| HIST 191 Principles of Atatürk and the History of the Turkish Revolution I |
2 Credits |
|
HIST 191 provides a comprehensive academic
perspective on the history of the late Ottoman
Empire and the societies that lived there in the
past and present. HIST 191 is designed as
complementary to HIST 192 that follows-up the
content and timeline introduced in HIST 191
course, in a thematic order, by reflecting on major
milestones in the history of the Ottoman Empire
from the early 19th century up to the end of
World War I. Taking the history of the late
Ottoman Empire at its center, HIST 191 offers an
interdisciplinary approach by relying on other
disciplines including human history, political
science, economy, and sociology. Besides, the
content of HIST 191 is strongly related to the
content of TLL 101. The thematic structure and
the chronological framework of these separate
courses follow parallel trajectories. To that end,
the course provides a chance to relate the
historical content of HIST 191 to the literary
works that are studied in TLL 101. Finally, this
course aims to teach basics of academic literacy,
source criticism and fact-checking as integrated skills
whilst dealing with the content material.

HIST 192 provides an academic perspective
on the geography that we call the Turkish
Republic today and the historical relations
established among the human societies that
lived there in the past and present. HIST 192
is designed to be a follow-up of HIST 191 and
thus complements the content and timeline
previously introduced, in a thematic order, by
reflecting on major milestones in the history of
the Turkish Republic from World War I up to
the year 2020. With a focus on the history of
Modern Turkey at its center, HIST 192 offers
an interdisciplinary approach by relying on
other disciplines, social sciences, and
humanities, such as human history, political
science, economy, and sociology. Apart from
that, the content of HIST 192 is strongly
related with the content of TLL 102. The
thematic structure and the chronological
framework of these separate courses
compliment each other. To that end, the
course provides a chance to relate the

| HIST 205 History of the Twentieth Century |
3 Credits |
|
The first half of the 20th century witnessed catastrophic
destruction through world wars and genocides;
its third quarter, in contrast, became a period of
unprecedented stability and affluence; this,
however, gave way to yet another phase of
collapse and epochal change that
marked not only the end of the century but perhaps
also the end of the entire Modern
Era. This course proposes to look at all this
social and political tumult, as well as the accompanying
history of culture, ideas, art and science, through the
works and overlapping yet diverging
interpretations of some its major observers
and commentators.

| HIST 233 The Medieval Hero, East and West |
3 Credits |
|
Designed as an introduction to reading and analyzing epic
narratives, this course focuses on four such
key types of works re-introduced in writing during
the Middle Ages : the Shahnama,
the Oghuznama, the Alexander Romance,
and the Arthurian Legends. Introduced at the outset
will be the main themes and narrative tools employed
in the construction of epics; the common
features which make a “hero”; and the relevant historical
contexts. These will then be brought to bear on a close
examination of the works in question,
with the final case study of Alexander and the
Romances serving to explore the common aspects
of “Eastern” and “Western” epics and heroes.
The course will conclude with
a discussion of the afterlife of these epics.

3 Credits |

The course will begin with a quick survey of
history of science from Antiquity to the
present. It will then concentrate on the
main aim, which is to try to have a better
understanding of the emergence of the new
science in central and western Europe
following the Renaissance era. What are the
cultural and social factors which helped this
breakthrough, how did the results affect people's
lifestyles and political views, and why
did it take so many centuries for the scientific
method to penetrate the Ottoman realm? These
and other subjects will be discussed in a collective
manner, many items will be assigned to
students for deeper study, and new findings
will bring important contributions to our
understanding.

