    Episode 1: Requiem for a Western Fantasy- The Reality of the Imperial Harem

    Synopsis: Angela explores the Turkish Harem through the lens of renowned artist Jean-Auguste Dominique’s ‘The Turkish Bath’ and turns the colors and images inward upon themselves to reveal the misconceptions of Ottoman society by the West. Angela then takes the listener through a brief historical survey of the Ottoman Empire with a critical focus upon the Harem. Along the way four phases in the development of the Harem are explored as the institution’s fortunes rise and fall with that of the Empire. The four phases will be the foundation of future podcast episodes and act as a guide for the listener.
