It undertakes a comparative textual analysis of the two founding documents of the Tanzimat paradigm, the imperial edicts of 1839 and 1856. These texts, it is shown, bespeak different conceptual grammars: whereas the former is anchored in the Ottoman and Islamic tradition (the Quran, the Prophet, the shariʿa, the all-encompassing embrace of imperial justice and the personal ethics of the sultan), the latter is framed in terms of imperial dignity, civilized nations, and the rationality of international law and enacts the equality of subjects by the institutionalization of sectarian affiliation. The period of the Tanzimat is thus better understood as split by an epistemic break rather than the steady continuity of progress assumed by the very concept of reform.","PeriodicalId":36583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association","volume":"9 1","pages":"179 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44947565","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}

This study sheds light on the lesser-known architects of community construction projects in Constantinople/Istanbul, so as to address questions about their background and the social context in which they lived. To answer these questions, we examine the case of architect Pericles Fotiades, who lived and worked in Constantinople in the last thirty-five years that it was imperial capital. The paper is a biographical essay on Fotiades and his architectural career, but also covers the architectural changes that occurred in Constantinople in the last four Ottoman decades. Finally, the publication presents the various buildings designed by Fotiades as well as his charitable work.","PeriodicalId":36583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association","volume":"9 1","pages":"71 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47459288","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}

The focus is particularly on the empire's last century, the period 1821–1924, which is bookended by the Greek Revolution on the one hand and the Treaty of Lausanne and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey on the other. The study surveys the evolution of these administrative communities, including their changing number and the boundaries between them, as well as the changes that had an impact on the demographics, land planning, and administration. This is a history that is abundantly documented in Greek-language scholarship, but which is not integrated into mainstream Ottoman history conversations. The hope is to provide a basic working knowledge of the internal world and dynamics of the Rum communities of the Ottoman capital for an Ottomanist audience.","PeriodicalId":36583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association","volume":"9 1","pages":"19 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42974585","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}
