The book "Rethinking Orientalism: Women, Travel, and the Ottoman Harem" by Reina Lewis is a groundbreaking study that challenges the traditional Western perception of Eastern women as passive and oppressed. The author brings together published autobiographical accounts of self-identified Oriental women from the turn of the 20th century to reveal how these women were able to intervene in Orientalist culture and manipulate cultural codes. Through the examination of the works of five prominent women writers - Demetra Vaka, Brown Halide, Zeyneb Hanum, Melek Hanum, and Grace Ellison - the author shows how these women engaged in a social and textual dialogue with Western feminists, contesting the dominant narratives of seclusion, the veil, and polygamy. The book begins by highlighting the enduring mystique surrounding Western perceptions of Eastern women, despite recent challenges to Orientalist thinking. Lewis argues that these stereotypes have been perpetuated through the centuries, reinforcing the image of the subjugated, silenced woman of the harem. However, she contends that this image is far from accurate, and that these women have been actively resisting and manipulating cultural codes to assert their agency and challenge dominant narratives. Through her analysis of the writings of these five women, Lewis demonstrates how they addressed topics such as seclusion, the veil, and polygamy in complex ways, revealing both the possibilities and limitations of resistance for women from Islamic societies.
Книга Рейны Льюис «Переосмысление ориентализма: женщины, путешествия и османский гарем» является новаторским исследованием, которое бросает вызов традиционному западному восприятию восточных женщин как пассивных и угнетенных. Автор объединяет опубликованные автобиографические рассказы о самоидентифицированных восточных женщинах рубежа XX века, чтобы раскрыть, как эти женщины смогли вмешаться в ориенталистскую культуру и манипулировать культурными кодами. Через изучение работ пяти выдающихся женщин-писательниц - Деметры Вака, Браун Халиде, Зейнеб Ханум, Мелек Ханум и Грейс Эллисон - автор показывает, как эти женщины вели социальный и текстовый диалог с западными феминистками, оспаривая доминирующие нарративы уединения, завесы и полигамии. Книга начинается с освещения непреходящей мистики, окружающей западное восприятие восточных женщин, несмотря на недавние проблемы с ориенталистским мышлением. Льюис утверждает, что эти стереотипы увековечивались на протяжении веков, укрепляя образ покорённой, замолчавшей женщины гарема. Тем не менее, она утверждает, что этот образ далеко не точен, и что эти женщины активно сопротивлялись и манипулировали культурными кодами, чтобы утвердить свой авторитет и бросить вызов доминирующим нарративам. Анализируя труды этих пяти женщин, Льюис демонстрирует, как они обращались к таким темам, как уединение, вуаль и полигамия сложными способами, раскрывая как возможности, так и ограничения сопротивления для женщин из исламских обществ.
livre de Rayna wis « Repenser l'orientalisme : les femmes, les voyages et le harem ottoman » est une étude novatrice qui remet en question la perception occidentale traditionnelle des femmes orientales comme passives et opprimées. L'auteur combine des histoires autobiographiques publiées sur les femmes orientales auto-identifiées du début du XXe siècle pour révéler comment ces femmes ont pu intervenir dans la culture orientaliste et manipuler les codes culturels. En étudiant les œuvres de cinq écrivaines éminentes - Demetra Waka, Brown Khalid, Zeineb Hanoum, Melek Hanoum et Grace Allison - l'auteur montre comment ces femmes ont eu un dialogue social et textuel avec les féministes occidentales, en contestant les récits dominants de solitude, de voile et de polygamie. livre commence par mettre en lumière la mystique persistante qui entoure la perception occidentale des femmes orientales, malgré les problèmes récents de la pensée orientaliste. wis affirme que ces stéréotypes se sont perpétués au fil des siècles, renforçant l'image d'une femme harem soumise et silencieuse. Cependant, elle affirme que cette image est loin d'être exacte et que ces femmes ont résisté activement et manipulé les codes culturels pour affirmer leur autorité et défier les récits dominants. En analysant les écrits de ces cinq femmes, wis montre comment elles ont abordé des sujets tels que la solitude, le voile et la polygamie de manière complexe, révélant à la fois les possibilités et les limites de la résistance pour les femmes des sociétés islamiques.
