Download or read book Un Ottoman en Orient written by Osman Hamdi Bey and published by Actes Sud. This book was released on 2010 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peintre, archéologue, muséographe, écrivain, né à Istanbul en 1842, Osman Hamdi Bey appartenait à cette élite ottomane convaincue de la supériorité de l'Occident et de la nécessité absolue de s'en inspirer, et même de s'y identifier, pour réformer l'Empire, et plus généralement l'Orient, jugé incapable de se redresser par ses propres moyens. S'il était lui-même oriental par ses origines, sa vision de l'Irak ottoman était celle d'un orientaliste, faite d'un étrange mélange de patriotisme, de soif d'exotisme et d'une certaine condescendance à l'égard de la population locale, arabe et bédouine. Les trois textes réunis dans cet ouvrage, et accompagnés d'une substantielle introduction par Edhem Eldem, reflètent trois moments différents de la vie d'Osman Hamdi Bey. Seule source véritablement contemporaine des événements, sa correspondance avec son père (1869-1870) dévoile un enthousiasme naïf, commun à cette génération de jeunes bureaucrates imbus de l'importance de leur mission poli-tique et civilisatrice. Rédigé avec un certain recul, qu'impose un scientisme d'ethnographe, le court extrait des Costumes populaires de la Turquie (1873) dévoile un second Osman Hamdi, toujours orientaliste mais attentif à rendre compte avec précision et objectivité des principales caractéristiques de la province de Bagdad et de ses habitants. Toutefois, le plus surprenant des trois est sans doute la série des "Récits d'un Effendi" (1896), rédigés par un écrivain allemand, Rudolf Lindau, se faisant l'interprète d'Osman Hamdi qui, à cinquante ans, transforme ses souvenirs de jeunesse en des historiettes aux saveurs exotiques.
Download or read book Islamic Art in the 19th Century written by Doris Behrens-Abouseif and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays provides a timely reassessment of nineteenth-century Islamic art and architecture. The essays demonstrate that the arts of that era were vibrant and diverse, making ingenious use of native traditions and materials or adopting imported conventions and new technologies. However, traditionalists, revivalists and modernists all referred in one way or another to an Islamic heritage, whether to reinvent, revive or reject it. Beginning with an historical introduction and an assessment of changing attitudes towards the visual arts the following essays provide case studies of architecture and art in Ottoman Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa, Iran, Central Asia, India and the Caribbean. They examine such issues as patronage, sources of artistic inspiration and responses to European art. The essays have a relevance and importance for our understanding of the societies and attitudes of that time, and have a direct bearing on the more general debate concerning cultural identity and the integration of modern ideas in the Muslim world. The book is richly illustrated with very many illustrations in black-and-white and in full colour.

Download or read book Women s Costume of the Near and Middle East written by Jennifer M. Scarce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical and cultural richness of the Near and Middle East is reflected visually in its costume. In this book, Jennifer Scarce makes brilliant use of years or research to provide a lucid acount of the development of women's dress from the fourteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Her study of costume is set in th ebroader context of the social and economic background of the Ottoman Empire, giving the subject a new an fascinating slant. A detailed discussion of cut and construction is accompanied by pattern layouts and numerous photographs which clearly illustrate the different styles of dress through the centuries. Women's costume of the Near and Middle East is a hitherto sadly neglected subject. After years of original research across the world, this gap has been admirably filled by Jennifer Scarce's scholarly readable study.

Download or read book Dressed to Rule written by Philip Mansel and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history rulers have used clothes as a form of legitimization and propaganda. While palaces, pictures, and jewels might reflect the choice of a monarch’s predecessors or advisers, clothes reflected the preferences of the monarch himself. Being both personal and visible, the right costume at the right time could transform and define a monarch’s reputation. Many royal leaders have known this, from Louis XIV to Catherine the Great and from Napoleon I to Princess Diana. This intriguing book explores how rulers have sought to control their image through their appearance. Mansel shows how individual styles of dress throw light on the personalities of particular monarchs, on their court system, and on their ambitions. The book looks also at the economics of the costume industry, at patronage, at the etiquette involved in mourning dress, and at the act of dressing itself. Fascinating glimpses into the lives of European monarchs and contemporary potentates reveal the intimate connection between power and the way it is packaged.

Download or read book Architecture and the Late Ottoman Historical Imaginary written by AhmetA. Ersoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While European eclecticism is examined as a critical and experimental moment in western art history, little research has been conducted to provide an intellectual depth of field to the historicist pursuits of late Ottoman architects as they maneuvered through the nineteenth century?s vast inventory of available styles and embarked on a revivalist/Orientalist program they identified as the ?Ottoman Renaissance.? Ahmet A. Ersoy?s book examines the complex historicist discourse underlying this belated ?renaissance? through a close reading of a text conceived as the movement?s canonizing manifesto: the Usul-i Mi?mari-i ?Osmani [The Fundamentals of Ottoman Architecture] (Istanbul, 1873). In its translocal, cross-disciplinary scope, Ersoy?s work explores the creative ways in which the Ottoman authors straddled the art-historical mainstream and their new, self-orientalizing aesthetics of locality. The study reveals how Orientalism was embraced by its very objects, the self-styled ?Orientals? of the modern world, as a marker of authenticity, and a strategically located aesthetic tool to project universally recognizable images of cultural difference. Rejecting the lesser, subsidiary status ascribed to non-western Orientalisms, Ersoy?s work contributes to recent, post-Saidian directions in the study of cultural representation that resituate the field of Orientalism beyond its polaristic core, recognizing its cross-cultural potential as a polyvalent discourse.

Download or read book Istanbul Exchanges written by Mary Roberts and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A vibrant artistic milieu emerged in the late-nineteenth century Istanbul that was extremely heterogeneous, including Ottoman, Ottoman-Armenian, French, Italian, British, Polish and Ottoman-Greek artists. Roberts analyzes the ways artistic output intersected with the broader political agenda of a modernizing Ottoman state. She draws on extensive original research, bringing together sources in Turkey, England, France, Italy, Armenia, Poland and Denmark. Five chapters each address a particular issue related to transcultural exchange across the east-west divide that is focused on a particular case study of art, artistic patronage, and art exhibitions in nineteenth-century Istanbul"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Place in Modern Jewish Culture and Society written by Richard I. Cohen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notions of place have always permeated Jewish life and consciousness. The Babylonian Talmud was pitted against the Jerusalem Talmud; the worlds of Sepharad and Ashkenaz were viewed as two pillars of the Jewish experience; the diaspora was conceived as a wholly different experience from that of Eretz Israel; and Jews from Eastern Europe and "German Jews" were often seen as mirror opposites, whereas Jews under Islam were often characterized pejoratively, especially because of their allegedly uncultured surroundings. Place, or makom, is a strategic opportunity to explore the tensions that characterize Jewish culture in modernity, between the sacred and the secular, the local and the global, the historical and the virtual, Jewish culture and others. The plasticity of the term includes particular geographic places and their cultural landscapes, theological allusions, and an array of other symbolic relations between locus, location, and the production of culture. The 30th volume of Studies in Contemporary Jewry includes twelve essays that deal with various aspects of particular places, making each location a focal point for understanding Jewish life and culture. Scholars from the United States, Europe, and Israel have used their disciplinary skills to shed light on the vicissitudes of the 20th century in relation to place and Jewish culture. Their essays continue the ongoing discussion in this realm and provide further insights into the historiographical turn in Jewish studies.
