Living in the Ottoman Lands: Identities Administration and Warfare
The long and elaborate past of the Ottoman Empire, encompassing a wide geographical area, presents a mosaic of knowledge and acquisition of experience. Upon this complicated and plural nature, Ottoman history looks like a puzzle that requires a wealth of skills and approaches to decipher. The foremost step to achieve this sophisticated task is to go beyond the borders of formalistic narratives and gain a multiplicity of perspectives through collaborative studies. This book is one of the outputs of such cooperation toward a more comprehensive Ottoman historiography. The first part, entitled “Religious Identities, Intercommunal Relations and Social Life”, focuses on the communal structure ...

Asfuriyyeh
The development of psychiatry in the Middle East, viewed through the history of one of the first modern mental hospitals in the region. ʿAṣfūriyyeh (formally, the Lebanon Hospital for the Insane) was founded by a Swiss Quaker missionary in 1896, one of the first modern psychiatric hospitals in the Middle East. It closed its doors in 1982, a victim of Lebanon's brutal fifteen-year civil war. In this book, Joelle Abi-Rached uses the rise and fall of ʿAṣfūriyyeh as a lens through which to examine the development of modern psychiatric theory and practice in the region as well as the sociopolitical history of modern Lebanon. Abi-Rached shows how ʿAṣfūriyyeh's role shifted from a missi...
Placing Islam
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. For centuries, the Mosque of Eyüp Sultan has been one of Istanbul’s most important pilgrimage destinations, in large part because of the figure buried in the tomb at its center: Halid bin Zeyd Ebû Eyûb el-Ensârî, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Timur Hammond argues here, however, that making a geography of Islam involves considerably more. Following practices of storytelling and building projects from the final years of the Ottoman Empire to the early 2010s, Placing Islam shows how different individuals and groups articulated connections among people, places, traditions, and histories to make a place that is paradoxically defined by both powerful continuities and dynamic relationships to the city and wider world. This book provides a rich account of urban religion in Istanbul, offering a key opportunity to reconsider how we understand the changing cultures of Islam in Turkey and beyond.
sen bana niye yan baktın
eskiden çok nadir haber olurdu, sen bana niye yan baktın. Ve ne acıdır ki bu haberler, sanki her ana doğru gidiyor. Bunlar da haberlere yansıyanlar. O kadar çok can anlık öfke ile hayata veda ediyor ki Ve öfkesine yenilenler de kodese. Değer mi?
State Reform and Development in the Middle East
The economies of Turkey and Egypt, remarkably similar until the early 1980s, have since taken divergent paths. Turkey has successfully implemented a policy of export led industrialisation whilst Egypt’s manufacturing industry and exports have stagnated. In this book, Amr Adly uses extensive primary research to present detailed comparisons of Turkey’s and Egypt’s state administrative and private sector capacities and links between the two. The conclusion the author draws is that the external contexts for both were so alike that this cannot account for their diverging paths. Instead, the author suggests a counterintuitive yet compelling explanation; that a democratic polity is far more likely than an authoritarian one to engender a successful developmental state. Emerging in the wake of the January revolution in Egypt, when hopes for democratisation were raised, this book provides a fresh perspective on the topical subject of state reform and development in the Middle East and will be of interest to students and scholar alike.
Prohibition in Turkey
A social history of alcohol, identity, secularism, and modernization from the late Ottoman and early Turkish republican eras to the present day. Prohibition in Turkey investigates the history of alcohol, its consumption, and its proscription as a means to better understand events and agendas of the late Ottoman and early Turkish republican eras. Through a comprehensive examination of archival, literary, popular culture, media, and other sources, it unveils a traditionally overlooked—and even excluded—aspect of human history in a region that many do not associate with intoxicants, inebriation, addiction, and vigorous wet-dry debates. Historian Emine Ö. Evered’s account uniquely chronic...
Muses, Mystics, Madness: The Diagnosis and Celebration of Mental Illness
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Madness – a word of many different meanings, a condition with the potential to destroy, harm, liberate, and inspire in equal measures. This volume explores madness from an inter-disciplinary perspective. It emphasises the need for improved psychological treatment as well as the necessity to enter a dialogue with madness. Apart from the potentially devastating impact mental illness might have on the patient, the positive side of madness is also explored. What if madness is a muse that inspires the artist to create a masterpiece? What if madness is a mystic who connects us to a greater, transcendental truth? What if madness is a mantle the frees us to speak our minds in a hostile environment that threatens to punish us for our deviant thoughts? It is this balancing act between creative and illuminating madness on the one, and destructive and harmful insanity on the other hand that this volume explores.
Küçük Aile
Ayşe ölüyor, verem, verem! O güzelliğe âşık katil! O gençlik düşmanı canavar! Verem bir yırtıcı hayvandır ki hurilerin dinlenme yeri olan cennet ovasında bulunur. Sinsi sinsi gezer, hunhar gözüne merhamet ışığı, gaddar çehresine masumiyet anlamı verir de o hurilerden hangisi daha güzel, tabiatına daha uygun bulunursa yanına yaklaşanlar ayaklarının altında yuvarlanmaya başlar. Kaplanken güvercin kadar küçülür; hayatı yutacağı halde cana can katacak kadar güzelleşir. “Bu neslin ortak özelliği farklı edebî türlerle ilgilenmeleri, şiiri hikâyeye yaklaştırmaları, hatta Fikret örneğinde olduğu gibi şiire diyaloğu sokmalarıdır. Bu sayed...
