    Sacred Spaces and Urban Networks
    (ANAMED, 2019) Uğurlu, Ayşe Hilal; Yalman, Suzan; Uğurlu, Ayşe Hilal
    With its history that goes back millennia, Anatolia is studded with sites from different eras that are deemed “sacred.” The collected essays in this volume present diachronic and synchronic studies of Anatolian sacred sites from the medieval period onward that situate them within various spatial, urban, and sociocultural dynamics. Each article explores unique case studies that illustrate the role of human agency in the creative process of transforming awe-inspiring sites into sacred spaces. Collectively, the volume reveals that the magnetic qualities of such destinations create a web of sanctity, as well as a complicated matrix of economic, political, and social relations. The scholarly contributions published here emerged from the 11th International ANAMED Annual symposium, entitled “Sacred Spaces + Urban Networks” and held at Istanbul’s Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) in December 2016. This symposium brought together prominent scholars in the field and former fellows of the research center, including the volume’s editors. While our initial goal was to explore different layers of sacredness in Anatolia, ultimately, the volume sheds light on parallels among case studies and presents the connectedness between these layers.

    The Role of ‘sacreds’ in the Political Agenda of the ‘reformist’ Ottoman Sultan Selim Iii (r. 1789-1807)
    (ANAMED, 2019) Ayşe Hilal Uğurlu; Yalman, Suzan; Ayşe Hilal Uğurlu
    Selim III was enthroned at a time when the central authority and image of the sultan was gradually weakening due to the Ottoman-Russian wars during most of the second half of the eighteenth century (1768-74, 1787-92) that emotionally and financially strained the empire. The number of military and political setbacks during his reign, brought about the questioning of both the extensive new order that was trying to be implimented as well as the legitimacy of the sultan himself. The escalating turmoil in the Arabian peninsula caused by the continued expansion of the Wahhabi-Saudi state after 1790’s, especially their disruption of the annual hajj and occupying Mecca in 1803, also effected Selim’s prestige as the defender of Islam and “the servant of the two noble sanctuaries” (hadim ul-haremeyn ül-şerifeyn) [Mecca&Medina]. This paper aims to examine the efforts of Selim III - who is commonly known with his reforms in areas such as the military, economy, trade, politics, and diplomacy- to counteract the weakening image of his religious leadership in the eyes of Istanbul residents through a case study of the reconstruction of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque.
