INTRODUCTION The aim of the current work is to offer a detailed analysis of the manners in which Ottomans were represented in sixteenth-century Hungarian literature, in particular in vernacular Hungarian literary discourses. The “Turks” often appeared in various forums of cultural discourse and public discussion in Hungary as the stereotypical enemy, which image was nourished by religious texts (both Protestant and Catholic) and historiographical sources. At the same time, descriptions of campaigns of the constantly expanding Ottoman Empire provided new kinds of information and experience. Further, under the Ottoman rule there were longer periods when the Ottomans and Hungarians lived together through necessity, not in an explicitly peaceful, but in a balanced relationship, creating a unique platform of cultural exchange between the occupiers and the occupied. In more or less peaceful periods – for instance, between the “fortress campaign” of Suleyman (1549–66) and the Long Turkish War (1593–1606) – the everyday interactions of CEU eTD Collection Ottomans and Hungarians were determined by a peculiar mix of rivalry and curiosity towards each other in both military acts and cultural encounters. This novel experience resulted in novel perceptions. The representations of the Ottomans varied 1 “I see many chronicles written, / About the lives of great lords, / And deaths of strong soldiers, / Teaching about perils and armies. // These writings are enjoyed by the lords, / And they amuse literates, / Nobles, communes and teachers, / To hear about nice things about past times.” Lőrinc Vajdakamarási, A jövendő rettenetes ítélet napjáról, 1-8. 4 DOI number: 10.14754/CEU.2016.07 along several axes: they were dependent on the cultural and social context; on the author who created or mediated the image, and on the audience for whom the image was made; and on the depicted subject. The goal of this dissertation is to analyze the features, similarities and differences presented by different authors for different audiences: I aimed at collecting and analyzing depictions of Ottomans in poetically constructed texts in the vernacular Hungarian literature of the sixteenth century Hungary. Due to the spread of the printing press and Protestantism, transformations of language and literacy, and because of other developments that will be addressed later, the second half of the sixteenth century corresponds to the period in Hungarian cultural history when vernacular literature emerged and its specific forms and rules evolved. The analysis of the representational patterns of Ottomans and their contextualization has the potential to help reconstruct this process. 1. 1. Definitions and Limitations To clarify the boundaries of the project, definitions and limitations can be applied through the terms of the title. The term “Ottoman” refers to groups of people or individuals who were, or were considered to be related to the Ottoman Empire by religious, ethnic, military, political, linguistic, or by other kinds of criteria by those who observed them. For contemporary authors, but also for today’s observers, “Turkishness was a multifaceted and changing identity,” as Norman Housley put it.2 The terms “poetry” and “literature” are used in this work reflecting the transitionary character of the concepts: in the sixteenth century vernacular literature just started to acquire its own forms and norms. The contemporary concept of literature was multifaceted: literature fulfilled various CEU eTD Collection functions, such as education, memorization and entertainment, however, the function of aesthetic experience had not been yet formulated. Accordingly, every written source belongs to the wider concept of literature. One may narrow the corpus based on formal criteria: the distinction of prosaic and versified forms seems an adequate approach. However, as the clear differentiation of epic and 2 Norman Housley, “The Three Turks,” in Religious Warfare in Europe, 1400–1536 (New York: Oxford University Press, 2002), 131. 5 DOI number: 10.14754/CEU.2016.07 lyric genres was a process that also had not been concluded yet, there is substantial overlapping of literary forms and functions. Taking into consideration these features, an articulate definition of the main source corpus for the research is based on form, function and subject: the corpus I study consists of versified texts with various subjects (narrative or religious content), all of which reflect on the Ottoman presence in Hungary. This corpus consists of approx. 160 items,3 a number that is sufficient to find representational patterns. In the course of the sixteenth century, Hungary had been subject to constant changes along it’s borders, therefore, the geographical framework for the research reflects these shifting conditions. First of all, special attention is to be paid to the defense line and the border areas, which had a special cultural milieu as the result of constant military movements and diverse cultural influences. The frontier zone, being transitional between two or more states politically, was also transitional in the manners of interactions of its population.4 Trade, taxation, military encounters and cultural practices connected people in the border zone. In the case of the frontiers of the Ottoman Empire, the actual demarcation line was only a theoretical construction, while in practice, the border was a wider zone, the limits of which were marked by fortifications. This is why fortress sieges characterized the profile of Ottoman expansion, and on occasion, defined the character of entire campaigns, such as in the case of the “fortress wars” between 1549 and 1566. Everyday interactions with the Turks created a unique type of cultural discourse based on different types of relations ranging from fighting to fraternities. At the same time, despite the division of the former kingdom into three parts, Hungarian cultural discourse did not cease to exist. Rather, each geographical unit developed its own patterns of representation and discourse. Therefore, texts from all of the parts of CEU eTD Collection tripartite Hungary: Transylvania, Royal Hungary and the Ottoman Hungary will be considered. The idea of Hungary as an entity also requires clarification. The kingdom had a heterogenous 3 A list of primary sources is presented in the bibliography. 4 Mark L. Stein, Guarding the Frontier.

