{"product_id":"istanbul-acik-sehir","title":"Open City Istanbul","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUrban theory typically links modernity to the city, to the historical emergence of specific forms of subjectivity, and to the rise of significant developments in culture, art, and architecture. This is often seen as a result of technological, economic, and social transformations in the major metropolises of Europe and America during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In contrast, non-Western cities in the modern era are often viewed through the lens of Westernization and development. How should we understand urban modernity in these “other” cities?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIstanbul Open City aims to highlight cultural creativity by examining how Istanbulites define themselves while discussing, imagining, building, and consuming their city. Focusing on print media, photographs, films, architectural heritage exhibitions, and theme parks, the book explores the connections between these popular depictions through shared practices of representation. Türeli says this about her book, which offers a different perspective on urban modernity:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“This book is about defining and discussing the future of the city through the evocation of its past: Both past dreams and images, and future imaginings, are essentially interpretations of the present, produced in response to today's concerns, and can be used to understand the present. Starting from this premise, this study aims to examine the question of 'which past(s) of Istanbul are circulated and interpreted, and how?' through the visual representations of the city.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIstanbul Open City will appeal to urban researchers and historians, cultural researchers, art historians and anthropologists, as well as planners, architects, and artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40639158681795,"sku":"9786053162346","price":702.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/517MVT_xdcL.jpg?v=1631276445","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/istanbul-acik-sehir","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
