Download or read book Migration Identity and Politics in Turkey from the Ottoman Empire to Today written by Gökçe Bayindir Goularas and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International migration, the flow of people across international boundaries, has been studied from several perspectives, especially since the Syrian civil war in 2011. Migration, Identity and Politics in Turkey from the Ottoman Empire to Today aims to explore the motivation of migration, the social integration or disintegration, the migration process to the host country and the development and creation of new migrant identities. A lot of studies deal with the subject of international migration, especially regarding the civil rights of migrants, economic impacts of migration, or international policies related to migration, but a micro based analysis on migrants’ culture, political, social identities and attitudes, generational transformation, moral and mental stated historical approach is limited. In this regard, the book differs from other works in that it includes comprehensive and historical analyzes of internal and external migration since the Ottoman Empire, rather than just focusing on current international migration to Turkey, as well as an identity-based and cultural perspective that goes beyond the social, economic and political perspective.

Download or read book New Researches New Ideas on Social Sciences written by Eyup Saritas and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by the Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eyp Saritas, this book contains results of most recent scientific studies by nineteen academicians from Turkey, China, and Korea. Even though majority of chapters were written by Turkish academicians, the research subject analyses issues from different parts of the world. Chapters were substantially written by young academicians, which adds to dynamism of the book. Having profound professional experience on their field of interest, the Turkish writers have applied an extensive perspective beyond the national borders as much as possible so that the reader finds results of global academic studies, such as the Egyptian literature, Balkan history, Byzantium history, and Western philosophy and thinking that go beyond boundaries of Turkey.

Download or read book Governing the Frontiers in the Ottoman Empire written by Gülseren Duman Koç and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on many previously unused sources from Ottoman and British archives, Governing the Frontiers in the Ottoman Empire offers a micro-history to understand the nineteenth century Ottoman reforms on the eastern frontiers. By examining the administrative, military and fiscal transformation of Muş, a multi-ethnic, multi-religious sub-province in the Ottoman East, it shows how the reforms were not top-down and were shaped according to local particularities. The book also provides a story of the notables, tribes and peasants of a frontier region. Focusing on the relations between state-notables, notables-tribes, notables-peasants and finally tribes-peasants, the book shows both the causes of contention and collaborations between the parties.

Download or read book Selim III Social Control and Policing in Istanbul at the End of the Eighteenth Century written by Betül Başaran and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Selim III, Social Order and Policing in Istanbul at the End of the Eighteenth Century Betül Başaran examines Sultan Selim III’s social control and surveillance measures. Drawing mainly from a set of inspection registers and censuses from the 1790s, as well as court records she paints a colorful picture of the city’s residents and artisans. She argues that the period constitutes the beginnings of large-scale population control and crisis management and urges us to think about the Ottoman Empire as a polity that was increasingly becoming a “statistical” state, along with its contemporaries in Europe, and to go beyond mechanistic models of borrowing that focus primarily on military reform and European influence in our discussions of Ottoman reform and “modernity”.

Download or read book Politics of Honor in Ottoman Anatolia written by Başak Tuğ and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Politics of Honor, Başak Tuğ examines moral and gender order through the glance of legal litigations and petitions in mid-eighteenth century Anatolia. By juxtaposing the Anatolian petitionary registers, subjects’ petitions, and Ankara and Bursa court records, she analyzes the institutional framework of legal scrutiny of sexual order. Through a revisionist interpretation, Tuğ demonstrates that a more bureaucratized system of petitioning, a farther hierarchically organized judicial review mechanism, and a more centrally organized penal system of the mid-eighteenth century reinforced the existing mechanisms of social surveillance by the community and the co-existing “discretionary authority” of the Ottoman state over sexual crimes to overcome imperial anxieties about provincial “disorder”.

Download or read book Bread from the Lion s Mouth written by Suraiya Faroqhi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newly awakened interest in the lives of craftspeople in Turkey is highlighted in this collection, which uses archival documents to follow Ottoman artisans from the late 15th century to the beginning of the 20th. The authors examine historical changes in the lives of artisans, focusing on the craft organizations (or guilds) that underwent substantial changes over the centuries. The guilds transformed and eventually dissolved as they were increasingly co-opted by modernization and state-building projects, and by the movement of manufacturing to the countryside. In consequence by the 20th century, many artisans had to confront the forces of capitalism and world trade without significant protection, just as the Ottoman Empire was itself in the process of dissolution.

