In Politics of Honor, Basak Tug examines moral and gender order
through the glance of legal litigations and petitions in
mid-eighteenth century Anatolia. By juxtaposing the Anatolian
petitionary registers, subjects' petitions, and Ankara and Bursa
court records, she analyzes the institutional framework of legal
scrutiny of sexual order. Through a revisionist interpretation, Tug
demonstrates that a more bureaucratized system of petitioning, a
farther hierarchically organized judicial review mechanism, and a
more centrally organized penal system of the mid-eighteenth century
reinforced the existing mechanisms of social surveillance by the
community and the co-existing "discretionary authority" of the
Ottoman state over sexual crimes to overcome imperial anxieties
about provincial "disorder".
