Defining alevism: the management of religion in Turkey, secularism and the diyanet
No full textDiyanet, uzun süre akademik ve siyasi çevrelerce Türkiye’de laikliğin istisna bir kurumu, yeterince sekülerleşememiş olmamızın bir göstergesi olarak görüldü. Oysa bugün, özellikle antropoloji disiplini içinden, din ve sekülerliği birbirine zıt ve kesin sınırlarla ayrılmış olarak anlayan bu yaklaşıma eleştiriler getirilmekte ve bir ulus devlet pratiği olarak sekülerliğin kendini din alanıyla ilişki içinde kurduğu vurgulanmaktadır (Asad, 2003). Bu açıdan baktığımızda, farklı örnekler için seküler devletin elini din alanından çekmediğini, aksine din alanını yönettiğini (Turner, 2013) ve (modern anlamda) din alanında kurucu bir rol oynadığını görüyoruz (Asad, 2003). Daha önce, Bryan Turner’ın ‘dinin yönetimi’ (management of religion) kavramına referansla, Diyanet’in Cumhuriyet tarihi boyunca, din alanının ve sekülerliğin şekillenmesinde ve yönetiminde temel kurumlardan biri olduğunu vurgulamıştık (Turner ve Zengin Arslan, 2013). Bu makale ise, ‘dinin yönetimi’ kavramı yardımıyla, devletin Alevilik konusuna yaklaşımını analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Cumhuriyet rejiminin Aleviliği seküler kimlik içinde eriterek tanıdığını, bu anlamda Aleviliği yok saydığını; AKP iktidarı döneminde ise, AB süreciyle birlikte devletin ‘Alevi açılımı’na yöneldiğini; ancak bu süreçte iktidarın Aleviliği tanımak değil, kendi bakış açısından, Alevilere rağmen tanımlamaya yöneldiğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu tanımlamanın, Sünni İslam’ın din anlayışı üzerinden, Sünni İslam’a referansla ve Diyanet’in himayesinde yazılı kültüre geçirilme gibi bir dizi yönetim stratejisi ile gerçekleştirildiğini göstermektedir.The Diyanet has long been considered as an exceptional institution of Turkish secularism and evidence showing that secularism in Turkey is indeed flawed. However, recently, the scholars of the anthropology of secularism have criticized this approach,
which understands religion and secularism as oppositional, and segregated with clear boundaries. The critics have argued that secularism as a practice of the nation-state has built itself in relation to the field of religion (Asad, 2003). Looking from this perspective,
we observe that for various examples, the secular state does not withdraw from the religious domain; rather, it manages the field of religion (Turner, 2013) and constructs it in a modern sense (Asad, 2003). Previously, in reference to Bryan S. Turner’s concept
of ‘management of religion,’ we had argued that throughout the history of Republic the Diyanet has been one of the major institutions that shaped and managed the field of religion and secularism in Turkey (Turner and Zengin Arslan, 2013). In this article, I analyze the state’s approach to Alevism in reference to the concept of ‘management of religion.’ This article suggests that the Republican regime recognized Alevism by dissolving it into a secular identity. In this sense it did not indeed recognize Alevis with their religious identities. During the Justice and Development Party period, the ‘Alevi
opening’ process was initiated as a part of the EU integration process. However, the article argues, in this process the government had an approach of defining Alevism from its own perspective, rather than recognizing them in their own terms. The state
wanted to define Alevism through and in reference to Sunni İslam, and by utilizing a series of strategies of governmentality, such as producing a written Alevi culture with the leadership of the Diyanet.Publisher versio

