Description

Explore the transformation of the scholarly class in the wake of nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire reforms. This academic work examines how the waning of traditional guilds and the emergence of new professions led to significant social differentiation within the scholarly estate. As new institutions formed, many scholars transitioned into roles as translators, teachers, and editors. This book traces the evolution of the scholar into a public writer, a role that grew alongside new professionals like doctors, engineers, and lawyers. These new classes adopted this social role as a core part of their own self-image, helping to shape the public interest during a period of profound change. Part of the SOAS/Routledge Studies on the Middle East series, this text provides a detailed look at the social and professional shifts that defined the colonial coordinates of selfhood. It is an essential resource for those studying world history, Middle Eastern social structures, and the development of the public sphere.
