Abstract

Diplomska naloga obravnava harem Osmanskega cesarstva kot večplasten fenomen, ki združuje fizični, politični in simbolni prostor. Delo se osredotoča na obdobje od 16. do 18. stoletja, da bi presegla stereotipne predstave harema kot zgolj prostora ženske podrejenosti ter osvetlila oblike pragmatične svobode, ki so jih ženske imele znotraj tega sistema. Ključni primeri, kot sta Kösem Sultan in Hürrem Sultan, kažejo, kako so sultanke oblikovale politično krajino cesarstva ter si z različnimi strategijami pridobivale vpliv in prevlado. Raziskava obravnava harem ne le kot fizični prostor, temveč tudi kot simbolni okvir, skozi katerega je mogoče razumeti vlogo žensk v patriarhalni družbi Osmanskega cesarstva, ki je bila bistveno drugačna, kot so jo prikazovala orientalistična besedila. Poleg del, ki temeljijo na analizi pisnih virov, vključuje študije arhitekturne zasnove harema, umetnosti, oblačil in literature, da bi osvetlila, kako so ženske uporabljale materialne in simbolne elemente za izražanje svoje avtoritete. V tem kontekstu analizira tudi primarni narativni vir. Vključena je filozofska interpretacija moči, temelječa zlasti na konceptu pragmatične svobode in političnega delovanja. Harem je predstavljen kot prostor preseka med zasebnim in javnim, kjer je bila moč žensk največkrat izražena posredno, prek vzgoje dedičev, spletkarjenja in diplomatskih vezi. Zaključek pokaže, da je harem pomemben prostor za razumevanje politične vloge žensk v zgodovini. Ponuja izhodišča za nadaljnje raziskave, povezane z ženskimi strategijami vpliva v omejevalnih družbenih sistemih.

Secondary title: Pragmatic freedom for women in the Ottoman harem in the early modern period
Secondary abstract: The thesis treats the harem of the Ottoman Empire as a multifaceted phenomenon that combines physical, political, and symbolic space. It focuses on the period from the 16th to the 18th century in order to transcend stereotypical notions of the harem as merely a space of female subordination and to shed light on the forms of pragmatic freedom that women enjoyed within this system. Key examples, such as Kösem Sultan and Hürrem Sultan, show how sultanas shaped the political landscape of the empire and gained influence and dominance using various strategies. The research treats the harem not only as a physical space, but also as a symbolic framework through which it is possible to understand the role of women in the patriarchal society of the Ottoman Empire, which was significantly different from how it was portrayed in Orientalist texts. In addition to works based on the analysis of written sources, it includes studies of the architectural design of the harem, art, clothing, and literature to shed light on how women used material and symbolic elements to express their authority. In the context, the thesis analyzes a primary narrative source. It also includes a philosophical interpretation of power, based in particular on the concept of pragmatic freedom and political action. The harem is presented as a space between the private and the public, where women's power was most often expressed indirectly, through the education of heirs, intrigue, and diplomatic ties. The conclusion shows that the harem is an important space for understanding the political role of women in history. It offers starting points for further research related to women's strategies of influence in restrictive social systems.