The species is named in memory of Şevket Polatdemir (1940-1997), Prof. Dr. Naime Arslan's father, an outstanding person. Description. Body length 7.5–11 mm, diameter c. 0.4 mm, in clitellar region c. 0.5 mm (0.32–0.38 mm at V, 0.41–0.58 mm at XII, 0.42–0.49 mm at XX, N=10). Segment number 40–55 (N=10). Chaetae 2 or 3 per bundle, rarely more (6 in 1 bundle of 1 specimen, Fig. 2A, segment VIL), occasionally 1 or 0; at XII absent ventrally, present laterally, 2 per bundle. Chaetal formula 2,3 – 2,3: 2,3 – 2,3. Lateral preclitellar bundles: 2 and 3 irregularly alternating, some specimens with mostly 2, others with mostly 3 chaetae, or intermediate states. Ventral preclitellar bundles: mostly 3 chaetae, 2 chaetae near clitellum (X, XI). Lateral and ventral postclitellar bundles: 2 in segments following clitellum, caudad increasingly 3. Chaetae straight with ental hook, ectally pointed: 80–110 µm long, 6–7 µm wide, smallest at II, XII and XIII (length 70–90 µm, diameter 3.5–5 µm). Caudal chaetae not or only slightly enlarged. Epidermal gland cells not seen. Brain c. 1.5x as long as wide, rounded posteriorly, sides slightly merging anteriad. Oesophageal appendages a pair of blind-ending tubes in III/IV, c. 140 µm long and 40 µm wide, with common root inserting dorsally in III behind pharyngeal pad, tubes curved, not meandering, not branched, not tapering towards blind end. Pharyngeal glands in IV–VI, of equal size, with dorsal and ventral lobes, connected dorsally in IV, connected or separate dorsally in V, VI. Nephridial anteseptale with funnel only, postseptale bulged, efferent duct short, no terminal vesicle; present at 6/7–9/10 (4 preclitellar pairs) and in postclitellar segments. Dorsal blood vessel from XIII, XIV, (XV), often conspicuous (Fig. 3B). Anterior bifurcation near prostomium. Coelomocytes flattened, 3x as long as wide, c. 20–30 µm long, oval or narrowed at one end, texture not ascertained. Clitellum in XII–XIII, hyalocytes and granulocytes from level of septum 11/12 to level of chaetae XIII. Anteriorly and posteriorly a variously extending sleeve of hyaline border cells (Fig. 2A,E: cb). Clitellum welldeveloped dorsally and laterally, height c. 30 µm, cell diameter c. 15 µm, hyalocytes and granulocytes arranged in reticulate fashion, mostly interrupted mid-ventrally, continuous at posterior border; area without clitellum widest at level of male pores, including the exterior lips (Fig. 2E: ml); exclusively granulocytes at ventro-lateral borders and dorsally of the male exterior lips. Testes and sperm funnels in XI, ovaries, vasa deferentia, male pores and glands in XII. Seminal vesicle unpaired, in X–XI. Mature spermatozoa aligned on top of sperm funnel; length of sperm heads not measured. Sperm funnel c. 5x as long as wide, variable in shape due to soft tissue of glandular funnel body. Collar about as wide as funnel body. Vasa deferentia occasionally extending into posterior segments (XIII: 2 specimens; XIV: 1 specimen; XV: 1 specimen; N=38), but mostly confined to XII in a dense irregular coil that fills almost the entire segment; wider entally near sperm funnel (Fig. 3C: en) than ectally near male pore (Fig. 3C: ec), ciliated throughout, ectally passing ventrad between inner face of body wall and primary male glandular bulb en route to male pore. Male glands multiple: one large rounded primary bulb near male pore, and ca. 9 smaller secondary papillae medially, arranged roughly in a semicircle around male pore and primary bulb (Figs 2D, 3C,D). Male pores opening each into a bursa, a lateral invagination of the body wall that is covered by a lip-like fold (bursal fold) directed mediad (Fig. 2E: ml). Spermathecae with ectal duct, ampulla, no diverticula, separate openings into esophagus. Ectal pores at 4/5, slightly below lateral lines, not widened. Ectal duct slightly longer than wide (80–85 µm by 55–80 µm), covered completely with glands, canal widening entad, lined with cuticle; ampulla spherical, diameter c. 120–150 µm, wider than ectal duct, with distinct, smooth walls, lumen completely filled with masses of spermatozoa; ental duct short, connecting laterally with esophagus. Remarks. Enchytraeus polatdemiri sp. nov. belongs to the Enchytraeus albidus group as circumscribed in Schmelz & Collado (2010). This group of species is distinguished within the genus by comparatively large body size (length> 10mm, up to 30 mm), high segment number (>40, usually>50), short and tube-like oesophageal appendages, and a large and well-developed male reproductive system that, apart from a male glandular ("penial") bulb, often includes a number of smaller accessory glands around the male pores. Furthermore, several species, among them the common and widespread Enchytraeus albidus Henle, 1837, have more than 3 chaetae per bundle, elongate longitudinal body