    From brew to bond: exploring the socio-cultural dynamics of Türkiye’s tea gardens
    (Bilkent University, 2024) Pitafi, Alishba; Irfan, Hamza; Zare Bidaki, Kasra; Jokoo, Nazihah
    After the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in the early 1920s, the tea drinking culture gradually took over the coffee drinking culture in Türkiye. The increasing popularity of tea gave rise to the concept of tea gardens: relaxing outdoor settings with scenic views that are visited by both men and women to exchange everyday gossip and have casual conversation over a cup of çay. This paper investigates the socio-cultural dynamics of Türkiye's tea gardens, analyzing their evolution from mere tea-drinking spots to significant social hubs, and exploring the multi-factor roles they play in promoting collectivism and social identity within Turkish culture. This research paper also briefly compares the two social spaces essential to Türkiye’s culture: coffeehouses and tea gardens. Additionally, it describes how tea gardens evolved within themselves as a concept and had an effect on the social life and the culture in Türkiye.

    Origins of a consumer culture in an early modern context : Ottoman Bursa
    (2006) Karababa, Eminegül
    Studies on the origins of the modern consumer culture generally focus on the early modern western context with the inherent assumption that today’s modern consumer culture had its origins in the early modern west. This study examines origins of an early modern consumer culture in a non-western context; Ottoman Empire between the mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth centuries and investigates how particularities of the context shaped a different consumer culture. Specifically the study focuses the town of Bursa. In the Ottoman context, social structure provided differences from the previously theorized western contexts concerning consumer culture phenomena. Ottoman context had a different dominant class and relatively high level of upward mobility among the ranks. Ottoman dominant class allowed the entry of lowest echelons and had intergenerational downward mobility. Multiple data sources including archival data were used to conduct this historical research. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques were complemented. Findings show that indeed an early modern consumer culture in a non-western context existed. In addition, the characteristics of the Ottoman social structure shaped a different Ottoman consumer culture both in terms of appropriation of different categories of goods and the processes of fashion and diffusion of goods.
