Description
Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi (1541-1628) is a famous Ottoman Sufi saint whose mausoleum (türbe) in Üsküdar (Asian side of Istanbul) has not ceased to be a a point of attraction up to the present. In her "biography" of this vibrant pilgrimage site, Esther Voswinckel Filiz explores the multi-layered materialities of this place and the transitions between seemingly distinct categories such as "place" and "person," "text" and "textile," between things and living beings, and between the material and immaterial. The book is both a vividly written ethnography of Islamic saint veneration and a meticulous examination of the material culture of Ottoman and contemporary Sufism in Istanbul.

Reviews
»Das Ergebnis der Ethnographie ist beeindruckend, weil die Autorin es schafft, ihre Leser*innen literarisch anspruchsvoll auf ihre Spurensuche ins sufische Milieu von Üsküdar/Istanbul mitzunehmen und in dieses einzuführen. In bestechender Klarheit wird hier gelebte Religion am Beispiel eines Mikrokosmos, dessen Gravitationszentrum das Mausoleum von Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi bildet, in seinen materiellen bis ideellen Komponenten verständlich gemacht.«
