Approches textuelles et iconographiques
Dès qu’un personnage historique devient source de création littéraire, il tend à se transformer en figure « mythique » (à entendre ici au sens d’un mythe littéraire). Saladin, Baybars, Gengis Khan, par exemple, ont donné naissance à d’innombrables récits fabuleux devenus supports de croyance, interférant parfois rétroactivement dans les sources historiques. Les contacts entre Croisés, Mongols et Musulmans ont favorisé, de part et d’autre, l’élaboration d’images types et le développement des valeurs et des représentations qui s’y rattachent, en particulier pour les souverains. -

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.