Download or read book The Proper Order of Things written by Heather L. Ferguson and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "natural order of the state" was an early modern mania for the Ottoman Empire. In a time of profound and pervasive imperial transformation, the ideals of stability, proper order, and social harmony were integral to the legitimization of Ottoman power. And as Ottoman territory grew, so too did its network of written texts: a web of sultanic edicts, aimed at defining and supplementing imperial authority in the empire's disparate provinces. With this book, Heather L. Ferguson studies how this textual empire created a unique vision of Ottoman legal and social order, and how the Ottoman ruling elite, via sword and pen, articulated a claim to universal sovereignty that subverted internal challengers and external rivals. The Proper Order of Things offers the story of an empire, at once familiar and strange, told through the shifting written vocabularies of power deployed by the Ottomans in their quest to thrive within a competitive early modern environment. Ferguson transcends the question of what these documents said, revealing instead how their formulation of the "proper order of things" configured the state itself. Through this textual authority, she argues, Ottoman writers ensured the durability of their empire, creating the principles of organization on which Ottoman statecraft and authority came to rest.

Download or read book History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey written by Stanford Jay Shaw and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empire of the Gazis: The Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Empire, 1280-1808 is the first book of the two-volume History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey. It describes how the Ottoman Turks, a small band of nomadic soldiers, managed to expand their dominions from a small principality in northwestern Anatolia on the borders of the Byzantine Empire into one of the great empires of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe and Asia, extending from northern Hungary to southern Arabia and from the Crimea across North Africa almost to the Atlantic Ocean. The volume sweeps away the accumulated prejudices of centuries and describes the empire of the sultans as a living, changing society, dominated by the small multinational Ottoman ruling class led by the sultan, but with a scope of government so narrow that the subjects, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, were left to carry on their own lives, religions, and traditions with little outside interference.

Download or read book The Historical Practice of Diversity written by Dirk Hoerder and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While multicultural composition of nations has become a catchword in public debates, few educators, not to speak of the general public, realize that cultural interaction was the rule throughout history. Starting with the Islam-Christian-Jewish Mediterranean world of the early modern period, this volume moves to the empires of the 18th and 19th centuries and the African Diaspora of the Black Atlantic. It ends with questioning assumptions about citizenship and underlying homogeneous "received" cultures through the analysis of the changes in various literatures. This volume clearly shows that the life-worlds of settled as well as migrant populations in the past were characterized by cultural change and exchange whether conflictual or peaceful. Societies reflected on such change in their literatures as well as in their concepts of citizenship.

Download or read book Minorities and Nationalism in Turkish Law written by Derya Bayir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the on-going dilemma of the management of diversity in Turkey from a historical and legal perspective, this book argues that the state’s failure to accommodate ethno-religious diversity is attributable to the founding philosophy of Turkish nationalism and its heavy penetration into the socio-political and legal fibre of the country. It examines the articulation and influence of the founding principle in law and in the higher courts’ jurisprudence in relation to the concepts of nation, citizenship, and minorities. In so doing, it adopts a sceptical approach to the claim that Turkey has a civic nationalist state, not least on the grounds that the legal system is generously littered by references to the Turkish ethnie and to Sunni Islam. Also arguing that the nationalist stance of the Turkish state and legal system has created a legal discourse which is at odds with the justification of minority protection given in international law, this book demonstrates that a reconstruction of the founding philosophy of the state and the legal system is necessary, without which any solution to the dilemmas of managing diversity would be inadequate. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this timely book will interest those engaged in the fields of Middle Eastern, Islamic, Ottoman and Turkish studies, as well as those working on human rights and international law and nationalism.

The purpose of the volume is to provide and enhance our understanding of the recent trends in the social, economic and nancial analysis. Therefore, this volume includes chapters that focus on the importance of these three disciplines of social sciences which interact heavily with almost every other social science as well as the normative sciences. In this sense, this volume aims at providing a contemporary update to the literature from various dierent perspectives and tries to contribute to our knowledge in an eective manner. The chapters do not only present analysis of certain topics but also help to build the mindset for further studies that would be helpful in looking for answers to some of the remaining questions in these three crucial social sciences disciplines. Hence, we are glad to put together a volume that would be useful to a large audience rather than just the technical experts.
