What were the political and cultural repercussions of the spread of print culture in Egypt and Greater Syria in the thirteenth/nineteenth century? How did manuscripts and printed books circulate between the Ottoman Arab provinces, Istanbul, and Europe?
In this course, we will examine the link between the circulation of books and developing ideas about Arab cultural heritage.
We will consider the writings and practices of leading Arab authors, publishers, and editors as well as those of lesser-known book collectors and traders, with a focus on the inherently transregional and diachronic nature of the shift from a manuscript to a print culture.
We will integrate the study of the materiality of this shift in the form of early editions and manuscripts, including documents relating to book circulation. Additionally, we will examine the wider socio-political context of nineteenth-century book culture, including perceptions of that pivotal time in contemporary postcolonial debates and in the latest research into manuscript provenance.
