Habitual understandings, very much stemming from Occidental hegemony and an overwhelmingly European-derived set of definitions and perspectives are clearly insufficient. Events since 2011, and the continuing war in Syria, point to deeper rhythms in the political composition of the present – for example, the rarely acknowledged colonial construction of this geo-political space – and the urgent necessity of elaborating a new lexicon and language with which to interpret it. Rather than simply seeking to respond to the existing state of Mediterranean affairs and subsequently adjust inherited maps and understandings to meet new circumstances, we perhaps need to change key and shift our critical resources into an altogether less protected space. When events, subsequently known as the “Arab Spring”, broke out in North Africa in 2011, Western government and media were taken largely unawares. Autocratic governments, implementing the neo-liberal directives of the IMF, and fully supported by Occidental power, rapidly and spectacularly came undone. The pressure of public protests, voicing a social and political lexicon through technique and technology that the West could not fail to recognize, disrupted the expectancies of most accredited observers. Insisting on freedom to publicly acknowledge poverty and the negation of civil rights could not be easily disavowed in public cultures that from Berlin to Baltimore were rhetorically steeped in the liberty of expression. The media scrambled around for labels to frame the events and render them intelligible to Western eyes. Eventually the frames of analysis were rolled out and Occidental definitions once again secured, particularly as events on the ground were eventually pushed back into older political patterns of alliances, partnerships and interventions. Revolt and revolution were set in perspective (whose?) to be defined, disciplined by a dented but still robust Occidental policing and politics. viii Politics. Rivista di Studi Politici (5), 1/2016 What is perhaps worth pointing out here is that these recent events – even (with the exception of Tunisia) if they are seemingly rolled back into their older authoritarian coordinates in Egypt or else become a microcosm of a regional war in Syria – open up a far deeper rent in the explanatory tissue than area studies, political science and their realpolitick continue to measure and peddle. When the languages, lexicons and technologies of the West are deployed to contest precisely the political arrangements that the West itself has historically and culturally supported and encouraged in the pursuit of allies and its particular interests then the existing coordinates of comprehension can no longer simply pass unchallenged. The maps, the models and methodologies – no matter how “objective” and “scientific” they pretend to be – cannot be permitted to escape revaluation, even critical dismantling. The waves unleashed by crisis also wash through the languages of apprehension and explanation. Of course, in critical honesty, we have to register that none of this has publicly been registered. It has certainly not been translated into a significant political or cultural shift. Occidental government continues to treat the multiple souths of the world in a neocolonial manner, betraying the deep-seated colonial configurations of the present. The dismal social sciences continue to exercise their authority untroubled by dissent voices and refusals to respect their verdicts. Europe remains the template, its model of revolution and change (these days monumentalized in the moribund remains of eighteenth century liberal constitutionalism) was not enacted in Egypt. The failures of North African rebellion and revolt (subsequently aggravated by Western intervention in Libya and Syria) only endorse the time scale of “progress”: the time not yet ripe, the actors not yet mature. And yet this linear fashioning of reasoning,

  • Orhan Kolog˘Lu RENEGADES and the CASE ULUÇ/KILIÇ ALI ·
    Orhan Kolog˘lu RENEGADES AND THE CASE · ULUÇ/KILIÇ ALI In the history of the Mediterranean region, the Renegade of the Christians who becomes a Mühtedi by joining the Muslim religion, has played an important role. In European languages the Renegade is the person who abandons Christianity for a different faith. The Mühtedi, on the other hand, according to Muslim and Turkish communities, is the person of another faith who embraces Islam. Since Islam began to spread 600 years after Christianity, it gathered its early followers among pagans, a few Jews but especially Christians. Its rapid spread over Syria, Egypt, North Africa, Sicily, Spain and into central France indicates that all Mediterranean communities were largely affected by the religion. Christianity, which had become the domineering and ruling faith through Papacy and the Byzantine Empire, was now lar- gely disturbed by this competitor. For this reason, it was only natural that both sides scrutinized the Renegade/Mühtedi very closely. The concern of one side in losing a believer matched the concern of the other side in preventing the loss of the Mühtedi, who is then called a Mürted (apostate, the verb is irtidad). European research on this subject outweighs the research done by Muslims, because renegades had not only been, quantitative-wise, many times more than mürteds, but also they played more important roles as history-makers in the Mediterranean. Muslim indifference to their past is easily understandable because the interest was focused only on their activities as Muslims. However, European research bears the mark of the Christian perspective and has a reactionary approach.

