Abstract

Sinan (d.1588) is the most renowned architect of the Ottoman Empire. His buildings, located throughout the eastern Mediterranean, were central to a dynastic and religious architectural heritage that was inherited by a modern and secular Turkish nation state, established in 1923. This article examines how Sinan was refashioned as a national hero in the early decades of the Republic. It focuses on commemorations of Sinan and their major venue: his Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. In my analysis of these commemorations, I draw on a wide and diverse array of primary source materials, including written, photographic, artistic, and other visual materials from the 1930s and 1940s that are located in official, semi-official, and other collections. By doing so, this article reveals how the variety of nationalist approaches to Sinan and his architecture coexisted and competed.

纪念思南:20世纪30年代土耳其民族英雄的塑造

思南(1588年左右)是奥斯曼帝国最著名的建筑师。他的建筑遍布地中海东部，是王朝和宗教建筑遗产的中心，由现代和世俗的土耳其民族国家继承，成立于1923年。本文考察了在建国初期，思南是如何被重塑为民族英雄的。它的重点是纪念思南及其主要场所:他在伊斯坦布尔的 leymaniye清真寺。在我对这些纪念活动的分析中，我借鉴了广泛而多样的原始材料，包括20世纪30年代和40年代的书面、摄影、艺术和其他视觉材料，这些材料位于官方、半官方和其他收藏中。通过这样做，本文揭示了思南及其建筑的各种民族主义方法如何共存和竞争。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
