\"bulent-ecevit-articles-arts-and-politics-in-the-1950s\"<\/a>The B\u00fclent Ecevit articles<\/a> database includes 1,500 Turkish- and English-language articles written by B\u00fclent Ecevit between 1950 and 1961, most of them published in the prominent daily paper Ulus<\/i>. While much is known of Ecevit\u2019s long career as a statesman\u2013beginning with his service as Minister of Labor 1961 and lasting well into the 2000s\u2013this early chapter in his life remains largely unknown. Yet the cultural commentary, art criticism, political analyses and travel writings that he produced in the 1950s constitute an extraordinarily prolific and consistent body of work on the importance of civic culture and democracy. The columns reveal the seeds of his later political thought, as well as giving a new perspective on the importance of the arts to his intellectual life.<\/p>\n

All original research has been carried out by Sarah-Neel Smith, research director for the Ecevit digitization project, with the collaboration of SALT Research and the Rah\u015fan Ecevit-B\u00fclent Ecevit Foundation of Science and Art & Culture (Ankara). Over a four year period, SALT Research scanned all of Ecevit\u2019s publicly available writings and converted them to fully searchable texts which match the originals. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Foundation founding member Emrehan Hal\u0131c\u0131, Rah\u015fan Ecevit, and her sister Asude Aral, who facilitated this project by supplying all the missing documents, the database encompasses Ecevit\u2019s entire corpus of writing from the 1950s. All data has been compiled with permission of Rah\u015fan Ecevit-B\u00fclent Ecevit Foundation of Science and Art & Culture.<\/p>\n

Sarah-Neel Smith<\/b>, research director of the Ecevit digitization project, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she teaches modernism in a global and comparative perspective. The Ecevit online archive is the direct result of Smith\u2019s ongoing research, begun in 2012, into B\u00fclent Ecevit\u2019s involvement in international debates about democracy and art after WWII. Her current book project How to Build An Art World: Art & Politics in 1950s Turkey<\/i> investigates Ecevit\u2019s place in the context of an emergent modern art world in the post-war period.<\/p>\n
