DESCRIPTION:Sometimes framed as a vital inheritance\, sometimes as an objec
 t of nostalgia\, and still other times as a relic of backwardness\, the Ot
 toman past has long been an object of debate and contestation in 20th cent
 ury Turkey. In this talk\, "Scaling Heritage: Urban Governance and Struggl
 es Over the Ottoman Past in Istanbul\," Timur Hammond looks at one especia
 lly important moment in that debate: the district of Eyüp in the 1990s an
 d 2000s. Looking at the changing role of municipal governance\, Hammond bo
 th shows how these urban debates mirrored broader cultural fault lines and
  offers a more nuanced reading of the motivations behind municipal actors
 ’ conservation efforts.\n\nTimur Hammond is an associate professor in th
 e Department of Geography and the Environment at Syracuse University. A cu
 ltural and urban geographer\, he has published widely on topics including 
 Turkey’s July 2016 coup attempt\, the artist and scholar Ahmet Süheyl 
 Ünver\, and the geographies of translation. His first book\, Placing Isla
 m: Geographies of Connection in 20th Century Istanbul\, was published open
  access in 2023 by the University of California Press.\n\nThis event is pa
 rt of the Middle Eastern Cities in Conflict series organized by the Peace 
 and Conflcit Studies Program. It is cosponsored by the Middle Eastern and 
 Islamic Studies program\, the geography department\, and the architecture 
 concentration in art and art history.
