SUMMARY
The division of leisure time in Constantinople (Istanbul) presented distinct differences depending on gender and social stratification. However, in many cases, certain forms of entertainment became a “meeting point” for different social and ethnic-religious groups, as well as a point of communication and source of interaction between “high” and “popular” culture. Within this framework, the coffee-house, the tavern and every kind of spectacle was an integral part. |
