Nazan Maksudyan
Kommentar
This course will offer a social history of the global mobility of peoples, ideas, and things in the late Ottoman Empire. From the spread of diseases to the “landing” of Pergamon in Berlin, from English and German governesses in Istanbul households to the introduction of devices of pasteurization and sterilization in Darülacaze foundling asylum, the late Ottoman history was stage for a wide range of mobile entities. This was mostly caused by the emergence and spread of new communication technologies, as much as by a novel interest in and a new value attached to the movement itself. Nineteenth century Ottoman rulers dared not only to move their imperial palace after four centuries and twenty-five sultans, but also traveled themselves to “infidel lands”, this time not for conquest but for inspiration. The contrast between those who benefit from “global mobility” and those who are disadvantaged by it had not been yet on the agenda. However, the misery of the refugees and the violence of expulsion and deportation were well-known. By focusing on traveling of peoples, ideas, and things in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this course aims to provide a wide panorama of a moveable empire and a moveable globe.