folds ventrally in the clitellar region that enclose the male pores, and vasa deferentia that extend beyond the clitellar region into posterior segments. Species of this mainly holarctic group live in the marine upper littoral, in brackish water, and in organically enriched habitats such as compost heaps. Apart from E. albidus it currently includes E. capitatus von Bülow, 1957, E. kincaidi Eisen, 1904, E. mediterraneus Michaelsen, 1926, E. multiannulatus Altman, 1936, and E. multiannulatoides Altman, 1936, together with a number of junior synonyms. Within this group, E. polatdemiri sp. nov. is distinguished by the following combination of characters: (1) Comparatively small body size, (2) each specimen with bundles of two and three chaetae in varying arrangement, (3) vasa deferentia usually not extending beyond clitellum, and if so, only 1–2 segments, (4) spermathecal ectal duct completely glandular, (5) spermathecal ampulla spherical, wider than ectal duct, without diverticula. Further possibly distinguishing characters refer presently to E. albidus only, because they are still unkown in the other species: (6) clitellum ventrally almost absent, with a peculiar distribution of granular cells (Fig. 2E), (7) absence of a genital field, and (8) bursal folds not elongate. Among the six above-mentioned species of the E. albidus -group, only E. albidus has spermathecae that, at least in some specimens, are similar to those in E. polatdemiri sp. nov.: ectal duct completely glandular, ampulla spherical, no diverticulum (comp. Nielsen & Christensen 1959, Fig. 97). In the remaining five species, spermathecal ectal glands are absent or reduced to a crown around the ectal pore, and/or one or two diverticula are present. E. albidus differs in several characters from E. polatdemiri sp. nov.: more than 3 chaetae per bundle (up to 6 ventrally), bursal folds elongate, genital field present, vasa deferentia extending beyond clitellum (Schmelz & Collado 2010). Furthermore, specimens are usually much larger and up to 3 cm long. However, the species is highly variable and the evaluation of taxonomic characters is not straightforward. To give examples: Spermathecae are reported that include forms that are common for the other species (Nielsen & Christensen 1959). For example, all specimens of E. albidus sequenced in this study had a spermatheca with a large, asymmetrical dorsal diverticulum and an incomplete glandular coverage of the ectal duct (comp. Nielsen & Christensen 1959: 96). It is also unknown whether the posterior extension of the vas deferens applies to all specimens without exception; in addition, some specimens of the new species share this character state. Furthermore, E. sabulosus Southern, 1906, tentatively included in E. albidus by Nielsen and Christensen (1959), has also a maximum of 3 chaetae per bundle and a body size (10–15 mm when alive) comparable to that of the new species. Finally, there is molecular evidence that E. albidus consists of more than one species (Erséus & Gustafsson 2009). On this background of taxonomic uncertainty is was advantageous to have a second dataset, i.e. molecular evidence, to evaluate the taxonomic status of the Lake Van population. Molecular analysis. The individual gene trees of COI and H3, as well as the combined phylogenetic analysis of both tree, recovered Enchytraeus polatdemiri as a monophyletic group within the genus Enchytraeus, with the highest support (pp = 1) (Fig. 4). In the concatenated tree, E. polatdemiri forms a well-supported sister group to the clade comprising all E. albidus specimens (Fig. 4C), whereas in the individual gene trees, relationships between E. polatdemiri sp. nov., E. albidus, E. japonensis (only COI), and E. bulbosus are poorly resolved (Fig. 4A,B). The maximum uncorrected p-distance between the specimens of Enchytraeus polatdemiri sp. nov. was 1.0 % for the COI gene, while H3 sequences were identical in this group (Tables 3 and 4). Average p-distances for COI between Enchytraeus polatdemiri sp. nov. and the other congeneric species included in the analysis ranged from 14.5 % with E. albidus (excluding the specimen from Denmark) to 19.5 % with E. japonensis (Table 3). Average H3 distances