Series: Critical Studies in Architecture of the Middle East

An analysis of social life during the late Ottoman and early Republican eras.

The short-lived Tulip Era breathed a new life into early eighteenth-century Ottoman social life, introducing novel elements of art and architecture and new spaces of leisure and entertainment that both men and women could enjoy. Those developments would in the nineteenth century be adopted and used by the ruling elite as part of an effort to establish closer relationships with European states. As other classes emulated the elite and also began to experience increasing social mobility, the new forms of entertainment and recreation gradually permeated the rest of the society and ended up having a long-term impact on Ottoman society. This collection offers an analysis of the forms and spaces of those spectacles, entertainments, and recreations during the late Ottoman and early Republican eras.