libro de Reina wis «Reinterpretar el orientalismo: mujeres, viajes y harén otomano» es un estudio pionero que desafía la percepción occidental tradicional de las mujeres orientales como pasivas y oprimidas. La autora reúne relatos autobiográficos publicados sobre mujeres orientales autoidentificadas del cambio del siglo XX para revelar cómo estas mujeres fueron capaces de interferir en la cultura orientalista y manipular los códigos culturales. A través del estudio de las obras de cinco eminentes escritoras - Demetra Waka, Brown Khalide, Zeineb Hanum, Melek Hanum y Grace Ellison -, la autora muestra cómo estas mujeres mantuvieron un diálogo social y textual con las feministas occidentales, desafiando las narrativas dominantes de la soledad, el velo y la poligamia. libro comienza con una cobertura de la mística perdurable que rodea la percepción occidental de las mujeres orientales, a pesar de los problemas recientes con el pensamiento orientalista. wis afirma que estos estereotipos se han perpetuado a lo largo de los siglos, reforzando la imagen de la mujer del harén sometida, silenciada. n embargo, sostiene que esta imagen está lejos de ser exacta, y que estas mujeres han resistido activamente y manipulado los códigos culturales para afirmar su autoridad y desafiar las narrativas dominantes. Analizando los escritos de estas cinco mujeres, wis demuestra cómo abordaron temas como la soledad, el velo y la poligamia de maneras complejas, revelando tanto las oportunidades como las limitaciones de la resistencia para las mujeres de las sociedades islámicas.
Il libro di Rayna wis «Ridefinire l'orientalismo: donne, viaggi e harem ottomano» è uno studio innovativo che sfida la tradizionale percezione occidentale delle donne orientali come passive e oppresse. L'autrice unisce i racconti autobiografici pubblicati sulle donne orientali auto-identificate del confine del XX secolo per rivelare come queste donne siano riuscite a interferire con la cultura orientalista e manipolare i codici culturali. Attraverso lo studio di cinque grandi scrittrici donne - Demetra Wak, Brown Khalide, Zeineb Hanum, Melek Hanum e Grace Allison - l'autrice mostra come queste donne abbiano avuto un dialogo sociale e testuale con le femministe occidentali, contestando le narrazioni dominanti di privacy, velo e poligamia. Il libro inizia con la copertura della mistica che circonda la percezione occidentale delle donne orientali, nonostante i recenti problemi di pensiero orientalista. wis sostiene che questi stereotipi si sono perpetuati per secoli, rafforzando l'immagine di una donna harem sottomessa e silenziosa. Tuttavia, sostiene che questa immagine non è accurata, e che queste donne hanno attivamente opposto resistenza e manipolazione ai codici culturali per affermare la loro credibilità e sfidare le narrazioni dominanti. Analizzando il lavoro di queste cinque donne, wis dimostra come hanno trattato temi come privacy, velo e poligamia in modi complessi, rivelando sia le opportunità che le limitazioni della resistenza per le donne delle società islamiche.
Reina wis Buch „Rethinking Orientalism: Women, Travel and the Ottoman Harem“ ist eine bahnbrechende Studie, die die traditionelle westliche Wahrnehmung von orientalischen Frauen als passiv und unterdrückt in Frage stellt. Die Autorin kombiniert veröffentlichte autobiografische Erzählungen über selbstidentifizierte orientalische Frauen der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert, um aufzudecken, wie diese Frauen in die orientalistische Kultur eingreifen und kulturelle Codes manipulieren konnten. Durch das Studium der Werke von fünf prominenten Schriftstellerinnen - Demeter Waka, Brown Khalide, Zeyneb Hanum, Melek Hanum und Grace Allison - zeigt die Autorin, wie diese Frauen einen sozialen und textlichen Dialog mit westlichen Feministinnen führten und die dominanten Erzählungen von Einsamkeit, Schleier und Polygamie in Frage stellten. Das Buch beginnt mit der Berichterstattung über die anhaltende Mystik rund um die westliche Wahrnehmung von orientalischen Frauen, trotz der jüngsten Probleme mit orientalistischem Denken. wis argumentiert, dass diese Stereotypen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte fortbestanden und das Bild der unterworfenen, verstummten Haremsfrau verstärkten. e behauptet jedoch, dass dieses Bild alles andere als korrekt ist und dass diese Frauen sich aktiv gegen kulturelle Codes gewehrt und diese manipuliert haben, um ihre Autorität zu behaupten und dominante Narrative herauszufordern. Durch die Analyse der Schriften dieser fünf Frauen zeigt wis, wie sie Themen wie Einsamkeit, Schleier und Polygamie auf komplexe Weise ansprachen und sowohl die Möglichkeiten als auch die Grenzen des Widerstands für Frauen aus islamischen Gesellschaften enthüllten.

