摘要

居住在这些土地上的社区是政治和经济进步的必然结果。Çiçek对部落的描述也假定了那些拥有军事力量和社区尊重的贝都因领袖获得酋长地位的“无可争议的合法性”(19)。Çiçek给予这些经常出现在帝国档案中的个人一种高级代理:在他的描述中,他们,而不是他们更广泛的社区,是“帝国的伙伴”。这种精英合法性的主张与Çiçek对“纯粹的游牧民”(据称对农业不感兴趣)和“定居的”农牧贝都因人群体之间的社会建构划分的具体化相结合。“纯粹”和“半定居”群体之间的区分在贝都因社区本身和与之相关的人类学文献中广泛存在,许多学者将其作为一种解释手段,而不是一种社会结构和分析批评的对象。例如,当叙述19世纪70年代奥斯曼帝国在摩苏尔安置沙玛人社区的计划失败时,Çiçek采用了奥斯曼帝国的官方立场,即沙玛人拒绝定居,因为他们是“纯粹的游牧民族”。这一论点排除了对沙玛社区内部动态和围绕土地分配解决所带来的政治紧张局势的进一步历史调查。Çiçek的专著是对越来越多的研究帝国城市以外和农业领域以外的奥斯曼政治经济的学术机构的重要贡献。他的书对居住在讲阿拉伯语的奥斯曼世界内部地区的社区的政治、经济和社会角色的历史研究的未来前景作出了姿态。

munities inhabiting those lands as a necessary corollary of political and economic progress. Çiçek’s description of the tribe also posits an “undisputed legitimacy” for those bedouin leaders with the martial strength and community respect to attain the position of sheikh (19). Çiçek grants these individuals, who appear most frequently in imperial archives, a high level of agency: they, rather than their wider communities, are the “partners of the empire” in his account. This claim of elite legitimacy works alongside Çiçek’s reification of the socially constructed division between “pure nomads” who purportedly had no interest in agriculture and “sedentary” agropastoralist bedouin groups. This division between “pure” and “semi-sedentary” groups holds wide provenance among bedouin communities themselves and the anthropological literature associated with them, and many scholars have used it as an explanatory device rather than a social construct and object of analytical criticism. For example, when narrating the failure of an Ottoman project to settle Shammar communities in Mosul in the 1870s, Çiçek adopts the Ottoman official position that the Shammar refused to settle because they were “pure nomads.” This argument precludes further historical inquiry into the internal dynamics of Shammar communities and the political tensions surrounding the land distributions settlement entailed. Çiçek’s monograph is a crucial contribution to a growing body of scholarship on Ottoman political economy outside the empire’s cities and exclusively agricultural realms. His book gestures toward a future horizon of historical research on the political, economic, and social roles of the communities inhabiting the interior regions of the Arabic-speaking Ottoman world.
