Kommentar
This course focuses on close reading and critical examination of archival material written in
Ottoman Turkish from the mid nineteenth century onwards. It introduces a wide variety of
documents to acquaint the students with different forms of writing, official and non official
authorships, and voices from distinct socio economic and ethno religious backgrounds. These
forms include but are not limited to, individual and collective petitions, personal letters, local and
imperial council decisions, diplomatic correspondence, public announcements, and investigation
reports While reading, transcribing, and interpreting texts, a particular palaeographic emphasis
will be paid to the para textual elements such as style , cataloguing, addressee, date, seals and
marginalia to have a more comprehensive picture of the content. In doing so, the participants will
be encouraged to analyse the (re)productions and ( mis/ re)presentations of Ottoman documents
within the historical context and to trace their journey across borders, languages and offices.
Ultimately, the course aims to contribute to greater fluency and command of Ottoman archiving
and administrative thinking and reinforce students’ ability to conduct independent archi val research
on and beyond the former territories of the Ottoman Empire.
Suggested readings and guidebooks will support the course
. Regular attendance and active
participation are required. For further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the instructor. Schließen
