‘Inheriting Empire? Transformations and Contestations of “Ottoman” Heritage’, Workshop and Keynotes organized by Roxana Coman, Gizem Zencirci, Habiba Insaf, Emma Jelinski and keynote lectures by Dr. Belgin Turan-Ozkaya and Dr Malte Fuhrmann.
Since heritage has a complex relationship with the concept of inheritance, and hence it presumes the notion of ownership, it has been at the center of various political projects; imperial, local, national and civilizational. Through a focus on (post)-Ottoman lands and imaginaries, this workshop aims to engage with civilization, empire, nation, and heritage as constructs in flux, forever dependent on individuals, objects, ideas, and places that carry inherited meanings and become catalysts for new kinds of meaning making, as well. By studying the reimagination and reproduction of the Ottoman empire across time and place, we examine how multiple political projects have engaged in memory-making and heritage-making practices.
During the keynotes, Dr. Belgin Turan-Ozkaya and Dr. Malte Fuhrmann will approach the multiplicity of heritage(s) in the Ottoman Empire and its former imperial center, Istanbul. Dr. Turan-Ozkaya will engage with the ethnic, cultural, religious plurality, and how its post-imperial framework had shifted the conversation to one increasingly Turkified. Dr. Fuhrmann will breach the commodification of heritage in Istanbul via the current audio-visual digital trends, and how this complicates further the discussion on and around the archaeological and historical legacies.
Workshop: 13 March (13.30- 17.00) / 14 March (9.00-18.00) at inherit.heritage in transformation (registration closed).
