Internationally, however, there have been few publications on this subject. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book closes this gap by investigating \u003cem\u003eʿışḳ\u003c\/em\u003e in different genres and contexts. Whereas the terms \u003cem\u003eḥubb\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emaḥabbet\u003c\/em\u003e point to comfort and care, the term \u003cem\u003eʿışḳ\u003c\/em\u003e denotes passionate love; often laced with mystical connotations. Through this lens we show that Ottoman lyrical realities transgressed the rules, burgeoning beyond conventional settings and giving voice to vivid creativity. Large parts of urban society indulged in poetry and thereby challenged certain norms. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christiane Czygan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48265107996923,"sku":"9783111341545","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_01651e67-453f-4e3b-a5b1-75fc255f330f.jpg?v=1776638436","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/challenging-conventions-9783111341545","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