were substantially lower, ranging from 5.4 % with E. albidus to 10.5 % with E. bulbosus (Table 4). A potential barcode gap was found for COI pairwise genetic distances between 5 % and 11 % (Fig. 5). ABGD’s initial partition delineated seven MOTUs, which are those indicated in Table 3. H3 pairwise distances did not show a clear barcode gap.Published as part of Arslan, Naime, Timm, Tarmo, Rojo, Verónica, Vizcaíno, Antón & Schmelz, Rüdiger M., 2018, A new species of Enchytraeus (Enchytraeidae, Oligochaeta) from the profundal of Lake Van, the world's largest soda Lake (Turkey, East Anatolia), pp. 367-380 in Zootaxa 4382 (2) on pages 372-375, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4382.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/118214
La Basilicata di Wart Arslan (1928-1930). Intorno a una missione artistica nella ‘più negletta tra le regioni d’Italia’
No full textNel 1928, aprendo la sua Relazione intorno a una compiuta missione artistica in Basilicata, svolta dal giugno del 1927 e per «due mesi e mezzo» con il supporto della neonata Società Magna Grecia, Wart Arslan ebbe modo di introdurre il lettore a quella che comunemente veniva considerata la «più negletta tra le regioni d’Italia». Acerenza, Albano di Lucania, Cancellara, Capitignano, Castelluccio Inferiore, Grassano, Grottole, Lagonegro, Latronico, Lauria Inferiore, Lauria Superiore, Maratea, Matera, Melfi, Miglionico, Moliterno, Monticchio, Muro Lucano, Palazzo San Gervasio, Pierno, Potenza, Rionero, Rivello, San Fele, Tricarico e Venosa (fig. 1), sono i centri che Arslan scelse di visitare provando ad applicare la lente delle metodologie acquisite durante il suo alunnato romano presso la scuola di specializzazione in storia dell’arte fondata da Adolfo Venturi. Egli ne riportò l’impressione, invero scoraggiante, di un’area che, a suo dire, «accanto alla Puglia e persino alla Calabria» restava «povera artisticamente in tutta la estensione del termine», con questo facendo propria una convinzione diffusa di cui già Mario Salmi, nel 1919, si era fatto portatore in riferimento al vicino quadrante apulo scrivendo, questa volta dalle pagine de «L’Arte», rivista di storia dell'arte medievale e moderna diretta dallo stesso Venturi, di «un luogo veramente elevato per la sua produzione architettonica» ma, purtroppo, dotato di una scultura di «esclusivo valore decorativo», per giunta accompagnata da «manifestazioni pittoriche di secondario interesse».
Sono passati cent’anni dalle impressioni in chiaroscuro di Salmi sulla Puglia e circa novanta dalla pubblicazione del saggio di Arslan sulla Basilicata. In particolare, il ruolo nel 2019 di Matera capitale europea della cultura rende difficile entrare appieno nella dimensione di un genius loci appunto ora agli antipodi dall’idea di negletto di cui sopra, che però già Giovanni Pascoli, nel 1882, avvertiva come «Affrica» e che ha continuato a risultare scomodo per le classi intellettuali del Novecento sino a tempi relativamente recenti. Al netto di un presunto «accertato squallore» responsabile di aver «dissuaso gli studiosi dalla ricerca di quel poco che vi potesse essere di buono», esiste, infatti, ancora un’insondabile discrepanza tra lo scenario appena descritto e alcune delle punte qualitative comunque evidenziate da Arslan: dalla «pittura bizantina» delle «oltre sessanta grotte che si trovano nei dintorno di Matera», alla pinacoteca dell’Ente Morale Camillo d’Errico di Palazzo San Gervasio, a non grande distanza da Potenza. In effetti, si tratta di elementi in un certo qual modo assimilabili ai volti contadini «scavati nel diamante e nel carbone» che poi caparbiamente avrebbe cercato e, soprattutto, narrato Pier Paolo Pasolini. Tasselli di una realtà distante da ritenersi talmente «un’altra cosa» (per adoperare le parole di chi come Carlo Levi lì vi finì al confino nel 1935), da diventare addirittura oggetto di analisi antropologica e sociale
Arslan Tash 2007
No full textIl sito di Arslan Tash, oggetto della missione preliminare di rilievo topografico avvenuto nell'ottobre 2007, si trova nel nord della Siria, a circa 10 Km a sud del confine Turco e a 20 Km est del corso dell’Eufrate, nella piana di Seruj, tra il Balikh e l'Eufrate.
