monsters which combine human and animal elements in a single form.
Comic poets took advantage of the dual nature of these mythological creatures
in order to enrich their dramas and provoke laughter. Two main techniques of
paratragedy are being used for the depiction of this type of creatures in Greek
Comedy: “atticization” and metatheatricality. When transferred to the comic
stage and played by actors, these hybrid monsters lose part of their “monstrosity”
and are assimilated to comic types: the Centaur, for example, turns into
an old man and Oedipus’ Sphinx is depicted as a half-animal crone. The main
source of comic effect is this clash between the mythical and the ordinary:
monsters are presented as Athenian citizens living in everyday circumstances
and citizens are likened to these mythical beasts accordingly. The incorporation
of these monsters into domestic plots and their ludicrous portrayal by
padded actors result in revealing their artificiality and consequently stressing
their “humanization” over their savagery.

As the relevant treatises by Ottoman administrators and intellectuals reveal, reform and change became contested matters especially from the second half of the sixteenth century onwards: some authors felt the need for reform and advocated for it; others perceived changes as a challenge to the traditional order and suggested a return to what was considered the ‘Golden Age’ of the Empire. Eventually, in the grand narrative of Ottoman history, it is the Tanzimat which represents the climax of the process of transformation of the Empire. Even though it is often attributed to the influence (and pressure) of Western Europe, recent studies emphasise the internal dynamics of Ottoman society and administration rather than external factors, treating the developments of the seventeenth and the eighteenth century as a course towards modernity. This volume aims to explore Ottoman political thought and seeks answers to questions such as those: Did Ottoman political thinkers precede policy-makers in proposing reform, or did political writers feel surpassed by developments with which they did not agree? What was the relation of religion-oriented ideological currents with like-minded reforms in the fiscal and landholding systems? What was the relation between European (and/or Iranian) thought and Ottoman political developments? Was there innovative political thinking that led to the radical reforms of the Tanzimat era? Moreover, the volume seeks to investigate the relation of political ideas to the political praxis of their time: i.e. to examine the nature of political power in the various stages of the Empire, the developments that led particular groups to advocate specific reforms, the power networks at the administrative and political levels, the reception of political reform in Istanbul and the provinces, the participation of various political actors in state policy-making and its legitimisation, and so forth.
