Harem Histories – Envisioning Places and Living Spaces de Marilyn Booth

Harem Histories – Envisioning Places and Living Spaces

Autor Marilyn Booth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2011
Harem Histories is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring the harem as it was imagined, represented, and experienced in Middle Eastern and North African societies, while also attending to its representational and political uses by visitors to those societies. One theme that threads through the collection is the intimate interrelatedness of West and East through encounters in and around the harem, whether in the elite socializing of pre-colonial Tunis or in popular historical novels published in Istanbul and Cairo from the late nineteenth century onward. Several of the contributors focus on European culture as a repository of harem representations, but most of them tackle indigenous representations of home spaces and their significance for how the bodies of men and women, and girls and boys, were distributed in social space, from early Islamic Mecca to early twentieth-century Cairo.Contributors: Asma Afsaruddin; Orit Bashkin; Marilyn Booth; Nadia Maria El Cheikh; Julia Clancy-Smith; Joan DelPlato; Jateen Lad; Nancy Micklewright; Yaseen Noorani; Leslie Peirce; Irvin Cemil Schick; A. Holly Schissler; Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh

Recenzii

"Harem Histories, a collection of essays edited by the esteemed translator and scholar Marilyn Booth, examines the idea of the harem in western (European and American) and, eastern (generally Turkish and Arab) literatures, images, and historical records'....makes a useful lens for understanding current narratives about Muslim women as well as earlier histories, stories, and the people who wrote them." M. Lynx Qualey, Women's Review of Books, March 2012

“Harem Histories includes magisterial essays by a number of leading scholars at the top of their game, and takes us through a series of insightful and inspiring examinations of the harem system.
