The 3rd workshop of the Network for the Study of Environmental History of Turkey (NEHT), organized by the Chair of Turkish Studies at the University of Vienna, will take place at the University of Vienna on 8-10 September 2022.
The workshop will bring together scholars of Ottoman and post-Ottoman environmental history under the overarching theme of “The Anthropocene: From Empire to Nation-States”. The keynote speaker will be Prof. Dr. John R. McNeil (Georgetown University).
The 3rd NEHT workshop will discuss the possibilities of integrating the concept of the Anthropocene into the field of Ottoman/post-Ottoman environmental history. The main goal is to open new perspectives for the analysis of the role of human activities in the transformation of the Ottoman/post-Ottoman environments in the age of Anthropocene.
The workshop is a collaboration between the NEHT, the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Vienna, the Vienna Anthropocene Network, the Austrian Research Association (ÖFG), the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH), the Centre for Environmental History (ZUG), the Environmental History Cluster Austria (EHCA) and the University of Vienna.

Between the 1990s and early 2000s, there was an intense interest in Near Eastern Studies in questions related to the history of the press. The outcomes of this research were discussed at international conferences and resulted in a number of edited volumes. For other regions like Central Asia, however, the history of the press remained understudied in spite of its potential to reveal important insights into local discourses concerning modernisation, the colonial encounter or language policy, and their respective understandings. After a long pause, the press of various regions from Central Asia to Anatolia reemerges as an object of scholarly inquiry due to the ongoing efforts in digitizing archival holdings. This lecture series aims at presenting recent scholarship on the press in the Eurasian region, focusing on lesser-known newspapers and journals that were published in Central Asia, the Caucasus, Iran, and Anatolia during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Among the invited speakers are: Volker Adam (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle – Wittenberg), Ahmad Azizy (Humboldt University), Ingeborg Baldauf (Prof. em. Humboldt University), Bianca Devos (Marburg University), Michael Erdman, (British Library, London), Efthymia Kanner (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens), Thomas Loy (Oriental Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences), Şehnaz Şişmanoğlu Şimşek (Kadir Has University), Murat R. Şiviloğlu (Trinity College Dublin), and Arif Tapan (Andreas Tietze Memorial Fellow, Social Sciences University of Ankara).

On April 22, a small group of scholars discussed Armeno-Turkish texts and music. After a brief presentation of the holdings of the Mekhitarist Congregation in Vienna by Yavuz Köse, Benedetta Contin offered reflections on the transcultural phenomena in eastern medieval Anatolia. Hülya Çelik and Ani Sargsyan presented women in Armeno-Turkish literature of the 19th century and stressed the importance of treating these texts as part of Ottoman literary production. In her presentation, Kubra Uygur outlined the emergence of the Ottoman Armenian public sphere by examining the Armeno-Turkish press and the serial novels published in it. She argued that the hybridity of the Armeno-Turkish print media was not just limited to compound script with another language. The vocabulary and content of those newspapers also represented a hybrid cultural identity of the Ottoman Armenians. Jacob Olley presented Armeno-Turkish sources for 19th-century Ottoman music. He showed diverse notational systems of the period, while Yektan Türkyılmaz examined the various journeys of Armenians in the recording history from the Ottoman Empire to the diasporas, giving fascinating audio samples from Turkey, Egypt, and the United States among others. The workshop concluded with a visit to the Vienna Mekhitarist Congregation. We would like to thank Father Vahan Hovagimian for the guided tour.

On June 9, 2022, a group of scholars from various disciplines and backgrounds came together to discuss the process of patrimonialization in post-Ottoman societies. Presenting case studies of such discursive practices in Bosnia, Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, the papers sought to address issues of appropriation, identity, and nation-building. Relying on different types of sources and methodologies, the presenters had the opportunity to compare notes and discuss their work under one umbrella term, patrimonialization. The workshop was co-organized by Ayşe Dilsiz Hartmuth (Praedoc assistant, Turkish Studies).
