The gist of the #Serbia issue in a thread.

The translation also features an intro by Ahmet Ersoy, which situates Servet-i Fünun in the larger story of image circulation and modern print culture. He also contributes a separate article to the issue. 3/3

Snapshot of the first page of my published translation in Art in Translation, featuring the title and the abstract written by Ahmet Ersoy.
