Abstract
What, actually, meant “modernisation” for the long 19th century Middle Easterner? Stephan Guth finds the essence of the so-called Arab(ic) “Renaissance” (and corresponding movements in Turkish) in emerging subjectivity and the subjects’ new attitude towards the World as the field of their agency. This collection of essays on language, literature, and key concepts reflects the author’s life-long engagement with the culture of this period.
