The Conceptualization of Poverty in Ottoman Urban Centers in the Late =
19th and Early 20th Centuries

The series of monthly seminars, "Economy and Society on Both Shores of =
the Aegean ", organized by the Ottoman Bank Museum in collaboration with
Alpha Bank and the History Department of Bogazici University, continues =
this month on the topic of poverty in the Ottoman Empire. Prof. Haris

the University of the Aegean in Greece, will be joining us with a =
presentation delivered in English, entitled, "The Conceptualization of =
Poverty in Ottoman Urban Centers in the Late 19th and Early 20th =
Centuries", scheduled for Friday , February 18, at 3:00 p.m.

In his lecture, Haris Exertzoglou will discuss how the conceptualization =
of poverty within the rapidly changing early 19th century Ottoman social =
environment, shaped both the process of identity formation of the rising =
middle classes and the centralizing aspirations of the Ottoman =
bureaucracy. Addressing the topic from a comparative perspective, Prof. =
Exertzoglou will focus on the Christian Orthodox and Greek-speaking =
communities in Istanbul and Izmir.=20

After graduating from the Department of Economics at the University of =
Athens, Prof. Haris Exertzoglou earned his Ph.D. from King's College at =
the University of London. Since 1989, he has been teaching late Ottoman =
and modern Balkan history in the Department of History and Social =
Anthropology at the University of the Aegean . His current research =
examines national ceremonies in modern Greece and the reshaping of Greek =
national identity. He has written several books and articles on the =
social and economic life of the Christian Orthodox populations in the =
Ottoman Empire including, Osmanli'da cemiyetler ve Rum cemaati (The
Greek Community and Other Populations of the Ottoman Empire), published =
by the History Foundation, in 2004.=20

The series of monthly seminars, "Economy and Society on Both Shores of =
the Aegean", focuses on the Greek-Orthodox populations of the late =
Ottoman and early Republican periods. Seminar speakers provide =
comprehensive information on the subject and display special awareness =
of the delicate historical context.=20
