University of Rochester Course Description:
Intellectual History of Istanbul
Thursdays August 2nd-September 20th, 2:00pm
During a series of 8 lectures, we will trace the dominant representations of Istanbul, the “city
of two continents,” in historical and literary texts, in travel accounts, scholarship, cartography,
documentary, visual and cinematic art, photography, and music. Textual and visual analyses
will help examine the major cultural forces (from nationalism and secularism to Islam and
Sufism) that define Istanbul’s urban spaces. Key concepts such as Kemalism, Neo-Ottomanism,
nationalism, orientalism, Islam/Sufism, gender roles, and globalization will frame the
discussions. This course will offer insight into the controversy concerning urban politics and
city culture that continue to define debates in Turkey, Europe, and the Middle East today.
Dr. Sevinc Turkkan, received her PhD from University of Illinois in 2011. She is an Instructor
of modern Turkish literature and history at the UR at the Department of Religion and Classics.
She specializes in modern Turkish literature and culture, translation studies, and cross-cultural
comparative studies with research interests in multilingualism, Turkish-German & Turkish-
American literary relations, Anglophone literatures and postcolonial theory, and critical theory
(psychoanalysis & gender studies). Sevinc is also a practicing translator, working languages are
Turkish, German, and Bulgarian.
