Title: | Doors, privacy and the public sphere: a conceptual discussion on the spatial structure of early modern Istanbul | Authors: | Savk, Serkan | Keywords: | Coffeehouses | Publisher: | Cambridge Univ Press | Abstract: | The aim of this article is to offer a new conceptual framework for the study of various spaces in Istanbul during the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries. I contend that rather than the sharp distinction manifested with the public-private dichotomy, we need to focus on gradations of privacy. I offer qapu and bab as two new concepts borrowed from the period's own repertoire for representing the macro and micro ends of the spatial gradation. Theoretically, I draw on George Simmel's definition of doors as the interfaces of spatial formation. | Description: | Article; Early Access | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1017/S0963926822000657 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14365/1496 |
