EEUU ha sido el principal aliado y copartícipe del genocidio de Gaza y de todas las aventuras militares de Israel en los últimos años. El despliegue de los sofisticados aviones F-22 en Israel es sólo un gesto + en el mismo sentido. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

📚Por fin hoy sale a la venta “La casa de Leyla”, de Zülfü Livaneli, una preciosa novela que he tenido el gran placer de traducir del turco al español👇🏼

🌀 The Art Nouveau staircase in the Small Mabeyn of Yıldız Palace (1900–1901). It is attributed to Raimondo d’Aronco, architect to the Ottoman court during the reign of Abdulhamid II. The balustrade is metal, including the flowers; the lamp petals are glass.

So I heard we’re posting super bowls. Here’s a Fatimid lusterware bunny. Islamic lusterwares originate in Iraq to emulate the sheen of Chinese porcelain, but the combo with highly animated-looking Fatimid animal motifs is my favorite. He even has a little snack. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

📍Mezquita Hamidiana de Yıldız (1886) Encargada por Abdülhamid II junto al Palacio de Yıldız: fachada neo-gótica, interior con influencias andalusíes y ebanistería finísima: al sultán le fascinaba la carpintería.

What appears to be the Beyazıt Tower depicted on a 19th-century hamam tası (bath bowl). Rebuilt in the early 1800s after major fires, the tower served as Istanbul’s fire-watch and signalling post, becoming also an urban icon within everyday Ottoman material culture. 📍 Zeyrek Hamam Müzesi

⚓️En las mazmorras de Yedikule (Estambul) sobreviven dos grafitis atribuidos a jenízaros: nombres (Mustafá, ¿Abdullah?) y anclas. Tras la abolición de los cuerpos jenízaros en 1826 (Mahmud II) y la purga de símbolos e infraestructuras, quedan muy pocas huellas. Estas marcas en la piedra son oro.

📍Şahkulu Sultan Dergâhı Cemevi (Estambul) Dergâh (convento sufí) aleví-bektaşí construido en los siglos XVI-XVII. Cerrado oficialmente en 1826 y 1925, hoy sigue como lugar de culto clave para la comunidad aleví de Estambul.

🎬Queen & Slim (Melina Matsoukas, 2019). Una road movie muy romántica y muy política. Aunque semi-realista, es una reflexión potente de lo que es ser negro en EEUU hoy en día. De lo mejor que he visto del cine estadounidense en años.

Quién quiere tener una librería debajo de su casa cuando puedes tener algo mucho más interesante, como una guardería de maletas abierta 24 horas, por ejemplo. O una tienda de souvenirs con delantales de flamenca con sus lunares y sus volantes o imanes para la nevera de temática taurina.

📚 En febrero se publica en Galaxia Gutenberg "La casa de Leyla", de Zülfü Livaneli, mi primera traducción literaria del turco al español. Si os interesa la literatura turca contemporánea o una mirada a Estambul desde sus múltiples facetas, "La casa de Leyla" os encantará 👇🏽

📈In Spain, only 35 out of 17,850 cemeteries offer Muslim sections, and many have no available space or are abandoned. In Germany, more than 80% of Muslims of Turkish origin choose repatriation. Here are some facts about the situation 👇🏾

In Europe, dying with dignity is a luxury. In my analysis for the Anna Lindh Foundation on Muslim Burial Rights in Europe I explore how the severe lack of Muslim cemeteries in Spain 🇪🇸 & Germany 🇩🇪 exposes a systemic failure of integration and belonging. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

✨Works by Turkish artist Nurullah Berk (1906–1982), a key figure in cubism and figurative constructivism in Turkey.

📚We don’t have many books about Turkey in Spanish, so it’s a real pleasure to see an intimate and powerful story about migration, uprooting, and identity, from Anatolia to Germany, published in my mother tongue. “Our German Fairy Tale”, by Dinçer Güçyeter. Looking forward to reading it!
