[Northwestern Univ. Keyman Modern Turkish Studies Program] Visiting Speaker Dr. Baki Tezcan – The emasculated guardians of power: Black eunuchs and the interplay between gender and race at the Ottoman imperial court
March 12, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
In the light of four books that were either written with a view to secure the patronage of the Chief Black Eunuch of the Ottoman court, or to critique him, between the early seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries, Dr. Tezcan will discuss Ottoman literary representations of Africans and how these representations intersect with the heavily gendered environment of the court.