Il primo luogo è Padova ed in particolare il Dipartimento Morandini di Geografia. Qui ho potuto fin da subito percepire lo spirito di solidarietà e di collaborazione esistente tra i dottorandi dell’indirizzo Uomo e Ambiente, oggi Geografia fisica e umana. Quest’atmosfera ha permesso di costruire negli anni delle profonde relazioni senza le quali il mio lavoro non sarebbe stato possibile. Ai miei colleghi dottorandi (anche se dovrei dire alle mie colleghe, dato che per i primi due anni eravamo solo tra donne) va il primo ringraziamento per l’aiuto e il sostegno datomi, per le appassionate discussioni e scambi di libri, materiali, informazioni e idee, e per il sostegno del mio lavoro a distanza di cui ringrazio, in particolare, Sandro Rossato per la pazienza dimostrata nei momenti finali della redazione. All’inizio della mia esperienza padovana, il mio supervisore, la professoressa Marina Bertoncin, mi ha proposto di entrare a far parte di un gruppo di ricerca legato al progetto di Ateneo “Definizione di un modello di analisi e valutazione della territorialità dei progetti di sviluppo”.

  • Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan
    Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan The relationship between the Ottomans and the Christians did not evolve around continuous hostility and conflict, as is generally assumed. The Ottomans employed Christians extensively, used Western know-how and technology, and en- couraged European merchants to trade in the Levant. On the state level, too, what dictated international diplomacy was not the religious factors, but rather rational strategies that were the results of carefully calculated priorities, for in- stance, several alliances between the Ottomans and the Christian states. All this cooperation blurred the cultural bound- aries and facilitated the flow of people, ideas, technologies and goods from one civilization to another. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Christians in the Service of the Ottomans 3. Ottoman Alliances with the Christian States 4. Conclusion 5. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Citation Introduction Cooperation between the Ottomans and various Christian groups and individuals started as early as the beginning of the 14th century, when the Ottoman state itself emerged. The Ottomans, although a Muslim polity, did not hesitate to cooperate with Christians for practical reasons. Nevertheless, the misreading of the Ghaza (Holy War) literature1 and the consequent romanticization of the Ottomans' struggle in carrying the banner of Islam conceal the true nature of rela- tions between Muslims and Christians. Rather than an inevitable conflict, what prevailed was cooperation in which cul- tural, ethnic, and religious boundaries seemed to disappear. Ÿ1 The Ottomans came into contact and allied themselves with Christians on two levels. Firstly, Christian allies of the Ot- tomans were individuals; the Ottomans employed a number of Christians in their service, mostly, but not always, after they had converted.

  • Sous Le Toit De L'empire, La Régence De Tunis 1535
    Comptes rendus d’ouvrages Leila TEMIME BLILI : Sous le toit de l’Empire, la Régence de Tunis 1535 – 1666, Genèse d’une province ottomane au Maghreb, Tunis, éditions Script, 2012, 365 p. Le livre de Dr. Blili, par son texte souvent descriptif et narratif, ses chapitres assez courts et divisés en sections, et par l’emploi d’une transcription simple pour les mots arabes, révèle le souci de l’auteure d’atteindre, au-delà du noyau académique visé par toute recherche, le commun des lecteurs. Ambition louable, et il existe, dans la littérature historique, des exemples réussis d’ouvrages qui s’adressent au large public afin de l’engager dans une réflexion sur l’histoire de la société à laquelle il appartient (ou de toute autre société), et qui allient la simplicité du texte à la rigueur de la méthode. Le sujet d’étude de Dr. Blili, comme elle l’indique dans l’introduction de l’ouvrage, est celui de la formation sociale et territoriale de l’entité tunisienne à l’aube des temps modernes, et porte sur une période couvrant la plus grande partie du seizième siècle et la première moitié du dix-septième. Cette analyse a pour corollaire, direct ou implicite, l’évaluation de la présence et de l’influence de l’empire ottoman, qui étendit sa domination sur le Maghreb central et oriental durant cette période - thème qui, jusqu’à assez récemment, n’a bénéficié que d’une attention superficielle dans l’historiographie de la Tunisie ottomane -, mais qui est mis en exergue dans le titre de l’ouvrage de Dr.

Although they were meant to complement the text, the difficulty and the cost of production limited the number of illustrations in any given book. Consequently, frontispieces acquired a special importance, not unlike heraldic or emblem- atic imagery, as they were often the only visual state- ment of the content of the book. They frequently employed elaborate iconography which allowed au- thors, with the help of their engravers, to transform their written accounts into symbolic codification.
