Abstract

"In 1688, five years after the failed Ottoman siege of Vienna, a young Muslim soldier surrendered to the Austrian army and became a prisoner of war. Osman of Timişoara would spend the next twelve years in captivity, at first under the cruelest and most inhuman conditions, and later in relative comfort as a servant of one of Vienna's most elite aristocratic families. Decades later, as an old man in Istanbul, Osman would write an account of his experiences. A historical source of unparalleled richness, a swashbuckling adventure story, and a moving literary meditation on selfhood, bondage, and the impossibility of returning home, Prisoner of the Infidels is a foundational text for Ottoman cultural history. This major milestone of Turkish literature is finally available to English-speaking readers for the first time"--

Abstract

Victor Hugo meets Papillon in this effervescent memoir of war, slavery, and self-discovery, told with aplomb and humor in its first English translation.   A pioneering work of Ottoman Turkish literature, Prisoner of the Infidels brings the seventeenth-century memoir of Osman Agha of Timişoara--slave, adventurer, and diplomat--into English for the first time. The sweeping story of Osman's life begins upon his capture and subsequent enslavement during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. Adrift in a landscape far from his home and traded from one master to another, Osman tells a tale of indignation and betrayal but also of wonder and resilience, punctuated with queer trysts, back-alley knife fights, and elaborate ruses to regain his freedom.   Throughout his adventures, Osman is forced to come to terms with his personhood and sense of belonging: What does it mean to be alone in a foreign realm and treated as subhuman chattel, yet surrounded by those who see him as an object of exotic desire or even genuine affection? Through his eyes, we are treated to an intimate view of seventeenth-century Europe from the singular perspective of an insider/outsider, who by the end his account can no longer reckon the boundary between Islam and Christendom, between the land of his capture and the land of his birth, or even between slavery and redemption.

Abstract

Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations: Sources from the Ottoman Archives, is a product of meticulous study of İsmail Hakkı Kadı, A.C.S. Peacock and other contributors on historical documents from the Ottoman archives. The work contains documents in Ottoman-Turkish, Malay, Arabic, French, English, Tausung, Burmese and Thai languages, each introduced by an expert in the language and history of the related country. The work contains documents hitherto unknown to historians as well as others that have been unearthed before but remained confined to the use of limited scholars who had access to the Ottoman archives. The resources published in this study show that the Ottoman Empire was an active actor within the context of Southeast Asian experience with Western colonialism. The fact that the extensive literature on this experience made limited use of Ottoman source materials indicates the crucial importance of this publication for future innovative research in the field. Contributors are: Giancarlo Casale, Annabel Teh Gallop, Rıfat Günalan, Patricia Herbert, Jana Igunma, Midori Kawashima, Abraham Sakili and Michael Talbot

Abstract

İstanbul’daki Fransız Anadolu Araştırmaları Enstitüsü ile merkezi Lizbon’da bulunan Calouste Gulbenkian Vakfi’nm ortaklaşa yayınladıkları, Fransa’daki "Türkiye Mevsimi" çerçevesinde (2009) Paris’teki Calouste Gulbenkian Kültür Merkezi ve Paris-Sorbonne Üniversitesine bağlı Uygulamalı Yüksek Araştırmalar Okulu’nun birlikte düzenledikleri bir kolokyumun ürünlerine dayalı bu kitap bize şaşırtıcı bilgiler sunuyor. İstanbul’un fethinden, Lozan Antlaşması’na kadar, birden çok medeniyetin stratejik buluşma noktasında yer alan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, Batı Avrupa için meydan okunacak başlıca hedef konumundaydı. Avrupa kendini birkaç yüzyıl boyunca Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun aynasında seyretti ve onunla rekabet halinde iken bile, siyasal ve askeri gücü, yönetiminin mükemmelliği, maddi kültürünün İnceliği karşısında hayranlığını gizleyemedi. Ama özümseme ile dışlama arasında gidip gelen bu hayranlık, sonunda, onu yok etme ihtirasına yenik düştü. Peki, acaba bu gidişat tek yönlü müydü? Kuşkusuz Osmanlı İmparatorluğu da Avrupa’ya yönelik fetih ve dize getirme ihtiraslarından yoksun değildi. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile Avrupalı güçler arasında yüzyıllar boyunca sürmüş ilişkileri connected history (bağlı tarihler) perspektifinden ele alan Harp ve Sulh; Avrupa ve Osmanlılar eski bilgilerimize nüanslı yaklaşımlar getirmekle kalmıyor, yeni araştırmaların sonuçlarını da gün ışığına çıkarıyor; bu çerçevede her iki tarafta öbür tarafın nasıl temsil edildiğine dair imgelere ayrıcalıklı bir yer açılıyor, yakınlaşma biçimlerine, temas mekanizma lan na ve bu temaslan kuran aracılara özel bir önem veriliyor. Kitap, Osmanlı konusunda farklı disiplinlerde uzmanlaşmış parlak bir araştırmacılar topluluğunu ve uluslararası planda öne çıkan Osmanlı tarihi uzmanlarından bazılarını bir araya getiriyor. Harp ve Sulh; Avrupa ve Osmanlılar ayrıca, dışa açılma dinamiği çerçevesinde, belki de ilk kez, Türkiyeli okurlara İspanyol ve Portekizli araştırma cila nn çalışmalarını okuma imkânını vererek Akdeniz’in…
