These compositions included Crusade orations and histories; ethnographic, historical, and religious studies of the Turks; epic poetry; and even tracts on converting the Turks to Christianity. Most scholars have seen this vast literature as atypical of Renaissance humanism. Nancy Bisaha now offers an in-depth look at the body of Renaissance humanist works that focus not on classical or contemporary Italian subjects but on the Ottoman Empire, Islam, and the Crusades. Throughout, Bisaha probes these texts to reveal the significant role Renaissance writers played in shaping Western views of self and other.Medieval concepts of Islam were generally informed and constrained by religious attitudes and rhetoric in which Muslims were depicted as enemies of the faith. While humanist thinkers of the Renaissance did not move entirely beyond this stance, Creating East and West argues that their understanding was considerably more complex, in that it addressed secular and cultural issues, marking a watershed between the medieval and modern. Taking a close look at a number of texts, Bisaha expands current notions of Renaissance humanism and of the history of cross-cultural perceptions. Engaging both traditional methods of intellectual history and more recent methods of cross-cultural studies, she demonstrates that modern attitudes of Western societies toward other cultures emerged not during the later period of expansion and domination but rather as a defensive intellectual reaction to a sophisticated and threatening power to the East. 606 $aEast and West 606 $aHumanists 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 615 0$aEast and West. 615 0$aHumanists. 676 $a956.1/0151/004 700 $aBisaha$b Nancy$0620945 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781887703321 996 $aCreating East and West$91103402 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03149nam 22007095 450 001 9910299382403321 005 20240313102240.0 010 $a9781137600868 010 $a1137600861 024 7 $a10.1057/978-1-137-60086-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000000587030 035 $a(DE-He213)978-1-137-60086-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5061443 035 $a(PPN)204537037 035 $a(Perlego)3493401 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000000587030 100 $a20170927d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 12$aA Critical Approach to International Water Management Trends $ePolicy and Practice /$fedited by Christian Bréthaut, Rémi Schweizer 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aLondon :$cPalgrave Macmillan UK :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (XI, 305 p. 24 illus., 17 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aPalgrave Studies in Water Governance: Policy and Practice,$x2947-9118 311 08$a9781137600851 311 08$a1137600853 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 330 $aThis edited volume provides a critical discussion of particular trends that are widely recognised to influence water management by comparing them with what is actually happening in the field. Among others, these trends include water security, adaptive or integrative management, and the water-energy-food nexus, which are often presented as essential means to reaching more sustainable and resilient water use. However, the extent to which these trends have managed to structure concrete practices in water management remains uncertain.  Informed by empirically grounded research, each chapter of this work engages with a particular approach, concept or theory. Together, they provide a nuanced picture of trends in water management that require universal remedies and global norms. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Water Governance: Policy and Practice,$x2947-9118 606 $aPollution 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aPollution 606 $aWater 606 $aPhysical Geography 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 14$aPollution. 615 24$aWater. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 676 $a363.7394 676 $a363.73946 702 $aBréthaut$b Christian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSchweizer$b Rémi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299382403321 996 $aA Critical Approach to International Water Management Trends$92529345 997 $aUNINA
