We discuss how the architecture of Topkapı palace, the emergence of new bureaucratic practices, and the administration of space from Hungary to Lebanon projected early modern discourses of “order” that were crucial to imperial legitimacy, governance, and dissent. Heather also offers rare insights into the challenges, vulnerabilities, and victories of transforming a dissertation into a prize-winning book manuscript. </div> <br> </div><a href="https://www.ottomanhistorypodcast.com/2019/12/language-power-ottoman-empire.html#more">« Click for More »</a>
