Early Modern Ottoman Parenthood: Emotions, Family, and Law in Eighteenth-Century Istanbul

这将是第一本书长度的研究，探讨父母的经验和概念和情感的父母在早期现代奥斯曼社会。该项目的基本研究问题是：通过对父母行为的社会认同，父母是如何在文化、情感和法律方面被构建起来的？在早期现代奥斯曼社会中，伊斯兰法律的实施在多大程度上塑造了父母在育儿、结婚和离婚方面的经历？为了回答这些问题，我的研究侧重于对18世纪伊斯坦布尔法庭记录中详述的父母性别经历的社会法律分析。这允许研究家庭关系，情感和法律在奥斯曼社会的形成，特别是在伊斯坦布尔养育子女的理解和经验。此外，这个项目将是第一个解决情感历史和家庭历史的紧迫差距的项目，这些历史主要集中在欧洲历史上。尽管历史学家呼吁研究非欧洲历史，并强调18世纪是家庭概念的过渡时期，但对18世纪奥斯曼人养育子女的研究仍然缺失（Jarzebowski和Safley， 2013）。

This will be the first book-length study to explore parental experiences and the concepts and emotions of parenthood in early modern Ottoman society. The project's fundamental research questions are:- How was parenthood constructed in cultural, emotional, and legal terms through the social identification ofparental practices, - and to what extent did the implementation of Islamic law in early modern Ottoman society shape parents' experiences regarding childcare, marriage, and divorce?To answer these questions, my research focuses on a socio-legal analysis of the gendered experiences of parents as detailed in eighteenth-century court records of Istanbul. This allows for the study of the relationship of family, emotions, and law in the making of Ottoman society, and the understandings and experiences of parenting in Istanbul in particular. Moreover, this project will be the first to address a pressing gap in both the history of emotions and the history of family which remain largely focused on European history. Despite historians' calls for the study of non-European history and their emphasis on the eighteenth century as a period of transition for concepts of family, a study of eighteenth-century Ottoman parenting remains missing (Jarzebowski and Safley, 2013).