| HIST 332 Islamic History: the Middle Period (c.945 - 1500) |
3 Credits |
|
A continuing survey of Islamic history from around
the middle of the 10th century, comprising:
the deepening crisis of the Abbasid caliphate; mass
conversions to Islam among non-Arab peoples
(including the Karakhanids as well as the Volga Bulgars);
the triumph of the Seljukid war-leadership over the
Ghaznavids, and from 980 the overrunning of East Iran,
then Mesopotamia, and eventually Asia
Minor by this new Turkish warrior nobility. A first
external shock in the form of the Crusades. With
the breakup of the Greater Seljukids, the emergence of
a series of independent Seljukid successor sultanates in
Anatolia, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Kirman
and Iran; the triple division of the caliphate itself
(between the Abbasids in Baghdad, the Fatimids
in Egypt, and the Umayyads in Spain). A second external
shock of the Mongol conquest. Finally, the rise of the
Mamluks in Egypt, the Ottomans in northwest Anatolia and
Rumelia, and the Safavids in Iranian space.

3 Credits |
|
The course focuses on the so-called gunpowder
empires of the Islamic world of the early modern
era, i.e. the Ottoman Empire, Mughal India and Safavid
Iran. As part of a universal trend, it was this age
when much of the current territorial, confessional,
political, social and cultural boundaries dividing
the Islamic world were set up. The course consists of
three units. After an introduction, first it
focuses on the political history of these polities,
compares them with each other from various aspects,
including religion, administration, the military, economy,
trade, the role of and attitude to minorities, as well as
various facets of culture. Lastly it revisits these
issues by way of a critique of decline narratives related
to the Islamic World. It discusses Ottoman,
Safavid and Mughal history not only as comparative
but also as connected phenomena.

The course surveys the history of Central and

Central Asian republics, Kirgizstan, Kazakhstan,
Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as
Mongolia and Northwest China) from the
beginnings to the present, also including in the
discussion the East European steppe region
when appropriate. While it looks at this vast
geographical space as part of various imperial
configurations (the Hun, Türk, Kazar, Mongol, Timurid,
and Russian Empires, as well as the Muslim Caliphate
and the Soviet Union), it discusses local
historical processes and dynamics, addressing the
question of in what sense the region can be
considered a separate
historical-geographical entity.

| HIST 371 History of a City II : Ottoman Istanbul, 1450-1900 |
3 Credits |
|
Beginning with a baseline survey of conditions
prevailing shortly before the siege and eventual
capture of Constantinople by Mehmed
II in 1453, HIST 371, whether taken independently
or as a sequel to HIST 370, is designed to take students
from Ottoman Istanbul's initial re-building
and repopulation, through its 16th century efflorescence
as the capital of a new and resurgent empire,
as well as through the manifold transformations of
the 17th and 18th centuries, into the Tanzimat
onset of modernity. Historical backgrounding
lectures on these and other key phases or
developments will be complemented with other,
on site lectures in the course of study trips to leading
Ottoman locations and monuments.
For the possibility of proceeding from the ?taught course?
components of HIST 371 to primary
research at the advanced graduate level,
see HIST 571.

| HIST 424 Family, Childhood and Gender in European History |
3 Credits |
|
Historical and cultural studies have previously discounted
the history of the ''private life'', such that
takes place within the intimate sphere of home. In that
respect, women and children as individuals, and
family, as a social entity were kept out of research and
analysis for a long time. In the 1960s, however,
social history had a pioneering and remarkable role
as a major authority to change the status quo.
Gender, childhood, and family came to be considered
as significant sites of analysis and the consecutive decades
brought about the formation of them
into significant fields of inquiry.
History of family, history of childhood, and
gender history grew considerably in time
and the last three decades have produced discrete
historical studies that provide richly detailed
accounts on these issues.
Parallel with this trend, this course will specifically
focus on family, gender, and childhood in
Europe in order to provide an alternative
version of studying European history.

