    Seminar - Urban studies

    Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar 2008-2009

    Daily Life in Ottoman Towns

    What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies, with a specific focus on daily life issues. This seminar is supported by the research program ‘Europe in the Middle East – The Middle East in Europe’ EUME with funds of the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.

    Study days - Urban studies

    Occuper, organiser et ordonner l'espace urbain

    Rôles et actions des groupes dominants dans la ville (XVIIIe-XXe siècle)

    La journée d'étude organisée par le programme de recherche « Les élites dans la ville » de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles se penchera, dans la diachronie et l'interdisciplinarité, sur l'action des groupes dominants dans la structuration et la composition urbaines. Les modes d’insertion et d’emprise des groupes élitaires y seront abordés par trois entrées thématiques : l’occupation de la ville, par l’intermédiaire de la résidence ; l’organisation de la mobilité, par l’action sur les transports urbains ; et l’ordonnancement des espaces, à travers la maîtrise du foncier.
