1. Infrastructural Commemorations: The Ground-Breaking Ceremony of the Third Bosphorus Bridge and the Endless 'Conquest of Istanbul'

Abstract

The ground-breaking ceremony of Istanbul’s Third Bosphorus Bridge took place on 29th May 2013. The date chosen by the then Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to launch the construction of this urban mega-project transformed the inauguration into a commemoration of the 560th anniversary of the Ottoman Conquest of Istanbul by Fatih Sultan Mehmet. After explaining the significance of the 29th May 1453 commemorations in Turkey, in this article, we argue that the building of mega-infrastructures, such as the Third Bosphorus Bridge, has become the occasion for Erdoğan to (re)conquer the city of Istanbul, thus mirroring Fatih Sultan Mehmet more than five centuries ago. In the end, we argue that the “Conquest Festival” in Istanbul today is perhaps more than just a celebration of the 15th century Ottoman siege of the city, but instead a diverted way for the nation to commemorate - without necessarily ever acknowledging it openly - the ethnic and religious “purification” of Turkey during the 20th century.

Abstract

International audience; The ground-breaking ceremony of Istanbul’s Third Bosphorus Bridge took place on 29th May 2013. The date chosen by the then Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to launch the construction of this urban mega-project transformed the inauguration into a commemoration of the 560th anniversary of the Ottoman Conquest of Istanbul by Fatih Sultan Mehmet. After explaining the significance of the 29th May 1453 commemorations in Turkey, in this article, we argue that the building of mega-infrastructures, such as the Third Bosphorus Bridge, has become the occasion for Erdoğan to (re)conquer the city of Istanbul, thus mirroring Fatih Sultan Mehmet more than five centuries ago. In the end, we argue that the “Conquest Festival” in Istanbul today is perhaps more than just a celebration of the 15th century Ottoman siege of the city, but instead a diverted way for the nation to commemorate - without necessarily ever acknowledging it openly - the ethnic and religious “purification” of Turkey during the 20th century.; La cérémonie d’inauguration du troisième pont du Bosphore à Istanbul a eu lieu le 29 mai 2013. La date choisie par le Premier ministre de l’époque, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, pour lancer la construction de ce méga-projet urbain a transformé l’inauguration en une commémoration du 560e anniversaire de la conquête d’Istanbul par le sultan Ottoman Fatih Mehmet. Après avoir expliqué la signification des commémorations du 29 mai 1453 en Turquie, nous soutenons dans cet article que la construction de méga-infrastructures, comme le troisième pont du Bosphore, est devenue l’occasion pour Erdoğan de (re)conquérir la ville d’Istanbul, faisant ainsi pendant à Fatih Sultan Mehmet il y a plus de cinq siècles. Enfin, le « festival de la conquête » à Istanbul est aujourd’hui peut-être plus qu’une simple célébration du siège de la ville par les Ottomans au XVe siècle, mais plutôt une manière détournée pour la nation de commémorer - sans nécessairement le reconnaître ouvertement - la « purification » ethnique et religieuse de la Turquie au XXe siècle.

Abstract

International audience; Dams were once the material manifestation of progress that best expressed the power of the nation. Since 1923 Turkey has built more than 800 dams to regulate floods, provide water and produce electricity. These immobile and silent infrastructures have witnessed the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the birth of the Turkish nation and the global skirmishes of the Cold War. In Eastern Turkey's Munzur Valley --a contested space populated by Dersim's Alevi Kurds-- dams have been challenged and sometimes successfully stopped. The "Campaign to Save Munzur," in the end, reveals a broader shift in Turkey from "Red" to "Green" political activism.

Abstract

International audience; Dams around the world no longer seem to be part of the utopian dreams of nation-state building like a century ago. Instead they have become associated with the broken hopes of displaced people and the destruction of ecological habitats. In Eastern Turkey, this article asks what has changed since the building of the Keban Dam on the Upper Euphrates in the late 1960s?

Abstract

International audience; Archaeologists often come across ancient human burials during excavations. Less often, however, do human burials come across archaeological excavations. This happened though, at a site in southeastern Turkey a few years ago. When a funeral procession interrupted operations on the mound of Ziyaret Tepe, archaeologists confronted the dilemma of maintaining an excavation site as a scientific space in real-world contexts that are anything but sterile (void of contemporary meaning) or controlled (void of competing claims). The funeral event exposed the salience of the mound as both a sacred and scientific landmark, and brought to the fore numerous historical, political and cultural factors that rarely receive acknowledgement in the field or in publication. We outline these various influences on archaeological practice at Ziyaret Tepe, and use this unexpected funeral to advocate for a community archaeology that broadens the value of excavation by respecting a site’s valence as something other than a scientific space.

Abstract

International audience; Between 1968 and 1975, international and multidisciplinary rescue excavations were undertaken in Eastern Turkey before the construction of the Keban Dam. This article focuses on three specific visual techniques (the artifact typology, the trench shot, and the gridded map) found in the site reports of this salvage project, in order to analyze the way Archaeology visually defines its object(s) of study. While scientific excavations make discoveries of the past visible, their representations in the discipline’s final publications simultaneously conceal the human agents responsible for them. In other words, as tools of visualization foreground archaeological knowledge, the conditions of its production are concurrently sidelined. By relegating the messy process of “digging” to the background, Archaeology’s techniques of visualization allow its practitioners to see the past, and all of its objects, from a distant present located “nowhere.”

Abstract

International audience; It is important sometimes to break away from traditional methods of scientific and archaeological writing to consider the broader social implications of our research activities. This paper is an attempt to do so by considering not the ancient subjects of our investigations, but rather the living participants of communities in which we labour. In so doing, many of the details of usual concern—site names, dates and periods, precise locations, artefacts, footnotes, and scholarly references—are not particularly important. Rather, what is of significance in considering the ethics (and beyond) of doing fieldwork are the relationships that we forge within the contexts of our scientific teams, local communities, and the broader public. This paper will focus on the second of these three contexts, namely the local community in which we work.

Abstract

International audience; What do we mean by Archaeology's politics of vision? The scientific discipline gives us a way to understand and see the past in the present. It produces knowledge about ancient times and creates the material objects which stand for what we know about it. This chapter discusses two techniques, namely the site report and the museum, which facilitate the materialization of the past in order to reflect on the politics of archaeology in the context of a development and dam project in Southeastern Turkey. Site reports and museums, two specific practices that help us visualize the past, I argue, both have effects on 1. Knowledge: they produce scientific facts about the past; and 2. Power: they “intervene” (Abu El-Haj 2001 following Hacking 1983) in the wider social and political realms. Focusing on both science and politics, the paper, in the end, draws attention to the mechanisms behind the production of archaeology’s body of knowledge as well as the effects this body of knowledge and its material forms have in society.
