Transottoman Matters

Objects Moving through Time, Space, and Meaning. Edited by Arkadiusz Blaszczyk, Robert Born and Florian Riedler. Ten contributions by Stephanie Armer, Arkadiusz Blaszczyk, Robert Born, Albrecht Fuess, Eva Hanke, Anja Kregeloh, Alexandr Osipian, Anthony T. Quickel, Florian Riedler, Stefan Rohdewald and Mehmet Tepeyurt. This volume analyzes historical processes of mobility by focusing on material objects. Mobility - as a shorthand for various related processes such as migration, transfer, entanglement, and translation - involves human actors, immaterial elements such as ideas and knowledge, but also objects in various forms and functions. For example, as material infrastructures they are the basis for transport and travel; as goods they are the object and purpose of trade or gift exchange. By focusing on the way objects determined certain processes of mobility and how their social meaning and materiality was transformed in these processes, the contributors hope to gain deeper insight into the historical relations between the Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe, and Persia. 327 Seiten, gebunden (Transottomanica; Band 4/V&R unipress 2022) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
