HIST 589 From Empire to Republic : Turkish Nationalism and the Nation-State
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.
