Challenging Conventions: Love, Lovers, and Beloveds in Early Modern Ottoman Poetry
Christiane Czygan & Hatice Aynur (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111341729
As the core theme of Early Modern Ottoman poetry, love inspired a plethora of Turkish research, the most enlightening of which explored questions of terminology, semantics, and mystic dimensions. Internationally, however, there have been few publications on this subject.
This book closes this gap by investigating ʿışḳ in different genres and contexts. Whereas the terms ḥubb and maḥabbet point to comfort and care, the term ʿışḳ denotes passionate love; often laced with mystical connotations. Through this lens we show that Ottoman lyrical realities transgressed the rules, burgeoning beyond conventional settings and giving voice to vivid creativity. Large parts of urban society indulged in poetry and thereby challenged certain norms.
Eating Words: Food in Modern Arabic Literature
Tania Al Saadi (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004732698
How is food portrayed in Arabic novels? In literature, food is more than mere sustenance—it carries layered meanings.
This multilingual collection brings together experts in Arabic literature to examine the complex representations of food and eating. Through themes such as dining rituals, foodstuffs, animal consumption, memory, food habits, and hunger, the content of each chapter intersects with literary criticism on food but is uniquely shaped by the Arab world’s local settings and customs.
Offering perspectives that reach beyond literature, this book provides a nuanced view of Arab culture and society, inviting readers to explore the multiple significations of food.
New silk road narratives: local perspectives on Chinese presence along the belt and road initiative
Jamila Adeli & Linda Ammann (Hrsg.)
https://doi.org/10.11588/hasp.1370
Entlang der von China geführten Belt and Road Initiative werden nicht nur Waren, Finanzkapital oder Technologien gehandelt, verhandelt und zirkuliert, sondern auch Werte, Emotionen und kulturelle Praktiken.
Letztere sind oft entscheidend, wenn es darum geht, sich eine transregionale Infrastruktur von der Größenordnung der BRI vorzustellen und aufzubauen.
Dieses Buch untersucht die Verbindungen und Trennungen entlang der Neuen Seidenstraße anhand von Narrativen und deren kulturellen Konfigurationen. Mit Schwerpunkt auf China-Afrika-Beziehungen untersuchen die Autoren dieses Buches die Rolle von Narrativen und verschiedenen Formen kultureller Konfigurationen, um zu verstehen, wie Prozesse der Transregionalisierung lokale Denkmuster, Wahrnehmungen und Praktiken prägen.
