SUMMARY:Gotha Manuskript Talks (Online-Veranstaltung in englischer Sprache)
DESCRIPTION:Gotha Manuscript Talks: The Social Effects and Vanishing Traces
  of Pamphlets and Other Ephemeral Texts in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
 .\n\nOnline-Veranstaltung mit Prof. Nir Shafir (University of California\,
  San Diego) in englischer Sprache unter der Leitung von Dr. Feras Krimsti 
 (Forschungsbibliothek Gotha) und Prof. Dr. Konrad Hirschler (Universität 
 Hamburg).\n\nVeranstalter: Forschungsbibliothek Gotha in Zusammenarbeit mi
 t dem Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures der Universität Hamburg
 .\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIn the seventeenth century\, Muslims in the Ottoman Empire
  became embroiled in a polarizing cultural war over the permissibility of 
 everyday practices like worshipping at saints’ graves\, smoking tobacco\
 , and an odd medical procedure called “chickpea cauterization.” This t
 alk traces this widespread religious and political polarization to the ris
 e of a new “communication order\,” focusing in particular on the adven
 t of “pamphlets”: short\, mobile\, and polemical tracts\, all copied b
 y hand. The talk paints a new picture of the entire ecosystem of books in 
 the manuscript culture of the early modern Ottoman Empire and focuses in p
 articular on the possibility of tracing ephemeral works in the manuscript 
 record.\n\nNir Shafir is an associate professor of history at UCSD whose w
 ork focuses on the Ottoman Empire/Middle East from 1200 to 1800. He is an 
 occasional contributor and editorial board member of the Ottoman History P
 odcast and served as its editor in 2018. His first book is titled The Orde
 r and Disorder of Communication: Pamphlets and Polemics in the Seventeenth
 -Century Ottoman Empire and came out with Stanford University Press in Oct
 ober\n2024.
