Homer's stories of Troy are part of the foundations of Western culture. What's less well known is that they also inspired Ottoman-Turkish cultural traditions. Yet even with all the historical and archaeological research into Homer and Troy, most scholars today rely heavily on Western sources, giving Ottoman work in the field short shrift. This book helps right that balance, exploring Ottoman-Turkish involvement and interest in the subject between 1870, when Heinrich Schliemann began his excavations in search of Troy on Ottoman soil, and the battle of Gallipoli in 1915, which gave the Turks their own version of the heroic epic of Troy.

L’Empire ottoman était aussi un empire maritime. Cette facette de sa nature a suscité chez les historiens un intérêt croissant depuis quelques années. Consacré à l’« insularité ottomane », le présent volume est une participation originale aux réflexions en cours. Son objet n’est pas de rassembler des monographies, mais de répondre à la question suivante : en quoi les îles étaient-elles des territoires différents des autres, avec des populations spécifiques, des problèmes spécifiques et des solutions spécifiques ? À partir de sources souvent inédites, les contributeurs s’interrogent ainsi sur la logique présidant à la conquête des îles, sur leur organisation et sur la façon dont la Porte considérait ces territoires un peu particuliers. Abordant également la question du point de vue des îles elles-mêmes, ils se penchent sur la composition ethnique et religieuse des sociétés insulaires, évaluent leur éventuel caractère de conservatoire ethnographique, examinent les modalités des communications des îles entre elles et avec le reste du monde, soulignent les problèmes de sécurité liés notamment au risque pirate. Enfin des éléments de comparaison avec d’autres insularités méditerranéennes permettent de mieux cerner les spécificités ottomanes. Un intérêt particulier est évidemment accordé aux îles méditerranéennes, mais d’autres îles ottomanes, qui n’avaient jamais fait l’objet d’études, sont également traitées : îles de la mer Rouge, îles du Danube.

This volume explores the variety of ways in which childhood was experienced, lived and remembered in the late Ottoman Empire and its successor states. The period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a time of rapid change, and the history of childhood reflects the impact of new expectations, lived realities and national responsibilities on the youngest members of societies undergoing monumental change because of ideological, wartime and demographic shifts. Drawing on comparisons both within the Balkans, Turkey and the Arab lands and with Western Europe and beyond, the chapters investigate the many ways in which upheaval and change affected the youth. Particular attention is paid to changing conceptions of childhood, gender roles and newly dominant national imperatives. Contributors include: Elif Akşit, Laurence Brockliss, Nazan Çiçek, Alex Drace-Francis, Benjamin C. Fortna, Naoum Kaytchev, Duygu Köksal, Kathryn Libal, Nazan Maksudyan, Heidi Morrison, and Philipp Wirtz. This title, in its entirety, is available online in Open Access.

Explores translation in the context of the multi-lingual, multi-ethnic late-Ottoman Mediterranean world. Fénelon, Offenbach and the Iliad in Arabic, Robinson Crusoe in Turkish, the Bible in Greek-alphabet Turkish, excoriated French novels circulating through the Ottoman Empire in Greek, Arabic and Turkish: literary translation at the eastern end of the Mediterranean offered worldly vistas and new, hybrid genres to emerging literate audiences in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Whether to propagate 'national' language reform, circulate the Bible, help audiences understand European opera, argue for girls' education, institute pan-Islamic conversations, introduce political concepts, share the Persian Gulistan with Anglophone readers in Bengal, or provide racy fiction to schooled adolescents in Cairo and Istanbul, translation was an essential tool. But as these essays show, translators were inventors, and their efforts might yield surprising results.

L’humaniste Paolo Giovio incarne la pensée du milieu intellectuel moderne sur les Turcs et l’Europe sans jamais entrer dans des controverses religieuses. Il remplit son rôle de conseiller en conduisant son public à se forger sa propre opinion. Sa vaste culture humaniste allie une connaissance parfaite de l’histoire, des sciences et des arts à une remarquable maîtrise de l’art rhétorique. L’œuvre de Giovio traduit le sentiment de son milieu vis-à-vis de la question turque dans un contexte rendu difficile par les offensives de l’Empire ottoman et les guerres fratricides entre chrétiens. Son œuvre abondante et amplement documentée offre une information très précise sur les Turcs. La présentation par Giovio d’événements notables visant à alerter ses contemporains et les renseigner sur leurs adversaires permet non seulement de mieux connaître les Ottomans mais également de pénétrer dans la mentalité de son temps et d’apprécier comment l’idée d’une Europe contrainte de se défendre contre ses ennemis a pu se constituer alors, jetant les bases de celle d’aujourd’hui, héritière des conceptions humanistes.

Perhaps unexpectedly, English travel writing during the long eighteenth century reveals a discourse of global civility. By bringing together representations of the then already familiar Ottoman Empire and the largely unknown South Pacific, Sascha Klement adopts a uniquely global perspective and demonstrates how cross-cultural encounters were framed by Enlightenment philosophy, global interconnections, and even-handed exchanges across cultural divides. In so doing, this book shows that both travel and travel-writing from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries were much more complex and multi-layered than reductive Eurocentric histories often suggest.

The Western world stereotypically associates Ottoman or 'Turkish' prisons with images of torture, narcotics and brutal sexual behaviour. Now, Kent F. Schull argues that these prisons were actually a site of immense reform and contestation during the 19th century. It was within these prisons' walls that many of the pressing questions of Ottoman modernity were worked out; questions of administrative centralisation, Islamic criminal law and punishment, gender and childhood, prisoner rehabilitation, bureaucracy, identity and social engineering. By juxtaposing them with the reality of prison life, Schull investigates how state-mandated reforms affected the lives of local prison officials and inmates. He shows how these individuals actively conformed to, contested and manipulated new penal policies and practices for their own benefit.

Today's headlines are full of references to jihad and jihadists, but they're nothing new: a century ago, the entry of the Ottoman Empire into World War I was accompanied by a loud proclamation of jihad as well. This book resurrects that largely forgotten aspect of the war, investigating the background and nature of the proclamation, as well as its effects in the wider Middle East, the fears it stoked among German and British military leaders, and the accompanying academic debates about holy war and Islam.
