Frontier Orientalism and the Turkish Image in Central European Literature

Charles D. Sabatos

4.9/5 (22622 ratings)

Description:This comparative study analyzes the ways that Central European writers used stereotypes of the Turks to develop their national identities from the early modern period to the present. Charles D. Sabatos uses Andre Gingrich's concept of "frontier Orientalism" to foreground his analysis of Central European Orientalism, designating the nations of the former Habsburg Empire as the occident and the Turks as the oriental "Other." This study applies theoretical approaches to literary history--as developed by scholars such as Stephen Greenblatt and Linda Hutcheon--to a range of texts from the early modern period, the nineteenth-century national revivals, interwar independence, and the communist and postsocialist regimes. By following these depictions across literatures and over an extensive historical period, this study illustrates how the Turkish stereotype evolved from a menace to a more abstract yet still powerful metaphor of resistance, and finally to a mythical figure that evoked humor as often as fear.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
