Dis­lik­ing oth­ers: loathing, hos­til­i­ty, and dis­trust in pre­mod­ern Ottoman lands
Recent his­tor­i­cal stud­ies on the Ottoman Empire have tak­en for grant­ed that sub­jects of the Ottoman poli­ty flour­ished under a so-called “Pax Ottoman­i­ca.” This edit­ed vol­ume probes the rosy nar­ra­tive of Ottoman tol­er­ance that has long dom­i­nat­ed the dis­cus­sions. The arti­cles care­ful­ly strive to con­tex­tu­al­ize the many issues that sound like eth­nic slurs, racial stereo­typ­ing, reli­gious dis­crim­i­na­tion, misog­y­ny and elit­ism to mod­ern ears. The goal of the vol­ume is not to prove that Ottoman soci­ety was a per­se­cut­ing one, or that dis­like or dis­trust was its defin­ing char­ac­ter­is­tic, but to inves­ti­gate the axes of ten­sion, blem­ish­es, and frac­tures in the every­day prac­tice of coex­is­tence in a dynam­ic, mul­ti-reli­gious, mul­ti-con­fes­sion­al and mul­ti-eth­nic empire in which dif­fer­ence was the norm rather than the excep­tion.

Archi­tec­ture of the Periph­ery in Chi­nese: Car­tog­ra­phy and Min­i­mal­ism
Archi­tec­ture of the Periph­ery in Chi­nese offers a com­pre­hen­sive sur­vey on the fine struc­ture of the sen­tence periph­er­al domain in Man­darin Chi­nese from a car­to­graph­ic per­spec­tive. Dif­fer­ent func­tion­al pro­jec­tions host­ing sen­tence-final par­ti­cles, implic­it oper­a­tors and oth­er infor­ma­tion­al com­po­nents are hier­ar­chi­cal­ly ordered accord­ing to the „Sub­jec­tiv­i­ty Scale Con­straint“ func­tion­ing at syn­tax-dis­course inter­face. Three ques­tions will be essen­tial­ly addressed: What is the order? How to deter­mine such an order? Why such an order? This research not only gives a thor­ough exam­i­na­tion of the periph­er­al ele­ments in Chi­nese but also improves the gen­er­al under­stand­ing of the order­ing issue in the left-periph­ery crosslin­guis­ti­cal­ly. This book is aimed at schol­ars inter­est­ed in Chi­nese syn­tax or gen­er­a­tive syn­tax.
