B. Deniz Çalis-Kural

Sehrengiz, Urban Rituals and Deviant Sufi Mysticism in Ottoman Istanbul (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Examining the urban culture and landscapes of Istanbul through Sehrengiz, a genre of Ottoman poetry written in honor of various cities and provincial towns, this book questions the space culture of the Ottoman world in relation to practices of orthodox and heterodox Islam and imperial politics. The author traces how a sixteenth-century marginal protest movement evolved, by the early eighteenth century, into a movement of urban space reform.
