Many seminal concepts in the analysis of the 'Islamic' city or of the 'Arab city' were built in the Egyptian context. The Ottoman period however has always had a speficific status in this panorama. Between the 'medieval' paradigm of Islamic urban governance and the 'modern' paradigm of reformed urban governance, Ottoman times have always been objects of contradictory readings. On the one hand they were
seen in Egypt as a distorsion of the medieval urban heritage, and on the other hand they were already a distorsion of the relationship to urban modernity, a relationship then even more distorted by the colonial influence. The object of this paper, based on the study of archives from BOA in Istanbul, court record in Cairo and SHAT in Vincennes, and on local chronicles, is to try and propose a reading of urban government features
in Ottoman Egypt that could both go beyond this unsatisfactory dichotomy and discuss such important paradigms as old regime urban governance and the various morphologies of reform of the inherited framework, the aim being to discuss the very nature of urban governance in Ottoman Egypt, between institutional aspects and the various scales of relationship of the individual to power, urbanity, citadinity, community, religion and profession.

Prostitution, Islamic Law and Ottoman Societies

The article uses prostitution as a case study to investigate the relationships between the different genres of legal writing and between normative law and legal practice. It also throws light on various manifestations of prostitution in the Ottoman provinces of Egypt and Syria between the mid-sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries.
