Summary: | Localizing foreignness: forging Istanbul's dragomanate -- Kinshipping: casting nets and spawning dynasties -- Inscribing the self: dragomans' relazioni -- Visualizing a space of encounter -- Disciplining language: dragomans and Oriental philology -- Translating the Ottomans -- Circulating "Turkish literature" -- Dragomans and the routes of orientalism "This book studies the role of dragomans (diplomatic interpreter-translators) in mediating ethno-linguistic, political, and religious relations between the Ottoman Empire and its European neighbors from ca. 1550 to ca. 1730. It considers both their Istanbul-centered social lives, and how the dictionaries, reports, and visual representations they created were central to the production of Europeanist knowledge about the Ottoman world"-- |
