Internationally, however, there have been few publications on this subject. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book closes this gap by investigating \u003cem\u003eʿıshḳ\u003c\/em\u003e in different genres and contexts. Whereas the terms \u003cem\u003eḥubb\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emaḥabbet\u003c\/em\u003e point to comfort and care, the term \u003cem\u003eʿıshḳ\u003c\/em\u003e denotes passionate love; often laced with mystical connotations. Through this lens we show that Ottoman lyrical realities transgressed the rules, burgeoning beyond conventional settings and giving voice to vivid creativity. Large parts of urban society indulged in poetry and thereby challenged certain norms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiane Czygan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111341542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111341545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Christiane Czygan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825936617727,"sku":"9783111341545","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dba4db9e-93c1-4913-a049-ca912bf5a6f5.jpg?v=1746074076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenging-conventions-christiane-czygan-9783111341545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
