The mapping capability\u0000 – offered by the resulting simulation game 73 Easting – to visualize the\u0000 battlefield from any position and point in time revolutionized military\u0000 exercises.

The\u0000 case of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century demonstrates that\u0000 European techniques of knowledge production were also strategically adopted\u0000 by ruling elites outside the colonial metropolises. Ottoman adoption of\u0000 European technologies and techniques were politically entwined with the\u0000 empire’s territorial claims against nascent nationalisms and a calculated\u0000 move towards knowledge-based forms of government administration in the\u0000 quest to hold onto power. Cartographic and demographic methods used by\u0000 the Ottomans produced new assemblages of territory and population that\u0000 profoundly reshaped the objective of government and the conduct of imperial\u0000 administration. Statistics and geography became the choice tools of social\u0000 progress and advancement, underpinning the numerous reforms of the\u0000 nineteenth century aimed at rationalisation and centralisation.","PeriodicalId":225180,"journal":{"name":"Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130427089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
