Children and Youth Coerced Displacement: A History of Power Struggle between State and Provincial A‘yān’s Families

Reda Rafei

This article offers a new perspective on children and youth’s coerced displacement in the context of the Ottoman Middle East and highlights their potential as a social group to inform studies of children, kinship, and family vis-a-vis the state. Using iltizām contracts, I argue that the Ottoman state prioritized its stability and economic interests and turned a blind eye to promises it made to ensure the “well-being” of young Ottoman subjects. The contracts recorded around the mid-eighteenth century document an institutionalized practice by the state to remove and incarcerate young and minor males associated with the families of multazims, or tax farmers, who generally hailed from the class of provincial notables, or a‘yān, to persuade the latter to render payment of taxes. Although multazims appeared to be indifferent to the fate of their castaway children, evidence suggests that multazims took advantage of geopolitical changes toward the last quarter of the eighteenth century to avoid the incarceration of their children, as the practice completely disappeared at that time. This article also attempts to approach the question of whether this forced displacement of children represents a form of mobility, in comparison to other forms of children’s mobility, like the devširme, and explores what this meant for the expansion, or retraction, of the state power and its governing policies.

Cult Vocabulary in Buryat Traditional Culture: Semantics, Genesis, and Aspects of Functioning

Eleonora A. Nemanova

One of the most promising aspects of research into the cult tradition of the Buryats is the study of the concepts of ‘cult’ and ‘sacred’. Goals. The paper aims to analyze the issue of applying the category of ‘sacred’ developed by European religious studies to the lexical material associated with the category of the sacred in the traditional culture of the Buryats on the basis of etymological and historical-genetic research. Results. Description of the scope of application of the concept of ‘sacred’ in Buryat culture, as well as semantic analysis are necessary to avoid inadequate interpretations and extrapolations while using respective lexemes. By virtue of their conservatism, ritual terms contain invaluable evidence of the cultural and historical perspectives, preserve the valuable information that allows us to reconstruct the ethnography of the past, its social structures, spiritual culture, including the cult tradition.

Santa Cruz da Rufina: Devoção e Tradição Oral da Fé

Cícero Joaquim dos Santos

Este artigo analisa a tradição oral dos milagres da Santa Cruz da Rufina, localizada na zona rural do município de Porteiras, no Cariri cearense. Segundo os fiéis mais idosos, esse objeto de devoção foi erguido em memória da jovem Rufina que, entre os fins do século XIX e o início do século XX, fora violentada e assassinada num matagal, vítima de uma trama amorosa. Como resultado do martírio sofrido e, levando em consideração a ausência dos ritos fúnebres outrora considerados necessários para a bem-aventurança da alma, a Santa Cruz da Rufina tornou-se um objeto sagrado para os moradores das áreas circunvizinhas. A partir da metodologia da história oral, o trabalho problematiza a transmissão oral das graças alcançadas pelos narradores, atribuídas à intercessão da alma da Rufina, da Cruz que a representa e do espaço sagrado onde fora erguida.

(Non)respecting of human rights and basic freedoms in context of contemporary social conflicts in Kosovo and Metohia

Aritonović Ivana

In this work an emphasis of problems of (non)respecting human rights and freedoms of ethnical minorities in Kosovo and Metohia, primarily from descriptive and then critic points of view. Foundation for writing this work was a book written by Srđan Slović, Human Rights, CSCE/OSCE and Kosovo Crisis, in which the author theoretically analyzed the concept of human rights and freedoms, as well as difficulties related to respecting those rights within the mission of OSCE in Kosovo and Metohia. It turns out that, after twelve years of Mission's presence, there are still some flagrant violations of human rights and freedoms of ethnic minorities in the province, that are furthermore jeopardized by unilateral declaration of independence of the province and by work of international organizations, such as EULEX, ICO and KFOR that assist on a daily basis so-called Kosovo institutions in tendencies to integrate Serbs into institutional system they do not want to accept. Hence OSCE comes to scene as the only international organization with 'status neutral', to whose representatives Serbs in Kosovo can address and ask for help in cases when their rights are violated.
