Ottoman Influences in the Maghreb
 
Centre d'études maghrébines en Algérie (CEMA)
May 31-June 3, 2007
 
As early as the mid-sixteenth century the Turks established the wilaya-s
of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. Through subsequent centuries, what became
known as the Ottoman Empire expanded its political, cultural and
religious influence westward through the Mediterranean. This conference
will investigate the nature of the Ottoman centuries in the Maghreb. The
conference will be an encounter between and across disciplines exploring
the relationship between the Ottomans and the Maghreb from its
beginnings to its demise. The conference will investigate Ottoman
influences over the Maghreb both from inside the imperial wilaya-s and
outside them, in the broader geographies to which Ottoman influences
spread. The complexity of the Ottoman West and its connectivity to the
Porte continue to challenge scholars today. Multidisciplinary
reflections on the relevance of contemporary notions such as empire,
imperial power, metropole, province and borderlands, to the Maghreb are
central to the conference's focus. How do the nation-states of today's
Maghreb view their Ottoman heritage? Proposals are invited from scholars
working in history, literary and cultural studies, linguistics,
sociology, anthropology, art history, architecture, geography,
cartography, international relations, and religious studies. Possible
topics for papers include: 
 
Architectural influences and models 
Monumentalism and urbanism 
Circulation/consumption of goods between "metropole" and "provinces" 
Representations of the Ottoman Maghreb (artistic, literary,
cartographic) 
Ottoman attempts at expansion 
Resistances to Ottoman presence 
Limits of Ottoman influence 
Borders in the Ottoman Maghreb 
Immigrations to and expulsions from the Maghreb 
Autonomy and independence in the Maghreb 
Ottoman influences on the languages of the Maghreb 
Migrations between the Maghreb wilaya-s 
Centers of religious practice and learning 
Influences on clothing, food and/or other customs 
Ottoman and Spanish conflicts 
Literary influences (court or folk) 
Reconsideration of the sources for the Ottoman Maghreb 
Modern historiography of the Ottoman presence 
Reworking of memory of an Ottoman past under French colonialism 
Military organization and technology

The languages of the conference will be English, French, and Arabic. Dr.
