Abstract

Abstract:The term teneke mahalle, literally "tin can neighbourhood," has been widely used since the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 to describe a specific kind of urban fabrication, possibly poor and physically dilapidated, but also the sole, cheapest, and undoubtedly creative solution for the urgent housing needs of the poorest segments of the urban population. Even though these neighbourhoods were initially built at least partly by Muslim refugees, the Roma Mohadjirs, teneke mahalles also welcomed other poor members of society seeking informal, easily accessible, and safe housing in late Ottoman Istanbul. This study discusses the role of the Roma in the formation of teneke mahalles, and the socio-historical dynamics that directed the non-Roma poor to co-inhabitation with Roma in these teneke mahalles, and outlines their socio-economic and cultural profile from various respects on the basis of the two oldest examples of this socio-spatial and perceptual phenomenon in Istanbul.

奥斯曼帝国晚期首都的Teneke mahalles：罗姆移民和当地穷人共同居住的社会空间基础

摘要：自1877-1878年俄土战争以来，teneke mahalle一词，字面意思是“锡罐社区”，一直被广泛用于描述一种特定的城市制造，可能贫穷且破旧，但也是解决城市人口中最贫穷阶层迫切住房需求的唯一、最便宜且毫无疑问的创造性解决方案。尽管这些街区最初至少部分是由穆斯林难民建造的，但罗姆人、莫哈吉尔人、特内克·马哈勒斯也欢迎其他贫困社会成员在奥斯曼帝国晚期的伊斯坦布尔寻求非正式、方便和安全的住房。本研究讨论了罗姆人在teneke mahalles形成过程中的作用，以及引导非罗姆穷人与罗姆人共同居住在这些teneke mahales的社会历史动态，并根据伊斯坦布尔这一社会空间和感知现象的两个最古老的例子，从各个方面概述了他们的社会经济和文化概况。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1888, the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In 2000, the journal became Romani Studies. On behalf of the Gypsy Lore Society, Romani Studies features articles on many different communities which, regardless of their origins and self-appellations in various languages, have been referred to in English as Gypsies. These communities include the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent which have been considered as falling into three large subdivisions, Dom, Lom, and Rom. The field has also included communities of other origins which practice, or in the past have practiced, a specific type of service nomadism. The journal publishes articles in history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, linguistics, art, literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual materials.
