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

这将是第一次对早期现代奥斯曼帝国社会的父母经历以及父母的观念和情感进行长达一书的研究。该项目的基本研究问题是：-如何通过对父母做法的社会认同在文化、情感和法律方面构建父母身份，以及伊斯兰法律在早期现代奥斯曼帝国社会的实施在多大程度上影响了父母在育儿、婚姻和离婚方面的经历？为了回答这些问题，我的研究重点是对18世纪伊斯坦布尔法院记录中详细描述的父母的性别经历进行社会法律分析。这使得我们能够研究家庭、情感和法律在奥斯曼帝国社会形成中的关系，特别是伊斯坦布尔对育儿的理解和经验。此外，这个项目将是第一个解决情感史和家庭史的紧迫差距的项目，这两个历史仍然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世纪是家庭观念的过渡时期，但关于18世纪奥斯曼帝国育儿方式的研究仍然缺失(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).
