In addition to the core provinces of Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, it also includes connections between these regions and others further away--notably Iran, Inner Asia, and the Indian Ocean. The essays collected here suggest that the phenomenon of imagined geographies is essentially discursive in nature, since Self and Other may only be defined relative to one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dimitri Kastritsis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674278461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674278462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Dimitri Kastritsis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070784729343,"sku":"9780674278462","price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a7d2abe-6f2f-4083-b0ca-a741301ebb17.jpg?v=1685432312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagined-geographies-in-the-mediterranean-dimitri-kastritsis-9780674278462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