Nell’ambito di una ricerca congiunta italo-francese-siriana tra l’Università di Bologna, il Musée du Louvre e la Direzione Generale delle Antichità e dei Musei di Siria (DGAM) che prevede il restauro e lo studio dei materiali eburnei provenienti dal Palazzo degli Avori, l’Università di Bologna e la Direzione Generale delle Antichità e dei Musei di Siria (DGAM) hanno attivato un progetto di ricerca archeologica congiunto siro-italiano che si prefigge di svolgere operazioni topografiche, archeologiche e archeometriche per la ricostruzione della storia insediativa del sito di Arslan Tash e la tutela del suo patrimonio.
Il rilievo topografico ha avuto scopo di creare una carta topografica alla scala 1:1000 del villaggio per confermare il posizionamento delle strutture antropiche antiche ed indicare aree non antropizzate accessibili per indagini archeologiche.
Il lavoro si è svolto fondamentalmente in due fasi. La prima è avvenuta attraverso un’attenta osservazione del rilievo morfologico eseguito dalla Missione archeologica Francese che operò brevemente nel 1928, per riuscire ad analizzare il piano quotato, alcuni elementi geometrici strutturali, il posizionamento e l’orientamento del sito archeologico posto in direzione EW.
La seconda fase ha visto sviluppare un rilievo topografico complessivo per ricostruire un modello morfometrico interamente modificato dalla urbanizzazione attuale. Il rilievo si è caratterizzato nella individuazione e nel posizionamento di alcuni assi stradali posti alla sommità di Arslan Tash in direzione NS ed EW, dove sono state trovate similitudini sul loro orientamento con il Palazzo del Sovrano Assiro e il cosiddetto Palazzo degli Avori.
Inoltre l’identificazione di alcune strutture di elevazione in terra cruda, poste sull’asse stradale NS, ha dato di ritenere che potessero gravare sui resti dell’Antico Palazzo. Partendo proprio da questi elementi si è sviluppato un rilievo attraverso il quale si sono individuate, sul terreno, le dimensioni perimetrali delle strutture di cui sopra descritte. A completamento delle informazioni utili per un intervento di indagine archeologica si sono posizionati i confini di varie proprietà immobiliari ed i relativi terreni, attraverso il i quali è possibile risalire alla pianta catastale fornita dalle autorità locali.
La ricostruzione morfologica di Arslan Tash, invece, è stata ricavata, in alcune zone libere da manufatti, con il lancio di curve di livello. Le aree scelte si sono rivelate utili per la determinazione del piano quotato e per una valutazione comparativa rispetto alla situazione trovata dalla Missione Francese al tempo dello scavo archeologico

Burcu/0000-0002-1880-1047WOS: 000370822700026PubMed: 26879855Paraoxonase (PON) is a key enzyme in metabolism of living organisms and decreased activity of PON1 was acknowledged as a risk for atherosclerosis and organophosphate toxicity. The present study describes the synthesis, characterization, PON1 inhibitory properties and molecular docking studies of functionalized imidazolium and benzimidazolium salts (1a-5g). The structures of all compounds were elucidated by IR, NMR, elemental analysis and structures of compounds 2b and 2c were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1c, a coumarin substituted imidazolium salt showed the best inhibitory effect on the activity of PON1 with good IC50 value (6.37 mu M). Kinetic investigation was evaluated for this compound and results showed that this compound is competitive inhibitor of PON1 with K-1, value of 2.39 mu M. Molecular docking studies were also performed for most active compound 1c and one of least active compound 2c in order to determine the probable binding model into active site of PON1 and validation of the experimental results.
