-CALL FOR PAPERS-

Well-Connected Domains*:
Intersections of Asia and Europe in the Ottoman Empire

Conference organized by the research project "Dynamic Asymmetries in
Transcultural Flows at the Intersection of Asia and Europe: The Case of the
Early Modern Ottoman Empire" (Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a
Global Context", Heidelberg University) at the Karl Jaspers Centre for
Advanced Transcultural Studies, Heidelberg, Germany, 10-12 November 2011.

Deadline: 20 May 2011.

Most scholars of Ottoman history would consider the domains of the Ottoman
sultan as a transcultural sphere par excellence. Indeed the very
deep-rootedness of this understanding often means that phenomena related to
transculturality are considered so ordinary that they tend to be
understudied as phenomena in their own right.

The proposed conference on 'Intersections of Asia and Europe in the Ottoman
Empire' seeks to link aspects of the interconnectedness of the Ottoman
Empire with 'the world around it' and questions of transcultural
entanglements within the Ottoman domains.

The organizers would therefore especially welcome contributions touching on
the following topics:

- multi-perspective approaches to 'transcultural' encounters in the Ottoman
Empire

- case studies exploring the nature of the linkages existing between the
Ottoman Empire and other regions in Europe and Asia

- presentations on research instruments, methods of analysis, and means of
conceptualization

The conference language will be English. We invite scholars to submit
200-word abstracts for 20-minute presentations. Please send any such
abstracts as Word or PDF documents to: firges at asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de

The organizers are planning to publish selected papers.

Conference organizing committee:
Pascal Firges, Tobias Graf, Christian Roth, Gülay Tulasoğlu

(* The title 'Well-Connected Domains' arose in the context of the
preparation of a joint workshop organized by members of Sabancı and
Heidelberg Universities. It was coined in a discussion between Aykut Mustak
and Tobias Graf as a play on words hinting at the Ottoman habit of referring
to their Empire as the 'Well-Protected Domains'.)
