While the Ottoman conquest of the Mamluk realm in 1516-17 doubtlessly changed the balance of political power in Egypt and Greater Syria, the changes must be seen as a wide-ranging transition process. The present collection of essays provides several case studies on the changing situation during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and explains how the reconfiguration of political power affected both Egypt and Greater Syria. With reference to the first volume (2017), this second volume continues the debate on key issues of the transition period with contributions by scholars from both Mamluk and Ottoman studies. By combining these perspectives, the authors provide a more comprehensive and nuanced picture of the process of transformation from Mamluk to Ottoman rule.
This book examines the transformation of scholars into scholar-bureaucrats and discusses ideology, law and administration in the Ottoman Empire.
As with most empires of the Early Modern period (1500-1800), the Ottomans mobilized human and material resources for warmaking on a scale that was vast and unprecedented. The present volume examines the direct and indirect effects of warmaking on Aleppo, an important Ottoman administrative center and Levantine trading city, as the empire engaged in multiple conflicts, including wars with Venice (1644-69), Poland (1672-76) and the Hapsburg Empire (1663-64, 1683-99). Focusing on urban institutions such as residential quarters, military garrisons, and guilds, and using intensively the records of local law courts, the study explores how the routinization of direct imperial taxes and the assimilation of soldiers to civilian life challenged and reshaped the city s social and political order.
The political identities of the Turkish working class began a transformative journey that started during a period of industrialization following World War II and continued until the military interventions of 1960. Working Class Formation in Turkey addresses common, structural generalizations to recover the complex history of developing political, recreational, familial, residential, and work-related lives of Turkish workers. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, this volume brings the concept of “everydayness” to the fore and uncovers the local contexts that fostered class solidarity, examines labor practices that fueled radicalism, and analyzes the shifting dynamics of industrial discipline that impacted working class identity and culture.
Bu çalışmada Sencer Divitçioğlu’nun Osmanlı toplumunu Asya üretim tarzı (AÜT) çerçevesinde bir modele yerleştirmesine sistematik bir yanıt oluşturulmaktadır. Osmanlı toplumunu kendine özgü (sui generis) olarak tanımlayan ve feodal üretim tarzının hâkimiyetini reddederken istemeden AÜT tezlerini savunanlara dolaylı destek veren önemli iktisat tarihçimiz Ömer Lütfü Barkan’ın görüşleri de eleştiri kapsamına alınmaktadır. Barkan üzerinden bir anlamda partikülarizm/kendine özgücülük sarmalına hapsolmuş bütün Osmanlı tarihçilerine de dolaylı bir eleştiri yöneltilmiş olmaktadır. Çalışmanın bir diğer tartışması, Osmanlı ekonomik ve ...
