Articulating the musealization of historic cities as a specific urban process, the book here presents a study of the transformation of the Sultanahmet district on Istanbul’s historic peninsula, which has been the major focus of planning, conservation and museological studies in Turkey since the 19th century as the public face of the city. The author aims to offer empirically grounded and context-specific insight into the role of museums in the regeneration of historic cities. Musealization as an urban process varies in different geographical, cultural and ideological contexts, and across different time periods. By discussing the Sultanahmet district as a specific context of yet another city subjected to the musealization process, this book provides further insights into this important global phenomenon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Introduction: Historic City as a Museum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2Symbolic Centre of the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3Repurposing the Symbolic Monuments: A Strategy for Secularisation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Sterilising an Emerging Tourist Destination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Constructed Authenticity of a Tourism Centre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Glorifying the Ottoman Past\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Conclusion: Musealisation as an Urban Process\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042679980375,"sku":"9781793641687","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sultanahmet-istanbul-s-historic-peninsula-musealization-and-urban-conservation-9781793641687","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
