One of the glaring weaknesses in the development of global environ- mental history thus far has been its neglect of the Middle East. Similarly, until recently, one of the gaping holes in Middle Eastern historiography has been the treatment of environmental topics. By emphasizing the complex relationships between imperial power and nature, Mikhail introduces a dizzying range of human and nonhuman actors, demon- strating how animals, water, silt, microbes, trees, and volcanoes might recast Under Osmans Tree The Ottoman Empire traditional readings of sultans, bureaucrats, and peasants. Likewise, just as the ecologies of Egypt, Anatolia, and the Balkans were affected by one another, the Ottoman ecosystem was embedded in still wider hydrologic, disease, and cli- matic patterns stretching well beyond the Middle East. To give substance to this holistic vision of the articulations between regional and global scales, Mikhail makes a persuasive case for empiri- cal ballast. While this book is a plea for more cross-pollination be- tween regional and global environmental narratives, it also anticipates the pitfalls inherent in such an endeavor. To provide these building blocks, Mikhail grounds the global signif- icance of his arguments in the fertile soil of his expertise in the ecolo- gies of early-modern Ottoman Egypt.

Parts I and II are de- voted to water management and peasant labor, arguing that irriga- tion in Ottoman Egypt did not result in the kind of Oriental despotism predicted by Wittfogel. Part III explores the role of animals as property, capital, and labor. Animals provided the energy that the Egyptian peasantry and Environmental History 1st edition to feed not just themselves, but the empire as a whole. In part IV, Mikhail analyzes the role of nonhuman things from grain and wood to pathogens and sulfur dioxide. In short, Mikhail offers another trailblazing contribution to the burgeoning field of Middle Eastern environmental history. It is a wel- come addition to advanced undergraduate and graduate syllabi, lay- ing out an ambitious agenda for colleagues working on Middle Eastern and global environmental histories. Even this unfinished work, however, leaves the reader looking forward to where Mikhail will lead the field next. Related Papers. By Cagdas Dedeoglu. The Ottoman Environments Revisited.

Here Mikhail gives voice to not just the people below but all those elements which can claim centrality but cannot really speak for themselves: water, silt, rats, and horses.

Kadın; yeri geldiğinde şefkatli ana oluş, yeri geldiğinde ise; eline kılıç alıp, atına binip, cesurca erlerle birlikte savaşmaktan geri kalmamıştır. Eri ile neredeyse aynı haklara sahip olan Türk kadınına verilen değer abidelerde, yazıtlarda ve destanlarda kendini göstermiştir. Her daim bir otoriteye dâhil olan kadın, siyasi ve sosyal haklarını uzun bir süre korumayı başarmıştır. Türk kadını; Anadolu coğrafyasına ayak basmasından itibaren, var olan ve sonradan var olacak gerek ekonomik, gerekse siyasi hadiseler neticesinde Türkiye Selçuklu Devletinin yıkılışına kadar bir nebze geri planda kalmıştır. Anadolu Beylikleri’nde, Türk kadını eski haklarını ve özgürlüklerini geri almayı başarmıştır. Yeni oluşan siyasi otoriteler arasında yer bulmuştur. Öyle ki yönetime doğrudan katılarak bir bölgenin sorumluluğunu, yani valiliğini üstlenmiştir. Hatunlar bağlı bulundukları siyasal otoritenin hâkimiyetlerini ve devamlılığını sürdürmek için birçok siyasi evliliğe de imza atmış oldukları görülmektedir. Bu evlilikler doğrultusunda iki siyasal güç arasında denge unsuru oluşturmuşlardır. Türk kadınının siyasi varlıkları bunlarla sınırlı kalmamıştır.

  • Mighty Guests of the Throne Note on Transliteration
    Sultan Ahmed III’s calligraphy of the Basmala: “In the Name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate” The Ottoman Sultans Mighty Guests of the Throne Note on Transliteration In this work, words in Ottoman Turkish, including the Turkish names of people and their written works, as well as place-names within the boundaries of present-day Turkey, have been transcribed according to official Turkish orthography. Accordingly, c is read as j, ç is ch, and ş is sh. The ğ is silent, but it lengthens the preceding vowel. I is pronounced like the “o” in “atom,” and ö is the same as the German letter in Köln or the French “eu” as in “peu.” Finally, ü is the same as the German letter in Düsseldorf or the French “u” in “lune.” The anglicized forms, however, are used for some well-known Turkish words, such as Turcoman, Seljuk, vizier, sheikh, and pasha as well as place-names, such as Anatolia, Gallipoli, and Rumelia.

