Revisiting the exhibition that defined a generation of photography, through a meticulous reimagining of the original catalogIn his introduction to the exhibition catalog for New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, held in 1975 at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography in Rochester, NY, curator William Jenkins described the black-and-white images he selected as "reduced to an essentially topographic state, conveying substantial amounts of information but eschewing entirely the aspects of beauty, emotion and opinion." The exhibition brought together 10 photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel Jr.Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, the show effectively gave a name to a movement. Even today, the concept of "New Topographics" is used to characterize the work of artists not yet born when the exhibition was held. "New Topograp

Since its foundation in 1923, the Republic of Turkey has had a complex and often misunderstood relationship with religion. The constitutional la騃it?implemented by its founders is unique in a Muslim context, and although the majority of the population identifies as Muslim, the state recognizes no official religion. Despite this secular stance, Islam has been resurgent in Turkey in the 21st century. Moreover, the relative openness of Turkish society has cultivated vibrant religious (and non-religious) minority communities, placing it at the forefront of global demographic changes in religion. As a result, Turkey has fostered a perennial dynamism among expressions of religious practice, belief, and identity. The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Turkey offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which religion is understood, experienced, and contested in contemporary Turkey. The Handbook is arranged into thematic sections dealing with religion and the origin of the state, theological tren
