Die Reihe Studies on Modern Orient wurde als Studien zum Modernen Orient im Klaus Schwarz Verlag begründet. Die Bände sind religiösen, politischen und sozialen Phänomenen in muslimischen Gesellschaften der Moderne und Gegenwart gewidmet. Das Spektrum der Reihe ist dabei nicht auf den Nahen und Mittleren Osten beschränkt, sondern berücksichtigt auch relevante Themen in mehrheitlich nicht-muslmischen Regionen, beispielsweise in Europa oder Amerika.

Back Jacket

This volume brings together twenty-two authors from various countries who analyze travelogues on the Ottoman Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The travelogues reflect the colorful diversity of the genre, presenting the experiences of individuals and groups from China to Great Britain. The spotlight falls on interdependencies of travel writing and historiography, geographic spaces, and specific practices such as pilgrimages, the hajj, and the harem. Other points of emphasis include the importance of nationalism, the place and time of printing, representations of fashion, and concepts of masculinity and femininity. By displaying close, comparative, and distant readings, the volume offers new insights into perceptions of otherness, the circulation of knowledge, intermedial relations, gender roles, and digital analysis.
