Download or read book The Yezidis written by Birgül Açikyildiz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yezidism is a fascinating part of the rich cultural mosaic of the Middle East. The Yezidi faith emerged for the first time in the twelfth century in the Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq. The religion, which has become notorious for its associations with 'devil worship', is in fact an intricate syncretic system of belief, incorporating elements from proto-Indo-European religions, early Iranian faiths like Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, Sufism and regional paganism like Mithraism. Birgul Acikyildiz here offers a comprehensive appraisal of Yezidi religion, society and culture. Written without presupposing any prior knowledge about Yezidism, and in an accessible and readable style, her book examines Yezidis not only from a religious point of view but as a historical and social phenomenon. She throws light on the origins of Yezidism, and charts its development and changing fortunes - from its beginnings to the present- as part of the general history of the Kurds. Her book is the first to place Yezidism in its complete geographical setting in Northern Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Transcaucasia. The author describes the Yezidi belief system (which considers Tawusi Melek - the 'Peacock Angel' - to be ruler of the earth) and its religious practices and observances, analysing the most important facets of Yezidi religious art and architecture (including funerary monuments and zoomorphic tombstones) and their relationship to their neighbours throughout the Middle East. Acikyildiz also explores the often misunderstood connections between Yezidism and the Satan/Sheitan of Christian and Muslim tradition. Richly illustrated, with accompanying maps, photographs and illustrations, this pioneering book will have strong appeal to all those with an interest in the culture of the Kurds, as well as the wider region.

Download or read book Alevism as an Ethno Religious Identity written by Celia Jenkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently the importance of religion in the modern world has often been underestimated in Western societies, whereas its significance is absolutely crucial in the Middle East. Religion is critical to a sense of belonging for communities and nations, and can be a force for unity or division. This is the case for the Alevis, an ethnic and religious community that constitutes approximately 20% of the Turkish population – its second largest religious group. In the current crisis in the Middle East, the heightened religious tensions between Sunnis, Shias and Alawites raise questions about who the Alevis are and where they stand in this conflict. With an ambiguous relationship to Islam, historically Alevis have been treated as a ‘suspect community’ in Turkey and recently, whilst distinct from Alawites, have sympathised with the Assad regime’s secular orientation. The chapters in this book analyse different aspects of Alevi identity in relation to religion, politics, culture, education and national identity, drawing on specialist research in the field. The approach is interdisciplinary and contributes to wider debates concerning ethnicity, religion, migration and trans/national identity within and across ethno-religious boundaries. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the National Identities journal.

Download or read book International Symposium on East Anatolia South Caucasus Cultures written by Janette Tripp Bailey and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Caucasus is a region of great historical, cultural and strategic importance, which means that it has become an indispensable research field for most of the social sciences, particularly archaeology. However, despite its rich potential, research in the areas of modern-day Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Nakhichevan, North-western Iran and North-eastern Turkey has been inadequate when compared with other important culture basins such as Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean. In October 2012, Atatürk University in Erzurum, North-eastern Anatolia, Turkey, with the patronage of the Eurasian Silk Road Universities Consortium (ESRUC), hosted a Symposium of academics from more than 120 science and education institutions around the world to discuss opinions and share information about cultures in this region from its earliest times to the Middle Ages, within the scope of Ancient History, Archaeology, Art History, and Ethno-archaeology. This two volume publication is a compilation of 75 articles, which were evaluated and selected by an Academic Committee, from contributors who presented their academic papers at the Symposium.

Download or read book Migration und Ritualtransfer written by Robert Langer and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2005 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Transfer von Ritualen über historische Zeiträume, gesellschaftliche und religiöse Grenzen hinweg ist ein neues Forschungsgebiet der Islamwissenschaft. Da Migration und die damit einhergehende Entstehung transnationaler Religionsgemeinschaften solche Transferphänomene befördert, verlangt dieses Forschungsgebiet Methodenpluralismus und die Kooperation mit anderen Disziplinen wie der Religionswissenschaft, der Soziologie und der Ethnologie. Dieser Band versammelt die erweiterten Beiträge des Symposions «Migration und Ritualtransfer: Religiöse Minderheiten zwischen islamischer Welt und westlicher Diaspora». Die Tagung wurde vom islamwissenschaftlichen Teilprojekt «Ritualtransfer» des Sonderforschungsbereichs 619 «Ritualdynamik» der Universität Heidelberg veranstaltet. Zentrales Thema der Beiträge ist der Transfer von Ritualen bei Aleviten, Jesiden und Nusairiern zwischen Herkunfts- und Diasporagemeinden sowie die Untersuchung der damit einhergehenden Transformationen der religiösen Praxis.

Download or read book Architecture and Landscape in Medieval Anatolia 1100 1500 written by Patricia Blessing and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatolia was home to a large number of polities in the medieval period. Given its location at the geographical and chronological juncture between Byzantines and the Ottomans, its story tends to be read through the Seljuk experience. This obscures the multiple experiences and spaces of Anatolia under the Byzantine empire, Turko-Muslim dynasties contemporary to the Seljuks, the Mongol Ilkhanids, and the various beyliks of eastern and western Anatolia. This book looks beyond political structures and towards a reconsideration of the interactions between the rural and the urban; an analysis of the relationships between architecture, culture and power; and an examination of the region's multiple geographies. In order to expand historiographical perspectives it draws on a wide variety of sources (architectural, artistic, documentary and literary), including texts composed in several languages (Arabic, Armenian, Byzantine Greek, Persian and Turkish). Original in its coverage of this period from the perspective of multiple polities, religions and languages, this volume is also the first to truly embrace the cultural complexity that was inherent in the reality of daily life in medieval Anatolia and surrounding regions.

Download or read book Kizilbash Alevis in Ottoman Anatolia written by Karakaya-Stump Ayfer Karakaya-Stump and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kizilbash were at once key players in and the foremost victims of the Ottoman-Safavid conflict that defined the early modern Middle East. Today referred to as Alevis, they constitute the second largest faith community in modern Turkey, with smaller pockets of related groups in the Balkans. Yet several aspects of their history remain little understood or explored. This first comprehensive socio-political history of the Kizilbash/Alevi communities uses a recently surfaced corpus of sources generated within their milieu. It offers fresh answers to many questions concerning their origins and evolution from a revolutionary movement to an inward-looking religious order.
