[New York University’s Ottoman and Turkish Studies Initiative] Lecture with Elizabeth Frierson: “Great Lakes, Mighty Seas, and Uncharted Waters: Ottoman Studies, its Past, Present, and Future”
June 11, 2021 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Studies of the Ottoman Empire, a series of overlapping international enterprises, have mapped new understandings of human behavior onto intentionally forgotten and remembered landscapes since the opening of the Prime Ministry Archives in Turkey. This year’s sessions of the Mid-Atlantic Ottoman Studies Workshop have showcased many new modes of analysis, and this talk will attempt to synthesize some of those findings. This synthesis will be a launching point for considering how digitization and changing political situations, and now a pandemic, have been driving new approaches in fields known from the beginning for their innovation and adaptability. As well, scholars’, archivists’, and librarians’ increasing vulnerability and isolation during times of assault on academic freedom at many points of its construction are spurring changes. At the same time, COVID-19’s forcing us to expand webinars and online conferences for the last year has had a democratizing effect in terms of access to works in progress. How can we form a new sort of akhi discourse adapted to conditions of research and exchange of findings in the 21st century?
