudi district, called as Harik Mahalli at the map. This study intends to present this map, known as 1924 Ankara map for long years, thus fulfilling the duty for the city that we lived for long years

FCJ-215 Demoing unto Death: Smart Cities, Environment, and Preemptive Hope

Today, growing concerns with climate change, energy scarcity, security, and economic collapse have turned the focus of urban planners, investors, and governments towards infrastructure as a site of value production and potential salvation from a world consistently defined by catastrophes and crisis. This paper will interrogate the different forms of futurity and life that are currently emerging from this complex contemporary relationship between technology and design by engaging with two contemporary case studies of greenfield: 'smart' and 'green' developments in South Korea and Masdar in Abu Dhabi. In doing so, the paper will ask how these contemporary practices in ubiquitous computing and green technology are shaping large scale infrastructures and our imaginaries of the future of urban life.The Graham Foundation; Wenner Gren Foundation; ACLS FoundationOpen access journal.This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

Patchwork Ethnography

Many ethnographers feel the pressure to suspend familial and professional ties to separate “the field” from “home” for prolonged periods. Since 2019, we have been developing the concept of “patchwork ethnography” to spotlight how ethnographers conduct fieldwork amid intersecting personal and professional responsibilities. We interrogate how researchers’ personal lives impact the process of knowledge production, showcase the innovations that have stemmed from efforts to balance multiple commitments, and advocate for writing with rather than against the disruptions that might characterize anthropological research projects. As a discipline that centers reflexivity, anthropology provides the tools to rethink not only our discipline's research practices but also those of other social sciences. Drawing on the discipline's strengths, patchwork ethnography unlocks anthropology's potential to further expand what theory means and who can be considered a theorist
