Tietze Fellows in 2024
Viennese Turkology will host four Tietze Fellows in 2024.
Enise Şeyda Kapusuz (European University Institute), in her project “A Long History of Migration: Ottoman Muslim Women’s Activities in Vienna during and after WWI (1914-1919),” pursues the history of the Ottoman Muslim women who moved to Vienna during and after the First World War.
Naira Poghosyan (Yerevan State University), in her project “Joking on Problems, Laughing at “Others”: A case study of Armeno-Turkish satirical magazine ‘Zvarcahos’,” aims to shed light on the ironical and satirical representation of both domestic and foreign political problems in the Ottoman Empire through the lens of the satirical magazine Zvarcahos.
Alika Zangieva (Princeton University) examines in her project “Circassians in the Habsburg–Ottoman Sphere” the transformation of Ottoman paramilitary structures through the lens of ethnicity. She traces the influx of Circassian migrants and other Muslim minority populations into the highest positions of newly emerging clandestine institutions of the Ottoman Empire, such as the Zaptiye Müşiriyeti, the Yıldız İstihbarat Teşkilatı, and the Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa.
Halit Serkan Simen (European University Institute), in his project “The Ruling Elite Divided: The Making of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha (d. 1596) in the Faction-Ridden Ottoman Court” aims to bring a reassessment of the Ottoman political configuration in the late sixteenth century by focusing on the career trajectory and ruling elite features of five-times grand vizier Koca Sinan Pasha.
