There were many “unofficial spies” who helped the information-gathering of the state – like captives and travelers. Because of these many channels through which the knowledge of the “religious other” arrived to Christendom – through people from different regions, of different education, with different aims of conveying information and mode of encountering the “Turk” (if there was an encounter at all) – information on the “Turks” greatly varied. While it is true that most of the writings conceived of the “Turks” (interchangeably used term was “Moors” and even “Saracens”) as a homogenous group, with characteristics of being “infidel,” “cruel,” “sodomite,” “barbarous,” exceptions did exist. There were accounts that had a more nuanced view of the Muslims and could present a somewhat more complex picture. My argumentation goes along the lines of a recent scholarly debate that has emphasized this varied image of the Muslims in Europe.3 1 Jeremy Lawrence, “Europe and the Turks in Spanish literature of the Renaissance and Early Modern Period,” CEU eTD Collection in Culture and Society in Habsburg Spain.

  • CIRCASSIANS of UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji
    MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY Eiji Miyazawa A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD. Department of Anthropology and Sociology Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of Oriental and African Studies University of London MEMORY POLITICS: CIRCASSIANS OF UZUNYAYLA, TURKEY BY EIJI MIYAZAWA ABSTRACT This thesis explores social memories among Circassians in Turkey. It is based on eighteen months’ field research in the Uzunyayla plateau, Pınarbaşı district of Kayseri province, central Turkey. The Circassians (Çerkez) settled there are the descendants of refugees who fled from the Russian invasion of the Caucasus in the mid nineteenth century. “Memory” here is used in a broad sense to include the experiences and expressions of historical consciousness in everyday interactions, as well as articulated historical narratives. By interweaving them, the present work aims to analyse the political process involved in the production of knowledge about history and society. In efforts to reproduce a community in their new homeland, Circassians emphasise their history and collective identity. The local elites from noble (worq) families dominate such conservative, essentialist discourses, stressing their status superiority over ex-slave families. They recognise historical significance and identify the driving forces of their history by reference to specific social themes, such as the opposition between the two status groups. They monopolise history as a resource by excluding ex-slaves from the production of authoritative knowledge. Here, memory politics, consisting of space construction, control over interpersonal exchanges, and hierarchized personhood, plays a crucial role. In that process, ex-slaves become muted, made passively to embody a “feudal” past. By contrast, in Karakuyu, an affluent village also known as “Slave Village”, male comrades produce social relations different from elite representations by committing themselves to alcohol drinking.

  • Slavery and Slave Prices in the Crimean Khanate (According to Islamic Court Registers) Nuri Kavak*
    Journal of International Eastern European Studies/Uluslararası Doğu Avrupa Araştırmaları Dergisi, Vol./Yıl. 1, No/Sayı. 1, Summer/Yaz 2019) ISSN: 2687-3346 Slavery and Slave Prices in the Crimean Khanate (According to Islamic Court Registers) Nuri Kavak* (Article Sent on: 12.05.2019 / Article Accepted on: 18.08.2019) Abstract Before the appearance of the Crimean Khanate, the Latin Kingdoms, the Byzantine Empire and the Russians as well had slave markets on the Black Sea shores and in the north of the Black Sea for a long time. In other words, when the Crimean Khanate became a major actor in the aforementioned part of the world, it came into possession of the slave markets which preceding civilizations had already created. Therefore, the Crimean Tatars made use of economic benefits of slave markets and the high profit of slave trade attracted the khanate. Especially, the difficulty of the Ottomans in obtaining slaves due to the end of the Ottoman frontier raids encouraged the Crimean Tatars. Thereafter, they became a major actor of slave trade. The inheritance (tereke) records and some tittle deeds (hüccets) of the Islamic court registers (şer'iye sicilleri) of the Crimean Khanate speak of slaves and concubines. The records about the need for and use of slave labor, commercial relations and disputes due to buying and selling of slaves, and emancipation of slaves show the significance of slavery in social and economic life of the Crimean Khanate. This study aims to shed light on slave prices and the place of slavery in the economic structure of the Crimean Khanate.

  • Imitation Games. Some Notes on the Envoys Sent by Borso D’Este to Uthman, Ruler of Tunis
    4 / 2020 The Journal for Renaissance and Early Modern Diplomatic Studies Beatrice Saletti University of Ferrara IMITATION GAMES. SOME NOTES ON THE ENVOYS SENT BY BORSO D’ESTE TO UTHMAN, RULER OF TUNIS Abstract In April 1464 Borso d’Este, Lord of Ferrara, sent two of his servants to Tunis in order to purchase prized horses, giving precise instructions for off ering his regards and presenting his gifts to the ruler of Tunis. Th e letter that the Marquis entrusts to his two servants is a mine of information, because Borso leaves nothing to chance. His instructions cover every aspect of the ambassadorial visit: when to show the gifts, how and in what order to show them, the speech to be given. Many of the instructions given to ambassadors by their governments are yet to be investigated: how much room for manoeuvre did they leave in achieving the objectives of the mission, for example? In the case of the Marquis of Ferrara, Borso intends to exhibit his kingship through the staging of the presentation of his gifts, and through the posture, the gestures and the words of his representatives. Th e analysis of his letter can off er an interpretative guide for examining the appearances and public celebrations organized by Borso during his rule, which took place in an age of great experimentation. Keywords: Italian Renaissance diplomacy, Borso d’Este, Caliph Uthman, gift-giving, Abbasid, Tunisia Inspired by two exchanges of the mid-fi fteenth century between Tunis and Ferrara, this study refl ects on gifts, diplomacy, politics and social customs.

  • Islamic Gunpowder Empires : Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals / Douglas E
    “Douglas Streusand has contributed a masterful comparative analysis and an up-to- S date reinterpretation of the significance of the early modern Islamic empires. This T book makes profound scholarly insights readily accessible to undergraduate stu- R dents and will be useful in world history surveys as well as more advanced courses.” —Hope Benne, Salem State College E U “Streusand creatively reexamines the military and political history and structures of the SAN Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. He breaks down the process of transformation and makes their divergent outcomes comprehensible, not only to an audience of special- ists, but also to undergraduates and general readers. Appropriate for courses in world, early modern, or Middle Eastern history as well as the political sociology of empires.” D —Linda T. Darling, University of Arizona “Streusand is to be commended for navigating these hearty and substantial historiogra- phies to pull together an analytical textbook which will be both informative and thought provoking for the undergraduate university audience.” GUNPOWDER EMPIRES —Colin Mitchell, Dalhousie University Islamic Gunpowder Empires provides an illuminating history of Islamic civilization in the early modern world through a comparative examination of Islam’s three greatest empires: the Otto- IS mans (centered in what is now Turkey), the Safavids (in modern Iran), and the Mughals (ruling the Indian subcontinent). Author Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires; compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic contributors to their success; and L analyzes the causes of their rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international system extending from the At- lantic to the Straits of Malacca, emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that AMIC system.
