Vortrag


Between the fifteenth and the eighteenth centuries, Ottoman and Greek history merged into each other; yet, Ottomanist and Greek historiography have developed very much into separate fields, even when both Ottoman and Greek sources usually narrate the same events or describe the same cultural, social, and economic realities. In this lecture, I will discuss alternative ways of bridging the gap between the two historiographies across the Aegean Sea. I will focus especially into the following questions: who were the Ottomans, and who were the Greeks between the fifteenth and the eighteenth centuries? Where was Greece inside the Ottoman Well-Protected Domains and what did it stand for? And, finally, was there an Ottoman Greek identity before the advent of nationalism?
