This book presents gendered readings of cultural manifestations
that relate to the Ottoman era as a preferred past and a model for
the future. By means of claims of authenticity and the distribution
of imaginaries of a homogenous desirable alternative to everyday
concerns, as well as invoking an imperial past at the national
level. In this mode of thinking, shaped around a polarised
worldview, Republican ideals serve as a counter-image to the
promoted splendour and harmony of the Ottomans. Yet, the
stereotypical gender roles inextricably linked with this
neo-Ottoman imaginary remain largely unacknowledged, dissimulated
in the construction of the desire of an idealised past. Our
adaption of a cultural studies perspective in this volume puts
special emphasis on agency, gender, and authority. It provides a
shared ground for the interrogation, through the contributions
comprising this project of knowledge production about the past in
light of what constitutes acceptable legitimacy in interpreting not
only the canonical literature, but history at large.
