Because there is no Muslim state authority to consult, local imams and Islamic leaders can resort to a community-led practice known as khulʿ (divorce initiated by the woman) to dissolve an Islamic marriage (nikāḥ) that is not recognized by civil authorities. In this article, which is the culmination of three years of fieldwork in Germany, I analyze and interpret the views and practices of two groups of religious actors - conservatives and pragmatists - towards khulʿ in cases of nikāḥ. I find that conservatives only permit a woman to divorce through khulʿ with her husband’s consent, whereas pragmatists use Muslim minority jurisprudence (fiqh al-aqalliyyāt al-Muslima) to argue that

    MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WORKING PAPERS Working Paper No. 50 CHRIS HANN HISTORY AND ETHNICITY IN ANATOLIA Halle / Saale 2003 ISSN 1615-4568 Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, P.O. Box 110351, 06017 Halle / Saale, Phone: +49 (0)345 2927-0, Fax: +49 (0)345 2927-402, http://www.eth.mpg.de, e-mail: [email protected] 1 History and Ethnicity in Anatolia Chris Hann1 Abstract This paper begins by sketching a simplified intellectual context for the author’s recent monographic study of a region in north-east Turkey (Bellér-Hann and Hann 2000). The scope is then gradually widened. First, it is shown how more historically oriented research can provide insight into the social organization of the region in question, and in particular, into the nature of ethnic identity. Contrary to some common assumptions, ethnicity seems to have been de- emphasized in the later Ottoman period, when the people of this periphery were already well integrated into the state system. Second, again drawing on recent publications by other scholars, the paper reviews the question of ethnicity in Anatolia generally. The Turkish republic has often been criticized for its failure to recognize ethnic groups, and is likely to come under increasing pressure to recognize the rights of ‘cultural minorities’, e.g. in negotiations over EU entry. Within anthropology, however, there is no consensus as to how recognition of group diversity should be translated into political practice. Key terms such as ‘culture’ and ‘ethnicity’ have become unstable. According to Barth’s influential discussion (1969), ethnicity classifies a person ‘in terms of his basic, most general identity’.

He graduated from the University of Munich in 1970 when he successfully defended his dissertation Linguis- tische Analyse des arabischen Dialekts der Mhallamiye in der Provinz Mardin (Südost- türkei) (Linguistic Analysis of the Arabic Dialect of Mhallami in Mardin Province, South- ern Turkey), see 1971a. Between 1972 and 1977, he worked as a research assistant at the Institute of General and Indo-European Linguistics at the University of Munich. Here he habilitated in 1975 in the field of general linguistics with his work on the morphoph- onology of the Galab language (also known as Daasanach; see 1974a), and already in 1977 he was appointed a full professor of general and typological linguistics. In the 1970s, he travelled to Ethiopia and Kenya where he performed field research on the languages Quimant, Daasanach (Galab), Boni, Dullay and Burji. In the 1980s, he studied the Albanian dialects of Northern Greece where he gained both material for a unique monograph (1991a) and a wife. In 1987, he accepted an offer from the University of Cologne and went there to lead the Institute of General and Comparative Linguistics, where he would remain for the next 21 years.

First words go to my first teachers: My parents, Zuhair and Suzan Subuh. My father has not lived to see the completion of my thesis, but his spirit and my mother’s love, support, and care have always given me the strength for this achievement and have been always the key to my success. Thanks also go to my brother and sisters for their sustained support and care throughout all phases of my life. My deep appreciation goes to the one, without him this thesis and the entire Master’s de- gree would have not been accomplished, to my beloved husband, Mohammed AbuJarour. Without his persistence and endurance, without his patience during the last few years, which have been not easy for you, without his great love and constant support, which made my life so complete, without being a great reader and listener in terms of academic work, without the long discussions we had about many parts and issues related to my re- search and thesis, without being a great source of inspiration, I would have not reached this moment of acknowledging the greatest love I have ever known.

  • The Functional Categories and Phrase Structure of Sason Arabic
    THE FUNCTIONAL CATEGORIES AND PHRASE STRUCTURE OF SASON ARABIC FARUK AKKUŞ BOĞAZİÇİ UNIVERSITY 2014 THE FUNCTIONAL CATEGORIES AND PHRASE STRUCTURE OF SASON ARABIC Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Linguistics by Faruk Akkuş Boğaziçi University 2014 The Functional Categories and Phrase Structure of Sason Arabic The thesis of Faruk Akkuş has been approved by: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Balkız Öztürk _____________ (Thesis Advisor) Prof. Dr. Elabbas Benmamoun _____________ Assoc. Prof. Dr. Meltem Kelepir _____________ June 2014 Thesis Abstract Faruk Akkuş, “The Functional Categories and Phrase Structure of Sason Arabic” The study aims to investigate primarily the functional categories and the phrase structure of Sason Arabic. Adopting the main premises of the Minimalist Program, I analyze the syntactic representations of functional projections, relying on the morphological properties of the language. Sason Arabic displays different properties across sentence types, hence following Akkuş and Benmamoun (2014) I argue that Sason Arabic exhibits both the head initial and head final properties. In this study, the initial step was to examine the tense projection with the aim of explaining the morpho-syntactic properties of elements that can occupy it. The description of tense elements and the verbal morphology led to the analysis of the syntax of complex tense in SA. Based on the discussion of several instances of tense syncretism, mainly following Stowell 1996, 2005, Giorgi and Pianesi 1997, I argued for a bi-layeral TP analysis, where the lower layer projects two separate Ts. The main motivations for this analysis came from the past particle kə-, exclusive to SA, and the different function of kwn from other Arabic varieties.

  • Kurds Endure Poverty, Grapple with Assimilation February 09, 2012 02
    Kurds endure poverty, grapple with assimilation By Brooke Anderson BEIRUT: As a teenager in a rural area of predominantly Kurdish southeast Turkey, Bahaeddin Hassan heard of a far-off, beautiful place called Lebanon. He was starstruck. At 15, he traveled overland through Syria to Beirut. Lebanon was not quite the paradise he had hoped for. Life was harsh, and for many years Hassan took whatever odd jobs came his way. Today, at 57, having become a Lebanese citizen who has found fulfilling and lucrative work as a clothing exporter, he says he has stayed in his adopted land because it is indeed beautiful. But he laments the hardships many of his fellow Lebanese Kurds continue to endure. “We got nationality, but we didn’t get anything else,” says Hassan, president of the Lebanese Kurdish Philanthropic Association. “No one protects or defends us. No one hears our voices.” «“the naturalized are... ‘prisoners’ of the one thing that should have freed them -- their citizenship, because many believe that they owe their citizenship to one politician or other.”»While most of Lebanon’s Kurds have become citizens, many have yet to feel truly at home within Lebanese society because the community continues to struggle with low education, high unemployment and lack of political representation. Sitting in her home under a roof cobbled together out of scrap metal and tires, Fadia Mahmoud Ismail, 41, says she is proud of her Kurdish heritage, although she wouldn’t consider leaving Lebanon, which has been her home since she came to Beirut as a 13-year-old bride, a conflicted sentiment echoed by many in the community.
