  • Orientalism

    A L MacfieBOOKOrientalism2019Citada por: 1

    In the period of decolonisation that followed the end of the Second World War a number of scholars, mainly Middle Eastern, launched a sustained assault on Orientalism - the theory and practice of representing 'the Orient' in Western thought -accusing its practitioners of misrepresentation, prejudice and bias. As a result an intense debate occurred regarding the validity of the charges made, involving not only Orientalists but students of history,…

  • Eastern Influences on Western Philosophy

    A L MacfieBOOKEastern Influences on Western…2019

    The influence of East on West - of Eastern ideas on Western thought - has become an increasingly vexed issue in recent times. Opinion is divided between two main schools: those who believe that Oriental ideas have exercised a considerable influence on Western thought, and those who, for a variety of reasons, believe that such influence has remained negligible. In this Reader A. L. Macfie suggests that the reality lies somewhere between these two …

  • British Views of the Turkish National Movement in Anatolia, 1919-22

    A L MacfieARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies2002

    British views of the Turkish national movement in Anatolia differed according to the point of view adopted. Whereas British officials on the spot, in Constantinople (Istanbul, occupied by the Entente Powers, Britain, France and Italy, following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War) and Anatolia tended to view the movement as the product of a conspiracy, organized by elements within the Ottoman government, in particular the Mini…

  • British Intelligence and the Turkish National Movement, 1919-22

    Readers of Keith Jeffery and Alan Sharp's article 'Lord Curzon and Secret Intelligence', in Christopher Andrew and Jeremy Noakes (eds.) Intelligence and International Relations (University of Exeter, 1987), and Robin Denniston's Churchill's Secret War (Sutton Publishing, Stroud, 1997), might be excused for concluding that British intelligence regarding the Turkish national movement in Anatolia in the period of national struggle, 1919-22, was obta…

    A L MacfieARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies1991

    In the period immediately following the outbreak of war between Mehmet Ali, the ruler of Egypt, and the Ottoman sultan in 1831, and the military intervention of Russia and the Treaty of Hunkiar Iskelesi to which it gave rise, public opinion in Great Britain, till then generally complacent and ill-informed, underwent a dramatic change, culminating in a bout of Russophobia, unparalleled in its intensity. Among the numerous publications which gave e…

  • A Proverb Poem by Levni

    Levni Levni, A L Macfie et al.ARTICLEAsian Folklore Studies1989

    As Rosalind Fergusson points out in her preface to the Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs (1982, v), proverbs exist in virtually all the languages of the world. In Turkish, throughout the Ottoman period, they were frequently gathered together in poems, which it was hoped would act as guides to conduct, compendiums of wisdom and experience. The following example, loosely translated from a shortened version of the eighteenth century original, Atas6zler…

    A L MacfieARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies1983Referencias: 1

    On the outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914, the Entente Powers paid little attention to developments in the area of the Turkish Straits.' It was generally believed that the war would not last long and that the decisive battles would be fought on the French and Russian fronts. In so far as the position on the Straits was considered, it was looked at in the general context of Balkan politics and diplomacy. In view of the leading position of in…
