Istanbul - Kushta - Constantinople Narratives of Identity in the Ottoman Capital 1830-1930

Istanbul - Kushta - Constantinople Narratives of Identity in the Ottoman Capital 1830-1930

Istanbul – Kushta – Constantinople presents twelve studies that draw on contemporary life narratives that shed light on little explored aspects of nineteenth-century Ottoman Istanbul. As a broad category of personal writing that goes beyond the traditional confines of the autobiography life narratives range from memoirs letters reports travelogues and descriptions of daily life in the city and its different neighborhoods. By focusing on individual experiences and perspectives life narratives allow the historian to transcend rigid political narratives and to recover lost voices especially of those underrepresented groups including women and members of non-Muslim communities. The studies of this volume focus on a variety of narratives produced by Muslim and Christian women by non-Muslims and Muslims as well as by natives and outsiders alike. They dispel European Orientalist stereotypes and cross class divides and ethnic identities. Travel accounts of outsiders provide us with valuable observations of daily life in the city that residents often overlooked. | Istanbul - Kushta - Constantinople Narratives of Identity in the Ottoman Capital 1830-1930

Amateur Hour Presidential Character and the Question of Leadership

Amateur Hour Presidential Character and the Question of Leadership

Moscow and the Non-Russian Republics in the Soviet Union Nomenklatura Intelligentsia and Centre-Periphery Relations

Moscow and the Non-Russian Republics in the Soviet Union Nomenklatura Intelligentsia and Centre-Periphery Relations

This book examines what came to determine the local power and character of the Communist party-state at the level of the national non-Russian republics. It discusses how although the Soviet Union looked centralised and monolithic to outsiders local party-states formed their own fiefdoms and had very considerable influence over many policies areas within their republics. It argues that local party-states were shaped by two decisive relationships - to the central Communist party in Moscow and to local constituencies especially to the local intelligentsia and the creative professions who constituted the local party-states’ biggest potential adversaries. It shows how local party-states negotiated stability and their own survival and contends that the effects of Sovietisation continue to be felt in the independent states which succeeded the republics particularly in the field of the relationship with Moscow which remains of immense importance to these countries. | Moscow and the Non-Russian Republics in the Soviet Union Nomenklatura Intelligentsia and Centre-Periphery Relations

The Tokugawa World

The Tokugawa World

With over 60 contributions The Tokugawa World presents the latest scholarship on early modern Japan from an international team of specialists in a volume that is unmatched in its breadth and scope. In its early modern period under the Tokugawa shoguns Japan was a world apart. For over two centuries the shogun’s subjects were forbidden to travel abroad and few outsiders were admitted. Yet in this period Japan evolved as a nascent capitalist society that could rapidly adjust to its incorporation into the world system after its forced opening in the 1850s. The Tokugawa World demonstrates how Japan’s early modern society took shape and evolved: a world of low and high cultures comic books and Confucian academies soba restaurants and imperial music recitals rigid enforcement of social hierarchy yet also ongoing resistance to class oppression. A world of outcasts puppeteers herbal doctors samurai officials businesswomen scientists scholars blind lutenists peasant rebels tea-masters sumo wrestlers and wage workers. Covering a variety of features of the Tokugawa world including the physical landscape economy art and literature religion and thought and education and science this volume is essential reading for all students and scholars of early modern Japan.

Reimagining Arab Political Identity Justice Women's Rights and the Arab State

Reimagining Arab Political Identity Justice Women's Rights and the Arab State

This book discusses the idea that Arab cultural and political identity has been suppressed by centuries of dominance by imperial outsiders and by religious and nationalist ideologies with the result that present day Arab societies are characterised by a crisis of identity where fundamentalism or chaos seem to be the only available choices. Tracing developments from pre-Islamic times through to the present the book analyses the evolution of Arab political identity through a multi-layered lens including memory and forgetting social and cultural norms local laws poetry dance attitudes to women foreigners and animals ancient historical narratives and more. It argues that Arab societies have much to gain by recovering the happy memory of Arab culture as it was before being distorted. | Reimagining Arab Political Identity Justice Women's Rights and the Arab State

Rethinking Liberalism for the 21st Century The Skeptical Radicalism of Judith Shklar

Rethinking Liberalism for the 21st Century The Skeptical Radicalism of Judith Shklar

Rethinking Liberalism for the 21st Century offers an indispensable reexamination of the life work and interventions of a prominent liberal political theorist of the 20th century: Judith Shklar. Drawing on published and unpublished sources including Shklar’s correspondence lecture notes and other manuscripts Giunia Gatta presents a fresh theoretical interpretation of Shklar’s liberalism as philosophically and politically radical. Beginning with a thorough reconstruction of Shklar’s life and her interest in political theory Gatta turns her attention to examining the tension between Shklar’s critique of the term modernity and her passion for Enlightenment thinkers including Rousseau and Hegel. In the second part of the book Gatta roots Shklar’s liberalism of permanent minorities in her work in the history of political thought and highlights this contribution as a fundamental recasting of liberalism as the political philosophy of outsiders. She makes a compelling argument for a liberalism of permanent minorities that refuses to stand on the ground of firm foundations and instead is oriented by complex understandings of cruelty and fear. Rethinking Liberalism for the 21st Century is a much-needed reorientation of traditional liberal policies allowing for a more meaningful intervention in many contemporary debates. As such it will be of interest to scholars of political theory the history of political thought and ideas philosophy international relations and political science in general. | Rethinking Liberalism for the 21st Century The Skeptical Radicalism of Judith Shklar

