New ISBN: 9786258520477 CATALOG: Istanbul / Constantinople KEYWORDS: Istanbul - Constantinople Ottoman history Ottoman history Romania Fanar Golden Horn Greece As the product of ANAMED's four-year research program "Phanariot Materialities," All Phanar Is Here aims to reassemble the fragments of this once-shared, rich cultural heritage, inviting the audience to retrace the footsteps of the Phanariots through unexpected routes, rare albums and books, and 3-D architectural and digital reconstructions. Specially produced works for the exhibition?such as 3-D models of buildings and neighborhoods designed and created by the faculty members of TED University's Department of Architecture, and a Phanar House digitally recreated in a virtual environment by members of the Koc University KARMA XR Lab in collaboration with the curators?offer a rich experience across this ten-section exhibition stretching from Phanar to Bucharest, and subsequently to the shores of the Bosphorus. In addition to these, the lives of the Phanariots over a century are made visible to audiences through original paintings and books from the Omer M. Koc Collection, the IMM Ataturk Library, the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), the Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation Orientalist Painting Collection, the Istanbul Research Institute, the Sismanoglio Megaro, and the Koc University Suna Kirac Library, along with documents, photographs, and drawings compiled from numerous other national and international institutions and collections. A scholar residing in Wallachia's capital city of Bucharest in 1719 observed in a letter to his friend, a Patriarch: "All Phanar is here; I no longer recall Istanbul." By "Phanar," he was referring to a group of Greek-speaking Orthodox Christian households of Istanbul and their neighborhood on the Golden Horn. Wallachia andMoldavia were Orthodox Christian principalities vassalized by the Ottomans in the sixteenth century. When in Istanbul, Moldo-Wallachian nobility (boyars) resided in the Phanar. In turn, Phanar residents, like our scholar, settled and invested in the principalities. A major milestone in this mutual relationship occurred in the 1710s: the Ottoman State, for the first time, appointed a Greek resident of Phanar and former translator of the Court as voivode (prince) of Moldavia and Wallachia. For the next 100 years, voivodes would be selected from among influential houses of Phanar, later to be known collectively as the Phanariots. All Phanar?with its merchants, self-made 'noble' families, clergymen, and dependents?would increasingly connect Istanbul to the principalities and the non-Ottoman world. From their households and neighborhoods in Istanbul, to their roles at the Sublime Porte and princely courts and capital cities, the Phanariots represent a unique case of cross-cultural entanglements and mobility for the long eighteenth century. The Ottoman, Greek, and Romanian languages and arts, 'eastern' and 'western' ideas, tastes, etiquettes, and especially spaces comprised the Phanariot lived experience. The Phanariot material culture represents the shared but fragmented and contested histories of Greece, Romania, and Turkey.

Condition: New. 23x28 cm. This volume accompanies the exhibition All Phanar Is Here: Household, Neighborhood, Court, and the City, held at the Koc University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED). In addition to bringing together the full range of textual and visual materials presented in the exhibitionincluding contextual essays, original historical excerpts, images and books drawn from numerous collections, drawings of specially-produced architectural and urban models, and views from three-dimensional reconstructionsit also serves as a major scholarly resource featuring original essays by leading researchers on Phanariot material culture. The essays trace the Phanariotsthose beys appointed as rulers (princes or voivodes) of Wallachia and Moldavia during the "long" eighteenth century of the Ottoman Empiretheir families, and the extensive networks of power surrounding them, together with their spatial and cultural traces. Beginning from the houses they inhabited in Phanar, Istanbul, and extending along the routes leading to Wallachia and Moldavia and back to the Bosphorus, the contributions examine the Phanariots through a variety of themes. Particular attention is devoted to their unique and privileged position within the Ottoman imperial system, their intertwined existence with local elites in Wallachia and Moldavia, their patronage practices and ceremonial culture, their literary and musical production, and their traces within the urban landscapes of Istanbul and Bucharest. While making the Phanariots and the heritage they left behind more visible within the fields of history and art history, this exhibition book also discusses the methodological and curatorial challenges involved in reconstructing, reuniting, and exhibiting the fragmented and dispersed remains of their material culture.
