V&R unipress GmbH Realness through Mediating Body: The Emergence of
Book SynopsisAfter the end of the civil war in 1990, the Charismatic/Pentecostal (C/P) movement in Beirut spread across various Christian denominations. C/P believers narrated how Jesus became real to them via the experience of the Holy Spirit. The author explains this impression of realness through embodiment. Ritual practices like testimony and experience of divine agency are experienced as fullness within a post war society and are extended into the every day sphere. This ethnographic account represents the beginning research of C/P Christianitys emergence in the Middle East and its contribution to social change.

V&R unipress GmbH Sultan Baibars Und Seine Sohne: Fruhmamlukische
Book SynopsisDie frëhmamlukischen Sultane stellten sich zur Etablierung und Sicherung ihrer Herrschaft bewusst in ayyubidische Traditionen. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht Sultan Baibars, der sich nicht nur zur eigenen Herrschaftssicherung ayyubidischer Vorbilder bediente, sondern auch zielstrebig die Etablierung eines dynastischen Prinzips fër seine Söhne anstrebte. Seinen ältesten Sohn Baraka Qan baute er umsichtig zum Thronfolger auf und bemëhte sich, ihn gleichzeitig durch enge Bindungen mit den fëhrenden Emiren abzusichern. Erstmals analysiert der Autor das planvoll von Baibars durch Verwandtschafts- und Treuebindungen geknëpfte Netzwerk am mamlukischen Hof und in der Armee, das die Gewähr fër die Nachfolge seiner Söhne bieten sollte. Diese scheiterten jedoch an ihrem jugendlichen Ungeschick und Qalawuns Ränken. The early Mamluk sultans purposely followed Ayyubid traditions to establish and protect their rule. This analysis focus on Sultan Baibars. Not only did he adopt Ayyubid role models, he also was very determined to establish a dynasty for his sons. He carefully raised his oldest son Baraka Qan to become heir to the throne and at the same time tried to protect him through close relationships with the leading emirs. For the first time, the author analyses Baibars'' well-planned family and loyalty bonds at the Mamluk sultanate and in the army that should assure the succession of his sons. However, his sons failed due to their juvenile incapacity and QalÄwÅn''s intrigues.

V&R Unipress Slaves and Slave Agency in the Ottoman Empire
Book SynopsisSlaves and Slave Agency in the Ottoman Empire offers a new contribution to slavery studies relating to the Ottoman Empire. Given the fact that the classical binary of slavery and freedom derives from the transatlantic experience, this volume presents an alternative approach, by examining the strongly asymmetric relationships of dependency documented in the Ottoman Empire. A closer look at the Ottoman social order discloses manifold and ambiguous conditions involving enslavement practices, rather than a single universal pattern. The authors of this volume examine various forms of enslavement and dependency with a particular focus on agency, i.e., the room for maneuver, which the enslaved could secure for themselves, or else the available options for action in situations of extreme individual or group dependencies. Case studies reveal a very wide spectrum of agency, especially with regard to domestic slaves. The authors discuss a multitude of questions, including the uses of legal documents. Others explore the particular situations of eunuchs, galley slaves, slave traders, enslaved populations, manumitted slaves at the palace and in ordinary households, war captives returned home, and domestic servants after the abolition of slavery. This volume presents a clearer and more nuanced picture of the practices of slavery and asymmetric dependency that evolved across the duration of the Ottoman Empire.

V&R Unipress Browsing through the Sultan's Bookshelves:
Book SynopsisStarting from 135 manuscripts that were once part of the library of the late Mamluk sultan Qanisawh al-Ghawri (r. 1501--1516), this book challenges the dominant narrative of a 'post-court era', in which courts were increasingly marginalized in the field of adab. Rather than being the literary barren field that much of the Arabic and Arabic-centred sources, produced extra muros, would have us believe, it re-cognizes Qanisawh's court as a rich and vibrant literary site and a cosmopolitan hub in a burgeoning Turkic literary ecumene. It also re-centres the ruler himself within this court. No longer the passive object of panegyric or the source of patronage alone, Qniawh has an authorial voice in his own right, one that is idiosyncratic yet in conversation with other voices. As such, while this book is first and foremost a book about books, it is one that consciously aspires to be more than that: a book about a library, and, ultimately, a book about the man behind the library, Qniawh al-Ghawr.
