Journey to the past vol.2

May be you remember may be not but me and Zep did a little puppet show to you originally Turkısh versıon ıs dıffrent but ıt wasnt possıble to do it so we changed it a little bit I wrote a text in English and we find the puppet characters and draw them in colurs so you see the text and An introduction to our traditional Hacivat-Karagöz Shadow Puppet show

The shadow theatre, which involves two-dimensional figures casting their shadows on a screen, had important place in Turkey as well as throughout the larger area of the Ottoman Empire. The Turks, before they came to know shadow theatre in the sixteenth century, had enjoyed a long-standing established puppet tradition. There is virtually no kind of puppet show that Turkey has not tried. Puppet tradition came from Central Asia, but shadow theatre did not. Central Asia and Persia do not have shadow theatre. It was borrowed from Egypt in the sixteenth century. One question, however, remains and that is the origin of the Egyptian shadow theatre. There seems-little doubt that the shadow theatre was borrowed from Java by the Arabs. Arab trading and raiding expeditions kept them in continuous contact with Java. Now the question as to whether there was any indirect influence via Egypt of the Javanese on the Turkish shadow theatre is difficult to answer; yet there are several points in common between Turkish and Javanese shadow theatres. Turkish shadow theatre appears to be the product of a historical process whereby the Mameluke-derived shadow play technique was taken over by the Turks from a technical point of view only. In addition, it can be assumed that the Turkish shadow theatre borrowed movements, postures, and costumes of the Ottoman shadow theatre along with human actors such as Ottoman jesters and grotesque dancers, both of which had been in existence long before the advent of shadow theatre.

We do not know what early karagoz figures looked like as the oldest puppets extant today are no more than one hundred years old. However we have a rich source reference in the Ottoman miniatures of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These depict jesters and grotesque dancers, which conform to the style of karagöz figures not only in their costumes and headgear but also in their characteristic postures. Whether it was through the Egyptians or others that Turkey got Karagoz, all might have bequeathed a slight influence in their way. However, in essence, Karagoz is a rich cross section of Turkish culture, namely, of poetry, miniature painting music, folk customs, and oral tradition. So then, all these elements merged and fused in the early preparatory years of the sixteenth century to result in what is today known as Karagoz. By the seventeenth century, Karagoz was wholly identified. The name of Karagoz, as well as of kukla which in Turkish means a -puppet-, appeared for the first time in the seventeenth century.

a journey to the past

we had two lessons with Tove but I couldn't join one of them because again about our visa:( But We managed it so ı am comfort.yeah turn back teh lesson.

Tove talked about education systems in Europe.So look at my notes.

*Some schools focus on work with families ,others are creative and interfire prrofile.

*Edgar Schein( she called organizing collagesand leaderships,one of the founders of organization culture,When you want to change sth. in your organization ,you must know that what is possible to change(changing minds is difficult)

*Artafacts(manmade)are evrything you can observe (how old it is,how is the furniture,the way of thinking and eatingwhat does the school look like open or locked?,classes or rooms?,canteens or lunch boxes?..

And a general look of Europe

Encyclopaedic approach- France,Spain,Portugal,Italy,Belgium( Ithink Turkey is in this group but not so deep.)

All children should acquire knowledge as many issues as possible teaching of quality :the same curriculum,same methods,standarisedand same qality.

Way of thinking: No religion,no emotion,clear precise demnds understanding of structures and systems.

Elitism:Competition as a method in teaching career is important not coperation France has got the second chance schools also..

Humanistic approach-UK and Ireland

Naturalistic approach-Scandinavian countries,Germany and Dutch

THe lord of the rings night

Yesterday night was so good for me cause we watched the second part "two towers "of the lotr.

I read the book last summer (the specıal edıtıon ıt ıs near you can see) ,always everybody asked that what are you learnıng from thıs book,ıt ıs so big why do you read ıt?If you Fınısh ıt what wıll be happen to you?bla blabla... nothıng I was readıng because I love jrr.tolkiens world.Actually I have seen all films but not ın Englısh the Turkısh doubt ones so also ıt ıs good for me

My motto We must have the ring cause we will use it for peoples future.And Frodo is so small for this strong ring:)))

about ımprovıng Englısh:)

Party;)

yesterday night we( all erasmus students) met in our dormyhouse :)and had a mixture party Why it was mixture cause we did many things

1.I made a cake for us , originally I do it in an oval pan but we havent got so did it in a different way honestly I was afraid of this if it wouldn't grow up, it was growed up heeeyo! it was ok.

