Akademik Veri Yönetim Sistemi
This course covers a survey of political,
social, economic, cultural aspects and architecture of the eighteenth century,
which provides a kaleidoscopic vision of the Ottoman way of life and material
culture in this initial era of Occidentalism. The course focuses on how the
Ottomans incorporated Western European cultural concepts and architectural
features into local traditions. The Occidentalizing tendencies, a
distinguishing characteristic of the century in the Ottoman world, are studied
in reference to European Orientalism and Exoticism. The course also discusses
the use of the term Baroque for the century and its implications. The course
includes a series of lectures by the instructor and student presentations. It is designed for architectural history
graduate students. Graduate students from other departments might be accepted
on the condition that they either study similar topics in their graduate program or
completed any art/architectural history survey course.
