Ordinary Ottomans: Post-WWI Settlements and Experiences of the End of Empire
The Workshop “Ordinary Ottomans: Post-WWI Settlements and Experiences of the End of Empire” will be held at the University of Neuchâtel November 10 to November 11. This workshop examines the lives and experiences of a generation of “ordinary” Ottomans, whose voices, paths, and personal trajectories are often left out in existing top-down historical narratives on political transition. Focusing on the realms of culture, religion, law, and economy, the workshop seeks to explore how these “ordinary” individuals and groups experienced the collapse of the empire in which they lived.
