Tarih: 2 Mart 2021, saat 18:00 Garip vakalar, gizli bilimler ve büyü Osmanlı bilim ve kültür tarihi içinde yeni bir alan oluşturmaktadır. Bugün bizim için doğa ve doğaüstü çok net bir biçimde birbirinden ayrı alanlar olmasına rağmen modern öncesi kültürlerde bu sınır daha belirsizdi: Bir yandan bilinebilen ilebilinemeyen arasında, öte yandan da normal (döngüsel) süreç ile mucize (ya da keramet) arasındaki farklar daha önemliydi. Bu konuşmada, Rethymno’da (Girit) yürütülmekte olan GHOST projesi üzerinden Osmanlı’da doğaüstü denilen vakaların ve olayların algılanışı ele alınacaktır. Konuşmanın moderatörlüğü Marinos Sariyannis tarafından yapılacaktır. Konuşma uzaktan erişimle gerçekleşecektir.
