Focusing on the specific case of knowledge production in and about Iran, in this chapter, we discuss the risk of reproducing a Northern perspective in the attempts to produce knowledge on and through the Global South(s). We argue that such reproduction leads to cognitive suppression, further peripheralization, or even recolonization of the South(s). We also stress the lasting effects of methodological nationalism among attempts at decolonization and its political consequences, such as in the adoption of nativist discourses historically connected to the 'Islamic' Revolution by scholars focusing on the Global South(s) and in area studies concerning Iran. To avoid these effects, we suggest considering the politics of scale in our recognition and problematization of the hierarchization of Northern and Southern sites of knowledge production and their particularities.
Erfahrungen mit Wikipedia.de
(2016)
Ausgehend von der unsystematischen Mitarbeit einerseits, der laufenden Beobachtung einiger mit dieser Absicht geschriebenen Artikel (zur Volksliedforschung) andererseits sollen weitgehend allgemein gültige Beobachtungen und Erfahrungen mit der deutschen Wikipedia skizziert werden. Damit soll diese für türkische Studierende äußerst wichtige Informationsquelle transparenter gemacht werden, und damit soll zu einer kreativ-kritischen Verwendung von Wikipedia angeregt werden.
Wikipedia kann im Unterricht verwendet werden, ja den richtigen Gebrauch von Wikipedia zu lernen, sollte wichtiges Unterrichtsthema sein. Wikipedia regt zur Mitarbeit an; man sollte allerdings wissen, worauf man sich einlässt.
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts regierte Europa über ca. 85% des globalen Territoriums in Form von Kolonien, Protektoraten und Dependancen. Die koloniale Expansion war ein exorbitanter und gewalttätiger Prozess, der durch Ausbeutung, Versklavung und Diebstahl charakterisiert war. Es stellt sich deswegen die Frage, warum sich innerhalb der westlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen lange Zeit nur eine kleine Minderheit diesem Ereignis analytisch angenommen hat. Keine große intellektuelle Anstrengung ist vonnöten, um zu verstehen, dass eine solch massive territoriale Expansion, die zum Teil über Jahrhunderte gewaltvoll erhalten wurde, erstens nicht nur durch militärische Präsenz möglich war, zweitens nicht mit der bloßen formalen Unabhängigkeit der kolonisierten Staaten zu einem Ende kommen konnte und schließlich kaum nur Spuren in den kolonisierten Ländern hinterlassen haben kann, sondern auch den globalen Norden prägten. Postkoloniale Studien nähern sich dieser Komplexität und irritieren dabei die Vorstellung einer zwangsläufigen, geradezu naturwüchsigen, kolonialen Beherrschung durch Europa. Sie werfen einen Blick auf die Mannigfaltigkeit kolonialer Interventionen und deren Wirkmächtigkeit bis in die heutigen Tage (etwa Randeria/Eckert 2009).
Writing the history of archaeology has become increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments in the historiography of the sciences and the humanities. A move away from hagiography and presentations of scientific processes as an inevitable progression has been requested in this context. Historians of archaeology have begun to utilize approved and new historiographical concepts to trace how archaeological knowledge has been acquired as well as to reflect on the historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute to this trend. By linking theories and models with case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the authors illuminate implications of communication on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of different approaches such as narratological concepts or the concepts of habitus is thus considered.
In this brief discussion, I reflect on the significance of using the category of the global south for reconfiguring the scope of the history of knowledge. While I see this as a productive paradigm shift that has already given rise to mould-breaking works, I focus here on the cross-hemispheric histories of extractive capitalism and how both colonial violence and anticolonial resistance have shaped knowledge-making. I argue that thinking through 'entangled ecologies' can be a tool for countering the existing conceptual order, which has led to the north-south division in the first place. Attending to epistemic and ontological entanglements would enable us to ask better and deeper questions about the increasingly complex interconnections across human and nonhuman worlds, especially given the planetary crises we face today.
Invitation, to exi(s)t
(2024)
This joint piece aspires to be a dialogue. In a dialogue, people speak and, most importantly, listen, from their respective positions. Drawing from Trinh T. Minh-ha's notion of speaking nearby, Dulley and Streva reflect on the relationship between authorship, authority, and authoritarianism; the parallel between listening and reading, on the one hand, and speaking and writing, on the other hand; the entanglement between disciplinary systems of knowledge and colonial structures of power; the opacity of others and the imperialistic drive to reduce them to transparency; the supposed subject of knowledge and the void. As they converse on these matters, they speak nearby authors from both the so-called Global South and the so-called Global North who are thus juxtaposed, further developed, and displaced towards a politics and ethics of fugitivity. What follows is an invitation to exi(s)t.
19. yüzyılda misyoner, oryantalist, asker, yönetici ve araştırmacılar olmak üzere farklı meslek gruplarından birçok Avrupalı, Osmanlı topraklarını dolaşarak arkalarında seyahat kitapları bırakmışlardır. Klasik bilimsel çalışmaların aksine alternatif bir araştırma modeli olarak kabul edilebilecek olan seyahat yazını bir anlatı türü olarak sosyal bilimlerin farklı disiplinleri için oldukça sübjektif verilere dayansa da yoğun ve zengin bir bilimsel materyal sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bir Alman oryantalist ve seyyah olan Eduard Sachau (1845-1930) Osmanlı toprakları içerisinde 1879'da başlayarak yaklaşık altı ay süren bir seyahat gerçekleştirmiş ve seyahat notlarını "Reise in Syrien und Mesopotamien" ("Suriye ve Mezopotamya Seyahati") adıyla 1883 yılında Almanya'da kitap olarak yayımlamıştır. Aslında bir filolog olan Sachau, tıpkı bir sosyolog, antropolog ve arkeolog gibi dolaşarak Osmanlı taşrasında yaşayan Arap, Kürt, Türk, Nasturi, Yakubi ve Yezidiler hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmuştur. Bu çalışma, bir bilim insanı olarak Sachau'nun seyahatinin oryantalist bilgi üretim süreci olduğunu iddia etmekte ve onun süreçte bu topladığı bilgiyi farklı yollarla akademik metinlere transfer ettiğini öne sürmektedir.
