Yayın Ottoman artisans in a changing political context: Debates in historiography(Brill, 2021) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüHistorians have interpreted the relationship between Ottoman artisans and sultan governance in two contrasting ways. Some believe that, by definition, the sultan represented the interests of the Islamic community and even, to some extent, those of his subjects at large. Others assume that, although the Islamic legitimacy of sultans was never in doubt, artisans could nonetheless develop initiatives of their own, including participation in rebellions when their livelihoods were under threat. While adhering to the second option, the author discusses why artisans thought that compliance with officialdom was the royal road to success, and why, such conformity notwithstanding, Ottoman guilds often defended the interests of master craftsmen with reasonable success. Since artisans legitimized their strivings for private gain through constant reference to the sultan, they had little reason to limit the ruler’s power. When soldiers and associated artisans acted to depose Selim III in 1807, they did so because his policies threatened their livelihoods, and not because they wanted broader participation in policy decisions, or because they blindly upheld a ‘traditional’ system. The fall of Selim III (1807) thus differed fundamentally from what had happened in France in 1789.Yayın 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 BölümüThe 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.Yayın The material world of early modern Ottoman women: Ornaments, robes and domestic furnishings in Istanbul and Bursa(Brill, 2021) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüThe present article investigates the jewelry and domestic furnishings owned by wealthy women who died in Bursa during the early 1730s, combining the data derived from the estate inventories of the decedents with imagery, both Ottoman and non-Ottoman, dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This tentative linkage between the written and the visual has made it possible to 'zoom in' on the manner in which well-to-do females of eighteenth-century Bursa decorated their homes, and speculate about the considerations that induced them to use the most valuable textiles largely for home furnishings as opposed to garments.Yayın 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 BölümüIn 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.
