TextLanguage: English Series: Edinburgh studies on the Ottoman EmpirePublisher: Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, 2019Copyright date: ©2019Description: vii, 240 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781474441414 (hardback)Subject(s): 1288-1918 | Rites and ceremonies -- Turkey -- History -- 19th century | Rites and ceremonies -- Social aspects -- Turkey -- History -- 19th centuryLOC classification: DR557 .S74 2019Summary: This book argues that the periodic ceremonial intrusion into the everyday lives of people across the Ottoman Empire, which the annual royal birthday and accession-day celebrations constituted, had multiple, far-reaching and largely unexplored consequences. On the one hand, it brought ordinary subjects into symbolic contact with the monarch and forged lasting vertical ties of loyalty to him, irrespective of language, location, creed or class. On the other hand, the rounds of royal celebration played a key role in the creation of new types of horizontal ties and ethnic group consciousness that crystallized into national movements and, after the empire’s demise, national monarchies. https://www.amazon.com/Visibility-Popular-Belonging-1808-1908-Edinburgh/dp/1474441416
