Seminar 2: The “Eastern Question” from an Ottoman perspective: dismemberment or survival?
主 旨 / Outline
The Eastern Question is the name that was given to the Great Powers’ visions and policies regarding the Ottoman Empire and its impending doom. While it can be dismissed as a typical Eurocentric concept, the question of how the Ottomans tried to navigate this international environment remains of crucial importance.

Seminar 3: Louis-Gaspard Barrachin, an antihero of Ottoman modernization and regeneration
主 旨 / Outline
The strange and unknown story of a French adventurer who managed to sell his knowledge of the Orient to France, and his Western skills to the Ottomans, to carve for himself a role in the Ottoman
establishment before turning against them in a bid for radical reforms “with, without, or despite the Turks.”

Seminar 4: The Reform edict of 1856 and the (still) burning issue of equality
主 旨 / Outline
An analysis of the process which brought the Tanzimat reforms to their climax with the promulgation of the Reform Edict granting full equality to all subjects of the Sultan and a broader contextualization of the notion of equality in a hierarchical and inegalitarian society whose fundamental principle was – and still is – justice/equity.