  • How Was the Traditional Makam Theory Westernized for the Sake of Modernization?
    Rast Müzikoloji Dergisi, 2018, 6 (1): 1769-1787 Original research https://doi.org/10.12975/pp1769-1787 Özgün araştırma How was the traditional makam theory westernized for the sake of modernization? Okan Murat Öztürk Ankara Music and Fine Arts University, Department of Musicology, Ankara, Turkey [email protected] Abstract In this article, the transformative interventions of those who want to modernize the tradition- al makam theory in Westernization process experienced in Turkey are discussed in historical and critical context. The makam is among the most basic concepts of Turkish music as well as the Eastern music. In order to analyze the issue correctly in conceptual framework, here, two basic ‘music theory approaches' have been distinguished in terms of the musical elements they are based on: (i.) ‘scale-oriented’ and, (ii.) ‘melody-oriented’. The first typically represents the conception of Western harmonic tonality, while the second also represents the traditional Turkish makam conception before the Westernization period. This period is dealt with in three phases: (i.) the traditional makam concept before the ‘modernization’, (ii.) transformative interventions in the modernization phase, (iii.) recent new and critical approaches. As makam theory was used once in the history of Turkey, to convey a traditional heritage, it had a peculi- ar way of practice and education in its own cultural frame. It is determined that three different theoretical models based on mathematics, philosophy or composition had been used to explain the makams. In the 19th century, Turkish modernization was resulted in a stage in which a desire to ‘resemble to the West’ began to emerge.

The prose texts have been READING selected in such a way that they are best interpreted through these the- oretical approaches. Specifically, they turn on processes whereby the (gendered) subjects are performatively constructed, while characters, THROUGH often informed by rhetorical processes and structures, are formed via NIKő BOLLO their interactions with others. The poetic texts are interpreted within E the frames of poetological paradigms that problematize referentiality, THEORY self-expressivity, and performativity. The approach of “reading through theory” might be called ekphrastic, STUDIES IN THEORY-frAMED INTERPRETATION where theory acts as a filter through which we read literature. Theory OF THE LITERARY TEXT is put in the service of interpretation, while its use or usefulness is also tested in the process of critical reading. In other words, not only does the text demand the theory, but also the theory demands the text.

    Munich Personal RePEc Archive A study of Muslim economic thinking in the 11th A.H. / 17th C.E. century Islahi, Abdul Azim Islamic Economics Institute, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, KSA 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/75431/ MPRA Paper No. 75431, posted 06 Dec 2016 02:55 UTC Abdul Azim Islahi Islamic Economics Research Center King Abdulaziz University Scientific Publising Centre King Abdulaziz University P.O. Box 80200, Jeddah, 21589 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia FOREWORD There are numerous works on the history of Islamic economic thought. But almost all researches come to an end in 9th AH/15th CE century. We hardly find a reference to the economic ideas of Muslim scholars who lived in the 16th or 17th century, in works dealing with the history of Islamic economic thought. The period after the 9th/15th century remained largely unexplored. Dr. Islahi has ventured to investigate the periods after the 9th/15th century. He has already completed a study on Muslim economic thinking and institutions in the 10th/16th century (2009). In the mean time, he carried out the study on Muslim economic thinking during the 11th/17th century, which is now in your hand. As the author would like to note, it is only a sketch of the economic ideas in the period under study and a research initiative. It covers the sources available in Arabic, with a focus on the heartland of Islam. There is a need to explore Muslim economic ideas in works written in Persian, Turkish and other languages, as the importance of these languages increased in later periods.

  • The Transfer of Military Technology and Tactics Between Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire, C
    COLIN IMBER THE TRANSFER OF MILITARY TECHNOLOGY AND TACTICS BETWEEN WESTERN EUROPE AND THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, C. 1400-C. 1600 It was once common for European historians to describe the Ottomans as inherently incompetent in military as much as in governmental and cultural matters, and to attribute Ottoman success in war to the employ- ment of European “renegades.” While this view is now largely discred- ited, it still exercises a lingering influence and still tempts historians to take an oversimplified view of intellectual, technical and cultural exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. It also conceals a problem with the notion of “Europe” itself. Historians generally use the term to refer specifically to western and central Europe, but even accepting this definition, “Europe” was not a homogeneous entity and so to refer simply to “European” influences on the Ottoman Empire is largely meaningless. It is necessary rather to establish where in Europe the influences were coming from. Another tendency has been to regard cases where the Ottomans did not adopt European technologies or prac- tices as examples of Ottoman “failure,” without considering the context. In the military sphere, for example, the Ottomans before 1600 “failed” to adopt the tactic of deploying disciplined battlefield formations of pike- men and arquebusiers which had proved effective in Western Europe.
