Bathing Culture Of Anatolian Civilizations
Le programme Balnéorient portait dans sa première phase sur le Proche-Orient, la péninsule arabique et l’Egypte, mais a toujours favorisé les études comparatives. C’est la raison pour laquelle il a noué des liens, dans une seconde phase initiée en 2010 dans le cadre du projet HOMERE porté par la MMSH–Aix, avec des équipes travaillant en Turquie, notamment avec N. Ergin et l’université Koç (Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Istanbul).
Le programme qu’ils développent depuis plusieurs années se concrétise aujourd’hui avec la publication des actes du colloque organisé par N. Ergin à Istanbul en 2007. Cette publication, par les thématiques développées, confirme une fois de plus l’intérêt d’élargir ces recherches à l’échelle méditerranéenne.
Présentation de l’ouvrage
Nina Ergin (ed.), Bathing Culture of Anatolian Civilizations: Architecture, History and Imagination, Louvain: Peeters, 2001 (voir la présentation sur le site de l’éditeur)
Because of their architectural value and function as places of hygiene, relaxation and interaction, bathhouses have always played a prominent role for civilizations in Anatolia and its neighboring regions. As architectural spaces and important cultural institutions, baths have been continously shaped by social and historical change on many levels and thus constitute a rewarding subject of study for archaeologists and historians in many different sub-fields of the discipline. The outcome of a symposium organized by Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Istanbul, the essays in this volume examine the evolution of the building type and its cultural context, Seljuk hamams, Ottoman hamams in the capital as well as the provinces of the empire, Safavid and Mughal baths from a comparative perspective, the Turkish bath in the West, and hamams in the painter’s imagination.