2.Lilla did a Hungarian drink for us ıt ıs quite difficult to explain it, maybe I can say egg with milk and vanilla:) It was good thanks Lilla

3.Everybody came to house and we had hyggelic time a little bit but when Noemi said "I have got my gipsy cards with me" I see excitement on everybodys face.so we had a curious time :)

3.Yesterday was Earthhour day so we switchded off the lights and we walked to the bridge which is near to the Varbergparken and possible to see the city a little part.I 'm sorry to say it but someone is cheating,They didnt switch the light off ,but our house was almost dark(cause we couln't switch off the otomatic stairs light.

4.We played billiard actually I didnt but also watching was good ,cheering and seeing some mistakes;)

5.At the and we did karaoke which is full of fun I think if the real singers listen our group ,they will be so jealous about us :)here is some pictures of the night.thanks guy ıt was good night for me....

discussing in democratic way

last Globalization and citizenship lesson was today with Henrik,we watched part of lord of the rings and found possitive ,negative citizeship ideas(keywors are in Obama's speech) in it so I think Frodo is symbolising a good citizen but ring consey don't consider hobbits:( then we showed our pocketmovies but Henrik don't appreciate them so much,so I hided myself you can see it under the text:) The most important thing for me about this lesson is we discussed about the famous cartoons again and we tald our opinions freely so democracy is in everywhere..

.....use your body & voice...

Now I am writing about our Aabenra experience.last week's and this week's tueasdays we went to the Aabenra for drama and movement lesson with Flemming and Linda.First lesson we dont know each other (yeah we know each other but teachers dont know us ) so we played some ıce braker games like saying names with we'll rock you rythemme and remembering friends name (one of us was become a shark and try to catch the other:)

then we had a teheme to exhibit my group's theme was 'zooropa' its a song from U2 but we thought that we can sybmloise our countries as an animal so all Europe is in a zoo! Definitly I was turkey:)After lunch break we played samba musics with drums,trampets and an isntrument but aı dont know the name:( ıt was so funny and loudly and doing rytheme together is a little bit hard cause when you were doin, somebody could finish at beginin so musicwas getiing mix.That was the end of the day and day was so beautiful sunny spring day so we decided to trip Aabenra and did some shoping. Enjoyed my time

Second lesson was as interesting as the first we did many things again.first we did rythmic movements to warm up our bodies.and this activity conteins to clap yuor hands and clap your body with your hands then we sat on the floor and did rythme by cups.

Now my favourite part yeeees it is dancing first we danced a typicall Danish dance then then somethin like cowboy then Polska:)And singing which is unfortunetly to do this days last activity was a drama performing first we listened a song(takes 5 minute) then we planned what can we play with this song and my group played Romeo &Juliette parody:)but the most important thing is we played with masks which is using to hide your all face.So you must do your act by your body I was so tired about this thing ;)

Tak Flemming &Linda

So this video is our drama

bein' OpTiMiStIc

Today we had globalization and citizenship lesson with Henrik.Last lesson we talked and thought about Obamas speech with him.And as said before when I arrived home realized that the speech is preapared in differenet way generally presidents give their expactations first and say something about reality after but Obaama spoked about world crises and the wars(reality)and then his promises..may be we want him to be a different person:)

Solast lesson we had an task about our citizenship educations,we presented them then my best part watchin music clips which has got meaningfull lyrics and good music

1.Earthsong-Micheal Jackson ( he is always asking about reasons for our violence, greed and destroys,and video shows some peoples in different nations but their reflections are complitly same.. p.s.Micheal won the grammy award with this song )

2.where is the love_black eyed peas(again they are asking reasons and they said

Father,father...send some guidance from above.. )this song is more optimistic I think but two them are true.Sometimes we are thinkin that our worlds old days were better than now so what about the future? Is it a good idea to carpediem?

after this videos we watched some packetmovies about citizenship and we have got another task about it on friday..to be continued...:)