Resisting Rape Culture The Hebrew Bible and Hong Kong Sex Workers

Resisting Rape Culture The Hebrew Bible and Hong Kong Sex Workers

Resisting Rape Culture tackles controversial and harrowing rape myths prevalent in rape culture: namely that sex workers do not get raped and that they are deserving victims of sexual violence. Commonly sociocultural discourses depict sex workers as morally deficient and promiscuous having sex with multiple clients in exchange for payment. Consequently they are often considered deserving of rape sexual assault and other forms of abuse or as people who should expect to receive such treatment. In a way the Hebrew Bible contributes to such stigmatization of and discrimination against sex workers given first its authority and second its negative portrayals of prostitutes as outsiders. This cutting-edge book describes the rape culture in Hong Kong focusing on how Hong Kong Christians interpret the Bible concerning prostitutes and in turn how this affects the treatment of sex workers. Arguably when interpretations malign the prostitutes in the Bible and do not critique how the Bible portrays these women we promote the stigmatization of sex workers and in doing so normalise and trivialise sexual discrimination abuse and violence ultimately promoting rape culture. | Resisting Rape Culture The Hebrew Bible and Hong Kong Sex Workers

Latins Greeks and Muslims: Encounters in the Eastern Mediterranean 10th-15th Centuries

Latins Greeks and Muslims: Encounters in the Eastern Mediterranean 10th-15th Centuries

Trade shipping military conquest migration and settlement in the eastern Mediterranean of the 10th-15th centuries generated multiple encounters between states social and 'national' groups and individuals belonging to Latin Christianity Byzantium and the Islamic world. The nature of these encounters varied widely depending on whether they were the result of cooperation rivalry or clashes between states the outcome of Latin conquest which altered the social and legal status of indigenous subjects or the result of economic activity. They had wide-ranging social and economic repercussions and shaped both individual and collective perceptions and attitudes. These often differed depending upon 'nationality' standing within the dominant or subject social strata or purely economic considerations. In any event at the individual level common economic interests transcended collective 'national' and cultural boundaries except in times of crisis. The studies in this latest collection by David Jacoby explore the multiple facets of these eastern Mediterranean encounters and their impact upon individual economic activities with special attention to the 'other' outsiders in foreign environments foreign privileged versus indigenous traders the link between governmental intervention 'naturalization' and fiscal status as well as the interaction between markets and peasants. | Latins Greeks and Muslims: Encounters in the Eastern Mediterranean 10th-15th Centuries

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The publication in 1988 of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses triggered a furor that pitted much of the Islamic world against the West over issues of blasphemy and freedom of expression. The controversy soon took on the aspect of a confrontation of civilizations provoking powerful emotions on a global level. It involved censorship protests riots a break in diplomatic relations culminating in the notorious Iranian edict calling for the death of the novelist. In The Rushdie Affair Daniel Pipes explains why the publication of The Satanic Verses became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences. Pipes looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and cultural aspects and shows in considerable detail what the fundamentalists perceived as so offensive in The Satanic Verses as against what Rushdie's novel actually said. Pipes explains how the book created a new crisis between Iran and the West at the time-disrupting international diplomacy billions of dollars in trade and prospects for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon. Pipes maps out the long-term implications of the crisis. If the Ayatollah so easily intimidated the West can others do the same? Can millions of fundamentalist Muslims now living in the United States and Europe possibly be assimilated into a culture so alien to them? Insightful and brilliantly written this volume provides a full understanding of one of the most significant events in recent years. Koenraad Elst's postscript reviews the enduring impact of the Rushdie affair. | The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates is an accessible history of the Near East from c. 600 to 1050 AD the period in which Islamic society was formed. Beginning with the life of Muhammad and the birth of Islam Hugh Kennedy goes on to explore the great Arab conquests of the seventh century and the golden age of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates when the world of Islam was politically and culturally far more developed than the West. The crisis of the tenth century put an end to the political unity of the Muslim world and saw the emergence of the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt and independent dynasties in the Eastern Islamic world. The book concludes with the advent of Seljuk Turkish rule in the mid-eleventh century. This new edition is fully updated to take into account recent research and there are two entirely new chapters covering the economic background during the period and the north-east of Iran in the post Abbasid period. Based on extensive reading of the original Arabic sources Kennedy breaks away from the Orientalist tradition of seeing early Islamic history as a series of ephemeral rulers and pointless battles by drawing attention to underlying long-term social and economic processes. The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates deals with issues of continuing and increasing relevance in the twenty-first century when it is perhaps more important than ever to understand the early development of the Islamic world. Students and scholars of early Islamic history will find this book a clear informative and readable introduction to the subject. | The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives analyses a large body of Victorian literary texts dealing with the topic of Catholicism and Catholics written from the non-Catholic perspective. The readings of these texts are inspired by psychoanalytic criticism primarily by the work of Freud and Kristeva. Kristeva’s work on abjection the paradoxical repulsion mixed with attraction provides the framework for the first part of the book which argues that Victorian depictions of Catholicism exhibit the same mixture of fascination and attraction. The second part of the book is constructed largely around Freud’s idea of the uncanny showing how Catholicism was cast in the role of the archaic religion profoundly strange and yet at the same time somehow familiar. The book includes the readings of a number of Victorian authors both canonical (Charlotte Brontë William Thackeray Charles Dickens) and lesser-known ones (George Borrow John Shorthouse Mrs Humphry Ward). The book will be of interest to scholars of cultural literary and religious studies as well as to readers interested in the matters of religion in literature and religious prejudice. | The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel
