| HIST 501 Explorations in World History I |
3 Credits |
|
This is the first of a sequence of two term-courses that
are required of all MA students in History. It is a general
survey course that explores specific themes and periods
from the first human communities to c. 1500, and
problematizes them in comparative, theory-intensive
ways. It runs parallel to the SPS 101 (Humanity and
Society I) freshman course, which serves as the teaching
practicum of HIST 501 for SU graduate students in
History who also serve as SPS 101 section instructors. Both
SPS 101 and HIST 501 embody a discrete, step-function
view of historical development, examining sets of
institutional-cultural "solutions" situated along each
major material-technical threshold, without
however proceeding in a continuous narrative from one such
locus to another. Topics dealt with in the first semester
include : Modernity's subsumptions and transformations
of pre-modernities; comparing contemporary
with prehistoric hunters and gatherers; nomadic
pastoralism, mounted archers, steppe empires; the
economics of peasant production; the role of
movement and conquest in history; "dark ages" and state
formation; precocious maritime civilizations
in Antiquity; tributary states and societies; the function
and varieties of fief distribution; types of urban
space and culture; the world on the eve of the
"European miracle"; the Italian Renaissance
as the dawn of early modernity.

| HIST 503 The Formations and Constructions of Europe |
3 Credits |
|
A double exploration of Europe's both "real" and "ideal"
emergence. An introductory section to be devoted to
(a) the physical shaping of a continent, (b) its stages of
human settlement, from prehistoric times through the
Germanic and Slavic migrations down to modern and recent
patterns of movement, (c) the basic language groups
created on this basis, and (d) Europe's religions in flux
across space and time. Through these and related
dimensions, simultaneously, the three main thresholds of
"European history" as such : the Dark Ages, the birth
of Early Modernity, and the Age of Revolution. The parallel
development of the notion of Europe in political and social
thought, together with its various theoretical ramifications
or extensions (such as "the West", "the historical
nations", "bourgeois civil society", "civilisation" or
"capitalism"), juxtaposed to its non-European
others or counterparts, in the course of the creation of a
Eurocentric symbolic geography by the 19th
and 20th century social sciences. Selective studies of
specific aspects of European history (such as cities,
wars, or revolutions), as well as of how all this has
impacted on modern European politics and culture.

This course seeks not to familiarize students
with a basic factography of the 20th century,
but to guide them into explorations of the infinite
variety of its human conditions -- perceived
through great art, literature and films pertaining
to its great tragedies, bunched for example
around the horror of trench warfare; the
promise and failure of revolutions; Fascism,
Nazism and Stalinism; totalitarianisms
and their camp systems; occupations and resistance
movements; atrocities and genocides; life in the shadow
of nuclear weapons; readings and meanings
of the collapse of Communism; the rise, degeneration
and fall of the Third World.

| HIST 511 Trends, Debates, Historians I |
3 Credits |
|
The Historiography sequence of HIST 511-512 is required
of all PhD students in History, and while it may also be
taken by MA students, in all cases it should be taken
after HIST 501-502 or some other, comparable survey of
world or at least European history. This is necessary
because ''Trends, Debates, Historians'' adopts an
approach to the study of Historiography that is historical
in more than one sense. It proposes to study
methodology not in the abstract but in the concrete, as
embodied in the output of a number of great
historians living and working in the 20th century;
naturally it strives to relate each such historian
to his/her context and preferred paradigm; but it also
situates each such contribution within the framework
of the period problematic and literature to which it
pertains. This means that works studied are taken up in the
chronological order of their subject matter, i.e. of the
historical period to which they refer (rather than
by reference to their authors in chronological
sequence). Furthermore, as a side objective of the course
is to study problems of overall organization
and sustained consistency in writing synthetic books (as
opposed to research articles), in both semesters the
emphasis is on reading complete books by leading-
edge historians. Thus after opening with a few introductory
texts of a general nature plus an initial set of readings
on historians' own views of their profession, HIST 511
quickly moves into sampling works by historians
of Antiquity, followed by close readings of some
leading Medievalists. These and others are also scrutinized
for the methodological insights they might shed into
Ottoman historical studies. Controversies among Turkish
as well as European scholars on the nature of
serfdom, feudalism, or the feudal mode of production, as
well as the more recent ''feudal revolution'' debate,
are treated through special files interpolated
where necessary. Throughout, two basic questions are
repeatedly posed : From Herodotos and Thucydides,
through the 19th century, down to the present, what has
changed and what has not changed
in the practice of historians ?

| HIST 512 Trends, Debates, Historians II |
3 Credits |
|
The second semester of the required HIST 511-512
sequence in Historiography pursues the same
"complete readings" approach into major works
concentrating on first the Early Modern and then the
Modern era. Once more, historians are studied
individually, and trends or schools are for the most part
introduced through the historians that embody
their distinctive approaches. Authors dealt with over the
second semester may be as diverse as Febvre,
Braudel, Le Roy Ladurie, Christopher Hill, Keith
Thomas, E. P. Thompson, Charles Tilly, Simon Schama
and Carlo Ginzburg, as well as Hobsbawm,
Blackbourn, Landes, Eugen Weber, Peter Gay or François
Furet. Crucial debates, for example on "the transition
from feudalism to capitalism" and its Brenner
follow-up, or on "the military revolution and
the genesis of the modern state", are introduced as separate
files or appendices. The last quarter of the course is
devoted to a closing survey of the current proliferation
of outlooks and approaches, including discussions of
microhistory, cultural history, history of mentalities,
the return of the narrative, the return of the state, as
well as modernist vs post-modernist positions on the
question of "historical truth", "myth-making", or
the relationship between literature and history.

| HIST 516 Historical Marxism II : Communism and Post-Communism |
3 Credits |
|
Coming out of the Bolshevik Revolutionin Russia, and
then expanding to both Eastern Europe and China after
World War II, Communism came to exert such a pervasive
influence on the 20th century that up to the early 1980s,
there was no aspect of politics, international relations,
social life, art or culture that was not permeated by it.
And yet, barely two decades after its fall, the set of
theories and practices that was once regarded as
" the future of humanity" lies almost forgotten.
HIST 516 is an attempt to think back from the early
21st century to the concrete visage and
historical legacy of Marxism in power, exploring especially
the party that was its chief instrument, the theories
through which it eternalized its dictatorship, fostered
a permanent culture of "the enemy" and legitimized
its purges, as well as the daily structures of living
perpetually in an atmosphere of abnormal politics, with
a new social contract of basic services but without
any fundamental, constitutionally guaranteed rights
and political empowerment.

| HIST 517 Introduction to Orientalism and Oriental Studies |
3 Credits |
|
The ascendancy and self-globalization of the West
went hand in hand with its exploration of ?the Rest?
not only in geographical, political and military terms but
also in the form of opening up a new Oriental Studies
world of knowledge. Over centuries, European scholars
proceeded to penetrate non-European societies and
cultures from languages, literature and belief systems to
history proper. They produced a wealth of publications,
including major dictionaries, encyclopedias, translations,
anthologies and commentaries, that are to this day the
indispensable reference materials and tools of trade of all
scholars of the Middle East, of Islam, or of the
Ottoman Empire. At the same time they constructed a
vision, a gaze, an ideology of Eurocentrism
and Orientalism. The object of this course is to introduce
historians in the making to both aspects in their
interconnected development, and especially to familiarize
them with an immensely rich background of learning that
will stay with them through their entire careers.

The aim of this course is to introduce students to
the political and social movements originating in France in
the 19th and 20th centuries about which they should become
knowledgeable in order to understand why Turkish
modernization, whether in the 19th or the 20th century,
has been primarily affected by currents
of thought originating in France.

3 Credits |
|
This course will examine the relations between
a ruler and his/her subjects as expressions
of what we broadly term "culture". Through ceremonies,
rituals and festivities, a leitmotif of political power
relations is investigated. Moving from the Middle Ages
through the Early Modern Era to Modern Times, discussion
focuses on (1) courtly ceremonies such as coronations,
royal marriages and births, each accompanied by stately
banquets; (2) the pageantry of politics and the politics of
pageantry in the making of the architecture of cities
such as London, Paris, Venice, Prague or Moscow; (3)
the rites of rulership and personality cults in the
Hannoverian monarchy, the French revolution, British India
from the time of the Great Mutiny onward, Fascist Italy,
Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union; and lastly
(4) civic spectacles and popular culture. In
each section a special effort will be made to bring
in comparative examples from the realm of Ottoman studies.

| HIST 525 Law, State and Property in the 19th Century |
3 Credits |
|
This course studies the transformation in the understandings
of state power, of property and of law, and the historical
background to these changes that can be traced back to the
formation of centralized monarchies and the commercial
expansion of the 16th century. While this early history
formed the background of the histories of modernity, the
rupture in terms of the ways individual societies were
governed, economic activity was organised, and property
rights or resource allocation was affected, actually
took place only in the 18th and the 19th centuries. These
forms have subsequently been associated with the process of
modernity, and were universalized given thecontext of
competition, imperial penetration, and international
economic expansion. The course will focus on the debates
of 18th and 19th century political economists
and political theorists including the Physiocrats,
Montesqieu, Adam Smith, David Ricardo,
Jeremy Bentham and Alexis de Tocquevılle. It will then
address the historical context these conceptualizations
grew out of and responded to.

| HIST 527 History of Citizenship in Europe |
3 Credits |
|
Citizenship is a powerful technology of inclusion
and exclusion and of identity-building in modernity.
History is one important perspective from which
to understandind its functioning. The purpose of this
course is to provide resources for a critical analysis
of the philosophical, institutional and sociological
foundations of citizenship and its changes over time,
from their intellectual reformulation in the Italian
Early Renaissance onwards. Another aim of the course
is to provide a perspective on European history through
the subject matter of citizenship building. Choosing
citizenship as a vantage point challenges conventional
interpretations, particularly of social movements from
liberalism to the rise and transformation of the welfare
state. The course combines readings from relevant
figures of the so-called Republican tradition, as well as
analyses of processes of citizen incorporation and
definition of rights in different European countries from
the 19th century to the present.

| HIST 532 Islamic History: the Middle Period (c.945 - 1500) |
3 Credits |

A continuing survey of Islamic history from around
the middle of the 10th century, comprising:
the deepening crisis of the Abbasid caliphate; mass
conversions to Islam among non-Arab peoples
(including the Karakhanids as well as the Volga Bulgars);
the triumph of the Seljukid war-leadership over the
Ghaznavids, and from 980 the overrunning of East Iran,
then Mesopotamia, and eventually Asia
Minor by this new Turkish warrior nobility. A first
external shock in the form of the Crusades. With
the breakup of the Greater Seljukids, the emergence of
a series of independent Seljukid successor sultanates in
Anatolia, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Kirman
and Iran; the triple division of the caliphate itself
(between the Abbasids in Baghdad, the Fatimids
in Egypt, and the Umayyads in Spain). A second external
shock of the Mongol conquest. Finally, the rise of the
Mamluks in Egypt, the Ottomans in northwest Anatolia and
Rumelia, and the Safavids in Iranian space.

| HIST 534 Russian History I : Tsarist Russia (from the 17th Century to 1917) |
3 Credits |
|
This is a survey course on the general history of
Russia from its early beginnings with the Muscovite
state until World War I. It will begin with a general
discussion on the geographical characteristics of
Russia and the cultural peculiarities of the Russian
population. Here the emphasis will be on the
Eurasian dimension or character of the Russian lands.
Strictly historical lectures will begin with Muscovy over
1450-1598, and will continue into the ''Time of
Troubles,'' leading to the rise of the Romanov dynasty.The
next issue will be the modernizing efforts of Peter the
Great, and the political and social effects of these
Petrine reforms (1682-1740). In the course of
reviewing the policies of ''enlightened reform'' pursued by
Catherine the Great (1762-1796), Russian expansionism
against Poland and the Ottoman empire, as well as
popular reactions such as the Pugachev Rebellion
(1773-1775) will also be taken into account. Over
the period between 1801-1855, the Napoleonic wars
(1805-1815) and their impact, autocratic conservatism, and
the Crimean War (1853-1856) will be highlighted. For
the second half of the 19th century, attention fill
focus on the emancipation of the serfs (1860), other
administrative reforms and economic development
accompanying expansion in Central Asia and Far East,
and the emergence of a revolutionary opposition. The
turbulent period of 1890-1914 will be discussed in terms of
rapid industrialization, general poverty and popular
unrest, defeat in the Russo-Japanese war and
the subsequent 1905 revolution. The last weeks
of the course will be devoted to World
War I and the coming of the 1917 February and October
revolutions.

| HIST 535 The Gunpowder Empires of the Islamic World, ca. 1450-1800 |
3 Credits |

The course focuses on the so-called gunpowder
empires of the Islamic world of the early
modern era, i.e. the Ottoman Empire, Mughal
India and Safavid Iran. As part of a universal
trend, it was this age when much of the
current territorial, confessional, political, social and
cultural boundaries dividing the Islamic world were
set up. The course consists of three units.
After an introduction, first it focuses on the political
history of these polities, compares them with
each other from various aspects, including religion,
administration, the military, economy, trade,
the role of and attitude to minorities, as well as
various facets of culture. Lastly it revisits
these issues by way of a critique of decline narratives
related to the Islamic World. It discusses Ottoman,
Safavid and Mughal history not only as comparative
but also as connected phenomena.

Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as Mongolia
and Northwest China) from the beginnings to the
present, also including in the discussion the East
European steppe region when appropriate. While
it looks at at this vast geographical space as part
of various imperial configurations (the Hun, Türk,
Kazar, Mongol, Timurid, and Russian Empires,
as well as the Muslim Caliphate and the Soviet
Union), it discusses local historical processes and
dynamics, addressing the question of in what
sense the region can be considered a separate

| HIST 539 Christians In The Ottoman Empire |
3 Credits |
|
This course offers to examine the history and condition
of Christians -- a majority of whom were the Greek
Orthodox people (Rum) -- in Anatolia and the Balkans under
the Ottoman Empire. From some basic
concepts of non-Muslim historiography (such as zımmi
or millet), the course will move to the various
ways in which historians have interpreted the Christian
presence under Ottoman rule. Byzantium as a state was
very closely associated with Orthodox
Christianity and the Greek language. What did its
demise mean for Orthodox Christians and
their institutions ? How did Ottoman social, economic
and administrative structures absorb and influence
Christians; in turn, how did they participate in producing
and re-producing the imperial framework ?
Special attention will be paid to : communal life and
institutions, the place of Christians in
Ottoman administration and imperial networks, the
Phanariots, the rise of the Greek bourgeoisie,
the emergence of the Greek nation-state,
Greek education, and the contribution
of Christians to Ottoman urban space
and architecture.

3 Credits |

This is an upper-level seminar course dealing
with the intellectual history of the 18th
century, covering aspects of the Enlightenment,
as well as its wider reception, in France,
Germany, Italy, and the British Isles.
It examines the development of ideas on philosophy,
religion, ethics, law, the economy, politics, and
society, which had an impact on the
historical arena at this time. It is
intended to enable students to acquire a sound
knowledge of the key figures of the European
Enlightenment movement; to develop an overall grasp of
the contribution of the European Enlightenment to
the fields of literature, science,
philosophy, and political and ethical theory;
and to acquire an up-to-date understanding of
modern critical historiography on the Enlightenment.

| HIST 547 History of Political Ideas in the Balkans in the Modern Era (19th and 20th Centuries) |
3 Credits |
|
Capable of being taken both as a companion to HIST 549
and also on its own, HIST 547 represents a departure
in some measure from that of a classical ''history
of ideas'' course. It is concentrated less on the study of
political ideas as theoretical/intellectual constructions
per se, than on their contextualization, therefore on the
explanation of their specific local articulations
and varying social weight. This shift in focus follows from
two general contextual premises : (a) The disproportionate
significance of the political in the changing Balkan
societies in the modern era; and (b) the ideological systems
within and by way of which local national elites have
pursued their developmental policies. Hence a primary
concern will be not to gauge how faithfully a certain
''Balkan'' political development has corresponded
to its ''European'' prototype, but rather to see what
functions and hopes were pinned on it; how
efficient it was in terms of imposing (new) norms of
political action and of social and economic relations;
and finally, what the sources of intra-Balkan diversity have
been in all these regards. All major politico-ideological
(self-) definitions of the 19th and 20th centuries,
as well as their mutual relations/influences, will be
considered. The implicit objective will be to shed
light on the historically crystallized semantics of the
modern political vocabulary in the Balkans --
of terms like ''tradition'', ''modernity'', ''freedom'',
''the people'', ''democracy'', ''nation'',
''parliamentarianism'', and ''political participation''.
Requirements : short presentations and papers,
plus one or two written exams. For the possibility
of being taken not as a taught course but
as a seminar, subject to the approval of the instructor and
the fulfillment of the research paper requirements
for a seminar in History, see under HIST 647.

| HIST 553 Aspects of Ottoman Rule in the Bulgarian Lands in the Pre-Tanzimat Period |
3 Credits |
|
Focuses on selected issues and specific features
of Ottoman rule in the Bulgarian lands, and
therefore requires some previous, preliminary knowledge of
Ottoman history and documentation.
The main themes addressed will include : early Ottoman
administration (from the 15th to the early
16th centuries); the Ottoman judicial system and the
functioning of the kadı court; agrarian relations :
timars, vakıfs, çiftliks; monuments of Ottoman culture;
towns and urban society; Osman Pazvandoğlu of Vidin
against the backdrop of Kırcalı/dağlı unrest; the
National Awakenings of the Balkan peoples; the international
situation at the end of the 18th and the
beginning of the 19th centuries. At the same time, the core
of the course will revolve around the official
status and the real situation of various ethno-religious
groups (such as the Orthodox Christians and
the Jews) : their institutions; their attitudes vis-à-vis
the Ottoman authorities; questions of Islamisation,
and of neo-martyrs; church building and restoration;
other and related problems. Assessment will be based on
participation throughout the course, including
short presentations, as well as a final paper based on
either the relevant secondary literature, or
an appropriate amount of work on the primary sources over
and above the secondary literature, in which case it
may count as a research seminar (also see HIST 653).

The principal aim of the course is to study the emergence

frontiers as a universal phenomenon. After examining
the frontier as an historical concept, the course considers
specific frontier situations of particular relevance to
Turkish and Islamic history, such as Inner Asia and
China, Eurasia and Byzantium, Iran and Turan, the Arab lands
and Byzantium, Andalusia and Christian Spain.
The specific context of West Anatolia and the Balkans
in the 14th century is then studied in terms of topics
inherent in the study of frontiers, such as trade
and warfare across the frontier, relations between central
political authority and frontier lords, and cross-frontier
political accomodation.

3 Credits |

This is one of a series of term-courses reviewing
sources relevant for the study of Ottoman and Turkish
history in different periods, as well as methods
that have been developed and employed by historians on
the basis of different types of sources. Specifically for
the 15th and 16th centuries, HIST 561 is arranged
topically to review the political organization of a dynastic
state, the social structures of townsmen, peasants
and nomads, as well as the relationships between political
authority and various social groups. The wider context of
Ottoman lands in Europe and in West Asia is then
considered in relation to ideology and political thought.
Each topic is studied in terms of how it is
being treated in current historical scholarship,
emphasizing the interplay between sources and methods
appropriate for analytical or narrative history.

| HIST 562 Ottoman Reform Movements II: Political and Social (1839-1918) |
3 Credits |
|
Intellectual and social issues prevalent in present- day
Turkey have their antecedents in 19th century
Ottoman Empire. Ottoman 19th century was a period
where old and new, reform and reaction
met each other. In fact, this was an era where the empire
was shaken by series of wars and crisis of
disintegration. Reformist bureaucrats applied policies to
forestall this process, while the intelligentsia vehemently
opposed authoritarian reforms. Discussions
on the future of the empire became most fruitful during
the first four years of the Second
Constitutional Period (1908-1912) when people enjoyed
some degree of liberal freedom. Public
discussions came to an abrupt end when the Committee
of Union and Progress established military
dictatorship (1913-1918). As a whole, this "long nineteenth
century" was an era where institutional foundations
of Turkish modernization were laid down.
This course aims to introduce, discuss, and understand
Ottoman reform movements and thoughts
of the last hundred year of Ottoman existence, based
on the evaluation of reformist statesmen
of the Tanzimat-period, oppositional intellectuals of the
1860s and 1870s, conservative attitude
of Hamidian absolutism (1878-1908), and Young Turk
reformist ideas of the last decades
of Ottoman existence (1889-1918)

| HIST 563 Social and Economic History of the Ottoman Empire |

Over the last few decades, methodological insightsof of
a comparative and inter-disciplinary nature have triggered
major challenges to the textbook notion of a
glorious Ottoman ''classical age'' followed
by perpetual ''decline'' until the onset of Westernizing
reforms in the 19th century. To be counterposed to
the static nature of this traditional paradigm is a dynamic,
historical treatment of socio-economic transformations and
continuities over 1300-1800. Issues to be covered
include : land tenure; the organization of urban production,
trade, and credit relations; the challenge posed by the rise
of the modern world system; family and gender relations;
ethnic and religious diversity; intellectual life; popular
culture and forms of plebeian protest; the mechanisms
of social and political control; and relations
between state and society.

| HIST 570 History of a City I : From Byzantion to Constantinople |
3 Credits |
|
''A city capable of absorbing everything,'' is
how the famous French historian Maurice Aymard
described Constantinople / Istanbul in the 1970s.
HIST 570 is designed to take students through the first
two thousand years of this many-layered history, starting
with a modest colony established by the Greek
polis of Megara, growing through a crucial choice made by
Constantine early in the AD 4th century into
''New Rome'', then rising and ultimately falling, in 1453,
with the fortunes of the Byzantine empire.
A historical introduction on these and other key phases will
be followed by in-depth lectures many of which will be
delivered on site in the course of study trips
to leading Byzantine locations and monuments. A minimum
of two lecture hours per week will be complemented
by additional seminar hours focusing on the primary
sources available in translation, as well as
comprehensive readings in the available secondary
literature. For the possibility of taking ''History of
a City I'' as an undergraduate course, subject
to appropriately adjusted requirements, see HIST 370.

as well as through the manifold transformations of
the 17th and 18th centuries, into the Tanzimat
onset of modernity. Historical backgrounding

| HIST 572 Sources and Methods for 17th and 18th century Ottoman History |
3 Credits |
|
This is one of a series of term-courses reviewing
sources relevant for the study of Ottoman and Turkish
history in different periods, as well as methods that have
been developed and employed by historians
on the basis of different types of sources. Specifically for
the 17th and 18th centuries, HIST 572 starts out
with a review of the decline paradigm, which among
other things portrays the Ottoman Empire as a
stagnant, peripheral and passive spectator in Early
Modernity, and which has been persuasively challenged since
the 1970s. Building upon research based on the
central Ottoman archives over the last three decades, and
using the state as the key unit of analysis, the first
part of this course takes an in-depth look at people and
ideas in the Ottoman territories over 1600-1800, via (1) the
changing political economy, (2) the transformation
of agrarian relations, (3) the problems of provisioning
Istanbul, (4) struggles between the reforming
and conservative wings of the ruling elite, and (5) the
"women's sultanate", so-called, and the changing
legitimation patterns of the House of Osman.
A second part deals with (6) economic, social and cultural
life in the provinces, and (7) the growth of
international trading cities such as Thessaloniki, Izmir
or Aleppo. In concluding, historiographical attention
is devoted to the clichés or tropes of (8) the "Tulip
Age", (9) "Oriental despotism", and (10) "incorporation
into the world- system".

| HIST 575 Postorientalism and Postcolonialism |
3 Credits |
|
The term ?Postcolonialism? characterizes a loosely
defined field of interdisciplinary perspectives, theories
and methods that deal with dimensions of colonial rule
in the past and its effects into the immediate present.
Venturing to deconstruct colonial discourses and
representations, Postcolonial Studies has had
a deep imprint on humanities and social
sciences in the last decades, and familiarity with it
has become crucial to handling research literature on the
Middle East. Given academic developments over
the last forty years, of equal importance to scholars
in this field is a viable Postorientalist approach. Along
with Edward Said?s path-breaking work, students
will also gain insight into other dimensions of
postcolonial literature, such as Subaltern Studies
originating in the attempt of South Asian scholars to
come to terms with the legacy of British rule. The last
third of the term will focus on applying all such
theoretical insights to Middle Eastern, Ottoman
and Turkey studies.

This is one of a series of term-courses reviewing
sources relevant for the study of Ottoman and Turkish
history in different periods, as well as methods
that have been developed and employed by historians on
the basis of different types of sources. Specifically for
the ''long'' 19th century, HIST 581 is designed
to familiarize the student with the basic chronology,
themes, problematics and source materials
of Late Ottoman history; namely the period starting
from the reforms of Selim III and the Napoleonic
invasion of Egypt to the beginning of the Second
Constitutional Period and the establishment of the
Young Turk regime. The course aims to situate the myriad
transformations in Late Ottoman social, political and
cultural life not only within their European
and Balkan context, but also in relation to the modernizing
agendas of the non-western/colonial world.
Thus, the Ottoman efforts to salvage the state and to
redefine an exclusive imperial identity will be
discussed through comparative perspectives and
methodological insights provided by current studies on 19th
century Austria-Hungary, Russia and Iran,
as well as colonial North Africa and India.

| HIST 585 Minority Questions in Contemporary Turkey |
3 Credits |
|
First decolonization and then the end of the Cold
War have led to new waves of transnational movement.
Mass immigration and floods of refugees have
given rise to economic, social and cultural clashes, feeding
into fresh problems of ethno-religious otherization that
have come to haunt even the normally most
stable and tolerant democracies of Europe. Simultaneously,
Turkey's EU process is bringing into question a
number of minority issues that are the legacy of the
transition from the multi-ethnic Ottoman empire into
Balkan, Caucasian and Middle Eastern nation-states.
What are these questions ? Which groups are
involved ? How can cultural, linguistic and religious
rights be applied to the relationship between majority and
minority groups at the national and international levels ?
How can consciousness of ethnic, religious or cultural
diversity be fostered and promoted as a common value ?
It is to such historical and contemporary problems
that HIST 585 is addressed. For the possibility of taking
this course at an undergraduate level, subject
to appropriate adjustments, see SPS 485.

Social Darwinism, radical modernism, authoritarian
state-fetishism, nihilism, mysticism, the death
urge and the Führer principle) in the late 19th
and early 20th century -- first in its original
European and then its Late Ottoman context,
where it acquired its Turkist and Unionist extensions.

secondary literature but also a number of primary sources
(such as the key periodicals of
the Second Constitutional period).

| HIST 588 Nationalist Projects in Southeast European History |
3 Credits |
|
The protracted decline and breakup of the
Ottoman empire went hand in hand with the rise of a
number of mutually antagonistic nationalisms which
kept competing not only against the Porte but also against
one another for political, ideological, and economic space.
After initial, embryonic nation-statehood,
such competition acquired irredentistic extensions. HIST 588
proposes to look at various such projects
that culminated in great human tragedies in the early 20th
century, the legacy of which endures to this day.
Thus a brief introduction on theories of nation and
nationalism will be followed by close examinations of :
(1) the idea of a ''Greater Serbia''; (2) the
''Illyrianism'' (or Illyrismus) concept and the related
notion of ''Yugoslavia'' in Croatia; (3) the role
of state policy in the Greek megali idea; (4) Ottomanism
(Osmanlılık) : an initial reaction against
other nationalist movements; (5) religion, ethnos,
and nation in Bulgaria; (6) how ''constructed''
was the Macedonian nation; (7) the development of
Albanian ''nationhood'' and the idea of a
''greater Albania''; (8) the rise and outlines of Turkish
nationalism. The course will conclude with a review
of nationalism and ''minorities'' questions
today. For the possibility of taking this course at an
undergraduate level, subject to appropriate
adjustments, see HIST 488.

3 Credits |

A dense survey course on the making of Modern Turkey with a
special focus on the ideological dimension
of nation-building. Moves from multiple backgrounds
(in : the broad outlines of Ottoman history;
the ?long? 19th century; the New Imperialism;
Eurocentrism and Orientalism; racism and
Social Darwinism), through Ottoman-Turkish elites? evolving
love-and-hate relationship with the West,
to the fashioning and grounding of a specifically
Turkish (as against an Ottoman or a Muslim) identity
in the throes of the protracted crisis of 1908-22.
Makes considerable use of literature, too, to explore
the myths of originism and authocthonism, as well
as the ''golden age'' narratives, connected with
both early and Kemalist varieties of
Turkish nationalism. Also see HIST 489 for the
possibility of being taken at the undergraduate level.

3 Credits |

This is one of a series of term-courses
reviewing sources relevant for the study of Ottoman
and Turkish history in different periods, as
well as methods that have been developed and employed by
historians on the basis of different types of sources.
Specifically for the first two or three decades
of the Turkish Republic, HIST 591 comprises a comparative
study of the ''one party'' period and political system
using primary sources and relating them to their specific
historical and political contexts. Starting with the
political situation emerging out of World War I, as
well as the various alignments and polarizations evolving
during the years of the War of Independence,
the impact of this crucial, traumatic, formative ''moment''
will be pursued from the founding of the
Republic to the end of the early Republican era. Included
will be a comprehensive review of all political, cultural,
economic and foreign policy developments and
orientations, with specific focus on the political
organizations of the period.

| HIST 592 Sources and Methods for Late Republican History, 1938-1950 |
3 Credits |
|
This is one of a series of term-courses reviewing
sources relevant for the study of Ottoman and Turkish
history in different periods, as well as methods that have
been developed and employed by historians on the basis
of different types of sources. Specifically for the mid-20th
century, HIST 592 offers a close scrutiny of the İnönü
years -- comprising the tail end of the one-party period,
and opening up to the transformation of the political régime
in the post-war era -- that simultaneously introduces
the student to the ample primary sources of this crucial
but often neglected era. Themes to be covered
include : special focus on the Republican People's Party
as a political organisation, and on the changing features
of the one-party system, together with explorations
of political, economic and cultural life. Aspects of Turkish
foreign policy under İnönü. Frameworks
of synchronic comparison with other one-party régimes,
as well as of diachronic comparisons between
the early and late phases of one-party rule in Turkey.

| HIST 593 Caucasus and its Hinterland: Clans, Ethnicities and Nations in Imperial Borderlands |
3 Credits |
|
The Caucasus and its hinterland, which separate as well as
connect the Pontic, the Caspian, and the Persian
Gulf basins, have been a strategically important and
therefore contested space since antiquity.
In modern times, the region was at first fought over by the
rival Muslim empires of the Ottomans and the Safavids.
The entry of imperial Russia into the arena in
the last decades of the eighteenth century ushered in
the era of Christian predominance. The
next century saw the penetration of the whole Muslim
Middle East by western economic interests,
accompanied by new conflicts and alignments both on
intraregional and international levels. Whereas the
evolution of the so-called Eastern Question
that implied the settlement of the Ottoman succession
parallel to Russian expansion into Transcaucasia
encouraged the Christian populations of the region (the
Georgians, the Armenians) to aspire to self-rule
and even independence, the Muslims felt
humiliated and feared a degradation of their traditional
ways of life. Their reaction, beginning with the
mountaineers' resistance to Russian colonization of the
north Caucasus in the last decades of the
eighteenth century and reaching its apex under the
leadership of Imam Shamil (1834-1859),
exacerbated by forced migrations of the Circassians
and other Caucasian groups into
Anatolia, entailed in the long run ethnic and religious
violence in various forms, directed
against both the neighbouring groups and the
imperial centres. This development culminated in
mass deportations and genocidal events during the two
world wars of the twentieth century, ethnic conflict,
nationalist secessionism and imperialist
rivalries breaking out with new vigour in the post-Soviet
era. The course will approach this complex history from
the vantage point of the concept of "zones of violence",
studying and discussing thereby the catastrophic
experiences of the period within a multicausal
framework

training. Different aspects of law, such
as court practice, legal interpretation, and royal
legislation, are examined, and the relevant
primary sources introduced, in alternating years. (Thus
if the theme for a particular semester
has been the practice of ifta, after an introduction to
relevant debates in the field of Islamic
and Ottoman law, the class embarks on a collective
historical survey of selected themes
as they appear in fetva collections of the 16th to the 18th
centuries. A comparable approach will
be adopted for other themes to be offered in rotation over
the years.) Requirements : a major research paper

| HIST 623 Revolutions in History |
3 Credits |
|
What is a revolution ? Are revolutions necessary and
inevitable, hence universal ? Is their balance sheet
all positive or negative ? Why, after an
enduring revolutionist legacy, are revolutions being
so strictly questioned today ? Does "the
end of history" mean "the end of revolutions" ?
HIST 623 proposes to tackle these and other
questions from a standpoint situated outside both the
revolutionary and the anti-revolutionary
discourses that have long dominated the intellectual
scene. Attempting to construct a new,
critical historiography of the subject, it draws on
the evidence provided by a number of case
studies on the English, the French, the Russian, the
Kemalist and the Chinese revolutions, and works
its way through a number of thinkers ranging from Burke
and Tocqueville through Marx to Brinton, Skocpol,
Furet or Hobsbawm, in order to problematize themes like
the link between revolutions and modernity,
the time-space distribution of revolutions, "normal" and
"abnormal" politics, crises of legitimacy, the dialectics
of leadership and mass support, stages of
revolutionary action, violence and demonstrations of
punishment, the radicalization and
militarization of revolutions, European and non-
European revolutions, and the alignments and
legacies of revolutions. May be taken by undergraduates as
a taught course (= HIST 323), and simultaneously
by graduate students as a research seminar subject to the
special requirement of producing a major, 30-page
research paper based on primary materials.
Subject to the fulfillment of these conditions,
counts towards completion of the seminar
requirement in History.

| HIST 625 Topics in Ottoman Cultural History |
3 Credits |
|
Topics in Ottoman Cultural History
been treated mostly in terms of segmented and
isolated fields, giving rise to separate
"histories" of architecture, miniature painting, the other
decorative arts, music and literature.
Furthermore, its relationship with the Imperial
court has been narrowly and superficially
conceived, so that it has frequently been reduced to
a mere "reflection" of the political and
military fortunes of the state or the ruling house, and
simultaneously divorced from the material and
cultural conditions of production, the entire habitus,
of a court society. Against this historiographical
background, and through an ongoing critique of the
prevailing modes of interpretation (including
documentary, formalist retrospective-ideological, or
connoisseurial approaches, as well as more
up-to-date methodologies focusing on reception theory,
the social foundations of art, or identity
issues within art), HIST 625 will be exploring the
possible avenues of "total history" in this regard,
seeking to address questions of "Ottomanization",
"social, political and cultural fluidity", "legitimate
change", "barriers between various classes of
official Ottoman society", "erosion of corporate
distinction", or "cultural experimentations",
and encouraging students to investigate the ways in which
configurations of power and legitimation
(in all their change and continuity) were both expressed by
and constructed through artand culture at
various times. Counts towards fulfilling the seminar
requirement in History subject to the completion of a
major research paper (of around 30 pages)
largely based on primary source materials. For the
possibility of being taken as an upper
undergraduate lecture course, with adjusted readings and
requirements, see HIST 425. Prerequisite :
An adequate command of Ottoman Turkish, through TLL 501-502

3 Credits |
|
This course offers an in-depth study of the one-party period
and political system in Turkey, placing it in
its historical and political context, and introducing
primary source materials. Contrasting political
alignments had already emerged in the course of the
War of Independence; their extensions
and ramifications are pursued through the phase
immediately preceding the creation of the Republic,
down to the end of the Kemalist-dominated early
Republican era. The political, cultural, economic
and foreign policy dimensions of this entire
period are viewed as a whole, though with specific
emphasis on its political organizations. The
experience of 20th century dictatorships like Fascist Italy,
Nazi Germany, or Spain under Franco are
drawn upon in constructing a broad comparative framework.
May be taken by undergraduates as a taught course
(= POLS 392), and simultaneously by graduate

special requirement of producing a major, 30-page research
paper based on primary materials. Subject to the fulfillment

The existing literature about reform in the
Ottoman Empire in the 19th century concentrates
primarily on the institutional components of reform.
However, a great deal of research on the intellectual
and knowledge components of reform has appeared since the
1960s. The time has now come to review this literature and
bring it into a course constructed for that purpose.
Graduate students may take this as a research seminar,
subject to additional reading and research
requirements, including writing a major research paper based
