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.

https://www.academia.edu/41268246/Nature_and_the_supernatural_in_Ottoman_culture https://djinns.hypotheses.org/1387 From the point of view of cultural history, one may describe reality as a continuum, ranging from tangible objects to natural phenomena, from things of everyday experience to things felt but unseen, up to things (commonly) unfelt and unseen but, nevertheless, considered to exist. All these categories are divided by most human cultures into different spheres, some explicable, some ordinary, but with causes unattainable for the human intellect, and some completely inexplicable as pertaining solely to the will and actions of a supreme being. We name these spheres, whose borders and extent shift in history (e.g. through a…