Oryantalizmi Yeniden Düşünmek: Kadın, Seyahat ve Osmanlı Haremi, Reina wis'in geleneksel Batı'nın Doğu kadınlarını pasif ve ezilen olarak algılamasına meydan okuyan çığır açan bir çalışmadır. Yazar, 20. yüzyılın başında kendi kendini tanımlayan Doğu kadınlarının yayınlanmış otobiyografik hesaplarını birleştirerek, bu kadınların oryantalist kültüre nasıl müdahale edebildiklerini ve kültürel kodları nasıl manipüle edebildiklerini ortaya koyuyor. Önde gelen beş kadın yazarın - Demeter Waka, Brown Khalide, Zeyneb Khanum, Melek Khanum ve Grace Ellison - çalışmalarını inceleyen yazar, bu kadınların Batılı feministlerle nasıl sosyal ve metinsel diyalog kurduklarını, inziva, peçe ve çok eşliliğin baskın anlatılarına nasıl meydan okuduklarını gösteriyor. Kitap, oryantalist düşünce ile ilgili son sorunlara rağmen, Doğu kadınlarının Batı algılarını çevreleyen kalıcı mistisizmi vurgulayarak başlıyor. wis, bu stereotiplerin yüzyıllar boyunca sürdürüldüğünü ve fethedilmiş, sessiz bir harem kadını imajını güçlendirdiğini savunuyor. Yine de, bu imajın doğru olmaktan uzak olduğunu ve bu kadınların otoritelerini ileri sürmek ve baskın anlatılara meydan okumak için kültürel kodlara aktif olarak direndiklerini ve manipüle ettiklerini savunuyor. Bu beş kadının yazılarını analiz eden wis, inziva, peçe ve çok eşlilik gibi konuları karmaşık yollarla nasıl ele aldıklarını göstererek, İslam toplumlarından kadınlar için direnişin olanaklarını ve sınırlamalarını ortaya koyuyor.
إعادة تخيل الاستشراق: المرأة والسفر والحريم العثماني من قبل رينا لويس هي دراسة رائدة تتحدى التصور الغربي التقليدي للمرأة الشرقية على أنها سلبية ومضطهدة. يجمع المؤلف بين روايات السيرة الذاتية المنشورة لنساء شرقيات حددن أنفسهن في مطلع القرن العشرين للكشف عن كيفية تمكن هؤلاء النساء من التدخل في الثقافة الاستشراقية والتلاعب بالقواعد الثقافية. من خلال دراسة لعمل خمس كاتبات بارزات - ديميتر واكا وبراون خاليد وزينب خانوم وميليك خانوم وغريس إليسون - تُظهر الكاتبة كيف انخرطت هؤلاء النساء في حوار اجتماعي ونصي مع النسويات الغربيات، متحديات الروايات السائدة عن العزلة والحجاب وتعدد الزوجات. يبدأ الكتاب بتسليط الضوء على التصوف الدائم المحيط بالتصورات الغربية للمرأة الشرقية، على الرغم من المشاكل الأخيرة في التفكير المستشرق. يجادل لويس بأن هذه الصور النمطية قد استمرت لعدة قرون، مما عزز صورة امرأة حريم مهزومة وصامتة. ومع ذلك، تجادل بأن هذه الصورة بعيدة كل البعد عن الدقة، وأن هؤلاء النساء قاومن بنشاط وتلاعبن بالقواعد الثقافية لتأكيد سلطتهن وتحدي الروايات المهيمنة. من خلال تحليل كتابات هؤلاء النساء الخمس، يوضح لويس كيف تناولن مواضيع مثل العزلة والحجاب وتعدد الزوجات بطرق معقدة، مما يكشف عن احتمالات وقيود مقاومة النساء من المجتمعات الإسلامية.
