Order and Disorder: Anthropological Perspectives
Disorder and instability are matters of continuing public concern. Terrorism, as a threat to global order, has been added to preoccupations with political unrest, deviance and crime.

The Dede Korkut Ethic
The Book of Dede Korkut is an early record of oral Turkic folktales in Anatolia, and as such, one of the mythic charters of Turkish nationalist ideology. The oldest versions of the Book of Dede Korkut consist of two manuscripts copied sometime during the 16th century. The twelve stories that are recorded in these manuscripts are believed to be derived from a cycle of stories and songs circulating among Turkic peoples living in northeastern Anatol…

The book's primary data are the classic studies of the linguistically related and neighboring Nilotic-speaking Nuer and Dinka of the Southern Sudan by Francis Deng, E.E. Evans-Pritchard, and Godfrey Lienhardt. The book compares the Nilotic-speaking peoples with …

They argue that literat…

Meaning and Society in the Near East: Examples from the Black Sea Turks and the Levatine Arabs (II)
In this part,* the concept of honor among Black Sea Turks is compared with the concept of honor among clans (hamûla) of Levantine Arabs. The system of meaning among the Arabs is similar to that among the Black Sea Turks, but the cultural structuring of this system of meaning is different. First, the differences in cultural structuring are explained in detail. Then, the two contrasting structurings are shown to provide an understanding of a number…
The Black Sea Turks: Some Aspects of Their Ethnic and Cultural Background
The social and cultural composition of Turkey's provincial society is still poorly understood, not only in the West, but in Turkey itself. Because of this situation, contemporary accounts of Turkish society have a tendency to underestimate the variety of provincial life and to discount the importance of this variety for the nation as a whole. Some events in recent decades, it is true, have certainly eroded the diversity of provincial society. The…
