  Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar (2009-2010)

  Post-Ottoman Cities

  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. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi.

  Bosra et Jérash. L’évolution du paysage urbain de deux villes de la province d’Arabie

  L’enjeu aujourd’hui est de montrer dans quelles mesures les Arabes conquérants ont investi les villes antiques, dans le Proche-Orient des VIIe-IXe siècles, et quelle coloration ils insufflèrent au fait urbain. En quoi l’évolution du paysage urbain à partir de l’époque omeyyade fut-elle révélarice de phénomènes d’innovations technologiques, de changements des mentalités, dans le fonctionnement du pouvoir ou dans l’idéologie religieuse ? Depuis plusieurs années, de nombreux chercheurs de l’Ifpo conduisent des fouilles archéologiques sur le site de deux villes Bosra et Jérash, conquises par traités en 10/632-14/636. Il a paru judicieux de tenter de répondre à ces questions en nous appuyant sur l’exemple de ces deux villes, proches à la fois par leur histoire et par leur position géographique.

  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.
