Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Strangers, Friends and Enemies: Ottomans in Vienna and Habsburgs in Istanbul until the 19th CenturyThe seminar explores the history of encounters between the Ottomans and the Habsburgs, focusing on written testimonies of individuals who traveled between Istanbul and Vienna until the end of the 19th century. These include letters, travelogues, reports, and memoirs.The seminar employs a hybrid methodology: (i) reading and discussing primary sources and secondary literature forms the conventional approach; (ii) studying travel routes and network relations in the relevant sources using tools such as Gephi and Palladio represents the digital humanities approach.Strangers, Friends, and Enemies employs this hybrid methodology to explore Ottoman and Habsburg relations and their perceptions of one another through in-depth readings, discussions, and data visualization.In the course of the seminar, the students are to deal with a specific aspect of the topic, give a presentation on it and write a bachelor's thesis on it at the end.
Assessment and permitted materials
The weekly readings include samples of original source material, scholarly essays on the topic of the week, monographs, and edited volumes.
