Herzlich Willkommen zum Blog des Orient-Institut Istanbul
Die Wissenschaftlerinnen des Instituts und deren Kooperationspartnerinnen beschreiben in freier Form, wie sich ihre Projekte trotz der aktuellen Beschränkungen entwickeln und welche neuen Erkenntnisse sie gewonnen haben. Der Blog bietet Raum, um von Erfahrungen, Problemen und Lösungen zu berichten – vor Ort und aus der Ferne. Wichtig ist uns, dass wissenschaftliche Forschung ungeachtet aller Einschränkungen auch jetzt Freude macht, aber dass gerade die geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung derzeit vor besonderen Herausforderungen steht. Die Beitragenden verbindet das Interesse an der Geschichte, den gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen sowie den linguistischen und kulturellen Ausdrucksformen im Osmanischen Reich, der Türkei und ihren Nachbarländern.
