    Introduction
    (SAGE, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    Very often, the editors responsible for collections of articles will statethat they have joined originally disparate contributions into coherentpublications that resemble single-author books. Put differently, theseeditors claim to have established strong connections between the piecesentrusted to them by individual authors. Often these editors will go so faras to rename the articles at issue, now calling them ‘chapters’. By contrast,the present collection is consciously eclectic, and the editor does not aimat presenting the eight articles appearing here as parts of a unified whole.Rather, I hope that readers will be able to visualise, at least in part, thediversity of approaches to pre-1850s Ottoman social history as practicedtoday. Moreover, this collection should make visible some trends thatmay be relevant for the future, the historians at issue—with the exceptionof the present author—being either young scholars or else in mid-career.

    Aziz Nesin about himself and his parents: Poor people in Istanbul during the late Ottoman period
    (Cambridge University Press, 2021) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    A resolute modernist and socialist, Aziz Nesin (1915–95) was definitely an author of the republican period. Born Mehmet Nusret to poor parents, both migrants to Istanbul from the Black Sea coast, he adopted Nesin as his legal surname when surnames became obligatory in 1934. By the 1950s, his satirical short stories and plays had made him famous, but he faced political difficulties for much of his life; likely, it did not endear him to the authorities that he used his experiences with the police as inexhaustible material for his stories. In 1966, when in his early fifties, Aziz Nesin published Böyle Gelmiş Böyle Gitmez: Otobiyografi (That is the Way He has Come, But That is Not the Way He is Leaving: An Autobiography), the first volume of what was to become a three-volume series, which he called an autobiography.1 The first volume, which is the subject of this study, has remained the most popular; it focuses on Nesin’s childhood in Istanbul during the late 1910s and throughout the 1920s, with biographies of both his father and his mother embedded in the story.2 Nesin had begun the necessary research in the 1950s, including a trip to the Black Sea village where his mother had been born. He searched for documents as well, seemingly with limited success...

    Working, marketing and consuming Ottoman copper-with a special emphasis on female involvement
    (Brill, 2021) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; Boyar, Ebru; Fleet, Kate; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    In the Ottoman context, studies dealing with metals made into objects, rather than with raw material sent to the mint, are not very common. Even personal ornaments made of precious metals have attracted only a limited amount of attention, although samples possessed by people outside the Ottoman court have survived, albeit in limited numbers. In the case of females we find ear- rings, necklaces, bracelets and jewelled headdresses, while males owned orna- mented weapons as well as horse-gear with silver inlays. Presumably, scholars have held back because it is very difficult to interpret the written documenta- tion relevant to metalwork – if it even exists. The refining of copper and the products of coppersmiths remain in limbo as well, apart from a number of catalogues describing items in public museums and private collections.

    Istanbul and Crete in the mid-1600s: Evliya Çelebi’s discourse on non-Muslims
    (SAGE, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    The subject of our discussion is the travelogue of Evliya Çelebi, born in 1611to a goldsmith of the sultans’ palace known as Derviş Mehemmed Zılli andwho probably died in Cairo around 1685. It is intriguing for a multitudeof reasons, one of them especially relevant for the present purpose: WhileEvliya’s work covers the entire Ottoman Empire and adjacent territories inten substantial volumes, we do not know the patrons and/or other addresseesthat the author may have envisaged. While the author often mentioned twogrand viziers and other figures of the highest levels of the Ottoman elite,who employed him and with whom he had good relations, by the mid-1680sthey had mostly predeceased him, sometimes by several decades.

    Making things to serve sultans, viziers and army commanders (1450-1800)
    (SAGE, 2018) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    Ottoman documents on manufactures for court and army concentrate on governmental initiatives. However, the time has come to view these branches of production in a broader, comparative perspective, focusing on the demands of the sultan’s officials and the actions of skilled persons working for the apparatus of empire. As for the production of military hardware, the demands of eighteenthcentury warfare fell most heavily on the more prosperous workshops; and the lack of working capital became a permanent worry after the Russo- Ottoman war of 1768–74. However, until about 1750, the sultans’ military machine was still ahead of the Russians in the supply of armaments and foodstuffs. Technology and the lack of manufacturing skills, thus, were not at issue when Ottoman armies suffered defeat.

    The Ottoman and Mughal Empires: Social history in the early modern world
    (I.B. Tauris, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    It is not easy to envisage a complex society such as the Otto1nan from the vantage point of another polity, with which the viewer/author is but moderately familiar, as is true in my case where the Mughal world is at issue. The idea gerininated during a series of introductory courses on Mughal history that I taught at Istanbul Bilgi University from 2014 onward. When in front of the class, I found that the best way of making the topic meaningful to the students (and to myself as well) was to step back and look at the manner in which the inhabitants of the Ottonman Empire approached a given problem, which albeit in a different shape, existed in the Mughal world as well. It was even more exciting to find that certain fundamental rules, with which Ottomanist historians are quite familiar, such as for instance the notion that the holders of tax assigrunents were responsible for law and order in the districts assigned to them, was not as central an issue in Mughal India, as it was in Ottoman history. The constant change from the familiar to the unfamiliar and back again, was one of the more stimulating experiences associated first with the classes that I taught and later with the writing of this book...

    A cultural history of the Ottomans: the imperial elite and its artefacts
    (İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2017) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
    The Ottoman Empire was more than a center of military and economic activity; it was a vivid and fl ourishing cultural realm. The artefacts and objects remaining from all corners of this vast empire tell us a great deal about the everyday concerns of the Ottomans. In this book, Suraiya Faroqhi, Professor of History at Ibn Haldun University and a leading historian on the Ottoman Empire, has selected the most revealing, surprising essential reading for all students of the Ottoman Empire and its material culture. Christine Woodhead, from the University of Durham, thinks that “Suraiya Faroqhi takes the reader on a journey of discovery: whether in the shape of a crown, a tent, a rosewater bottle, a pistol, or a coff ee cup, artefacts are here used to narrate a new cultural history of the Ottoman empire. With unique erudition and fl air, Faroqhi combines bold interpretations and intimate and littleknown stories. The Ottoman elites, as if by magic, become alive.”