| HIST 434 Russian History I : Tsarist Russia (from the 17th Century to 1917) |
3 Credits |
|
This is a survey course on the general history
of Russia from its early beginnings with the Muscovite
state until World War I. It will begin with a general
discussion on the geographical characteristics
of Russia and the cultural peculiarities of the Russian
population. Here the emphasis will be on the Eurasian
dimension or character of the Russian lands. Strictly
historical lectures will begin with Muscovy over
1450-1598, and will continue into the ''Time of Troubles,''
leading to the rise of the Romanov dynasty.The next
issue will be the modernizing efforts of Peter
the Great, and the political and social effects
of these Petrine reforms (1682-1740). In the course
of reviewing the policies of ''enlightened reform'' pursued
by Catherine the Great (1762-1796), Russian expansionism
against Poland and the Ottoman empire, as well as
popular reactions such as the Pugachev Rebellion
(1773-1775) will also be taken into account.
Over the period between 1801-1855, the Napoleonic wars
(1805-1815) and their impact, autocratic conservatism,
and the Crimean War (1853-1856) will be highlighted.
For the second half of the 19th century, attention
fill focus on the emancipation of the serfs (1860),
other administrative reforms and economic development
accompanying expansion in Central Asia and Far East,
and the emergence of a revolutionary opposition. The
turbulent period of 1890-1914 will be discussed in terms
of rapid industrialization, general poverty and popular
unrest, defeat in the Russo-Japanese war and the subsequent
1905 revolution. The last weeks of the course will
be devoted to World War I and the coming of the
1917 February and October revolutions.

| HIST 439 Christians In The Ottoman Empire |
3 Credits |
|
This course offers to examine the history and condition
of Christians -- a majority of whom
were the Greek Orthodox people (Rum) --
in Anatolia and the Balkans under the Ottoman
Empire. From some basic concepts of non-
Muslim historiography (such as zımmi or millet),
the course will move to the various ways
in which historians have interpreted the Christian
presence under Ottoman rule. Byzantium as
a state was very closely associated with
Orthodox Christianity and the Greek language.
What did its demise mean for Orthodox
Christians and their institutions ? How did
Ottoman social, economic and administrative
structures absorb and influence Christians; in turn,
how did they participate in producing and
re-producing the imperial framework ? Special
attention will be paid to : communal life and
institutions, the place of Christians in Ottoman
administration and imperial networks, the
Phanariots, the rise of the Greek bourgeoisie,
the emergence of the Greek nation-state,
Greek education, and the contribution of Christians
to Ottoman urban space and
architecture.

| HIST 485 Minority Questions in Contemporary Turkey |
3 Credits |
|
First decolonization and then the end of the Cold War
have led to new waves of transnational movement. Mass
immigration and floods of refugees have given rise to
economic, social and cultural clashes, feeding into
fresh problems of ethno-religious otherization that
have come to haunt even the normally most stable and
tolerant democracies of Europe. Simultaneously,
Turkey's EU process is bringing into question a number of
minority issues that are the legacy of the transition
from the multi-ethnic Ottoman empire into Balkan, Caucasian
and Middle Eastern nation-states. What are these questions?
Which groups are involved? How can cultural, linguistic
and religious rights be applied to the relationship between
majority and minority groups at the national and
international levels? How can consciousness of ethnic,
religious or cultural diversity be fostered and promoted
as a common value? It is to such historical and
contemporary problems that SPS 485 is addressed. For the
possibility of taking this course at a graduate level,
subject to certain additional requirements, see HIST 585.

| HIST 489 From Empire to Republic : Turkish Nationalism and the Nation-State |
3 Credits |
|
A dense survey course on the making of Modern
Turkey with a special focus on the ideological
dimension of nation-building. Moves from
multiple backgrounds (in : the broad outlines of
Ottoman history; the ''long'' 19th century;
the New Imperialism; Eurocentrism and
Orientalism; racism and Social
Darwinism), through Ottoman-Turkish elites?
evolving love-and-hate relationship
with the West, to the fashioning and grounding
of a specifically Turkish (as against an Ottoman
or a Muslim) identity in the throes of the protracted
crisis of 1908-22. Makes considerable
use of literature, too, to explore the myths of
originism and authocthonism, as well
as the ''golden age'' narratives, connected
with both early and Kemalist varieties of Turkish
nationalism. Also see HIST 589 for the possibility
of being taken at the graduate level.