  • Science Versus Religion: the Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960
    Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Serdar Poyraz, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Carter V. Findley, Advisor Jane Hathaway Alan Beyerchen Copyright By Serdar Poyraz 2010 i Abstract My dissertation, entitled “Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960,” is a radical re-evaluation of the history of secularization in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. I argue that European vulgar materialist ideas put forward by nineteenth-century intellectuals and scientists such as Ludwig Büchner (1824-1899), Karl Vogt (1817-1895) and Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893) affected how Ottoman and Turkish intellectuals thought about religion and society, ultimately paving the way for the radical reforms of Kemal Atatürk and the strict secularism of the early Turkish Republic in the 1930s. In my dissertation, I challenge traditional scholarly accounts of Turkish modernization, notably those of Bernard Lewis and Niyazi Berkes, which portray the process as a Manichean struggle between modernity and tradition resulting in a linear process of secularization. On the basis of extensive research in modern Turkish, Ottoman Turkish and Persian sources, I demonstrate that the ideas of such leading westernizing and secularizing thinkers as Münif Pasha (1830-1910), Beşir Fuad (1852-1887) and Baha Tevfik (1884-1914) who were inspired by European materialism provoked spirited religious, philosophical and literary responses from such conservative anti-materialist thinkers as Şehbenderzade ii Ahmed Hilmi (1865-1914), Said Nursi (1873-1960) and Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar (1901- 1962).

  • Legitimizing the Ottoman Sultanate: a Framework for Historical Analysis
    LEGITIMIZING THE OTTOMAN SULTANATE: A FRAMEWORK FOR HISTORICAL ANALYSIS Hakan T. K Harvard University Why Ruled by Them? “Why and how,” asks Norbert Elias, introducing his study on the 18th-century French court, “does the right to exercise broad powers, to make decisions about the lives of millions of people, come to reside for years in the hands of one person, and why do those same people persist in their willingness to abide by the decisions made on their behalf?” Given that it is possible to get rid of monarchs by assassination and, in extreme cases, by a change of dynasty, he goes on to wonder why it never occurred to anyone that it might be possible to abandon the existing form of government, namely the monarchy, entirely.1 The answers to Elias’s questions, which pertain to an era when the state’s absolutism was at its peak, can only be found by exposing the relationship between the ruling authority and its subjects. How the subjects came to accept this situation, and why they continued to accede to its existence, are, in essence, the basic questions to be addressed here with respect to the Ottoman state. One could argue that until the 19th century political consciousness had not yet gone through the necessary secularization process in many parts of the world. This is certainly true, but regarding the Ottoman population there is something else to ponder. The Ottoman state was ruled for Most of the ideas I express here are to be found in the introduction to my doc- toral dissertation (Bamberg, 1997) in considering Ottoman state ceremonies in the 19th century.

YÜZYIL İLK YARISINDA BURSA VAKIFLARI ÖZET Hâle DEMİREL (Yüksek Lisans Tezi) İslâm Tarihi’nin ilk dönemlerinden itibaren Müslümanların sosyal hayatında önemli fonksiyonlar icra eden vakıflar, Osmanlı Devleti döneminde İslâm Medeniyeti’nin köşe taşlarından biri olmuştur. Eğitim, sağlık, din, ticaret gibi insanların ihtiyaç duyduğu hemen her alan vakıfların hizmet sahaları içindedir. Bu çalışma ise Bursa Mahkeme Sicilleri’nde yer alan vakfiyeler ışığında, 16. yy. ilk yarısında Bursa vakıflarını incelemektedir. Vakıflar, vakıf kurucularının sosyal statüleri, vakfedilen mülklerin çeşitleri ve vakıfların hizmet alanlarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Vakıf kurucuları toplumdaki işlevsel rollerine göre gruplandırılırken statüler arasında yatay ve dikey hareketliliğin olduğu görülmektedir. Bu alanda özellikle azatlı kölelerin vakıflara iştirak oranlarının yüksek olması dikkat çekmektedir. Vakfedilen mülkler konusunda çeşitli tartışmaların yapıldığı fakat toplumun ulemâ arasındaki bu polemiklerden etkilenmediği, güçleri nispetinde menkul-gayr-i menkul mülklerini vakfettikleri görülmektedir. Vakıfların hizmet alanları ise vâkıfların niyetlerini yansıtmaktadır. Vakıflar daha çok dinî hizmetlere tahsis edilmekle

SUMMARY The focus of this doctoral thesis is a study of the lives, roles and status of women in early modern England and the Ottoman Empire in the early modern period. In an attempt at investigating the position that women enjoyed in the early modern period, the study focuses on women's status in the religious, political, social, artistic and literary spheres. The thesis concludes with an analysis of all of the above information, resulting in the parallels that can be drawn between the two cultures as regards women and gender issues. An attempt is made at investigating possible causes for the similarities as well as the differences; the extent to which these can be attributed to biased or inaccurate accounts, as well as the extent to which these similarities and distinctions are based on religious doctrines and/or cultural influences.
