Advisor: David Armitage Author: Dzavid Dzanic The Civilizing Sea: The Ideological Origins of the French Mediterranean Empire, 1789-1870 Abstract This dissertation examines the religious, diplomatic, legal, and intellectual history of French imperialism in Italy, Egypt, and Algeria between the 1789 French Revolution and the beginning of the French Third Republic in 1870. In examining the wider logic of French imperial expansion around the Mediterranean, this dissertation bridges the Revolutionary, Napoleonic, Restoration (1815-30), July Monarchy (1830-48), Second Republic (1848-52), and Second Empire (1852-70) periods. Moreover, this study represents the first comprehensive study of interactions between imperial officers and local actors around the Mediterranean. I argue that local responses to invasions and threats of invasion—rooted in new interpretations of Islam, Catholicism, and regional political traditions—framed the emergence and durability of the French Mediterranean Empire. This dissertation also bridges the often-bifurcated northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean and it shows that a struggle over new ideas of legitimacy accompanied the building of the French Mediterranean Empire. More specifically, I trace the ways in which French officers and diplomats used the Roman imperial legacy in the Mediterranean in order to claim that they had embarked on a “civilizing mission” in the basin. Moreover, I examine the religious ideas used by local populations who reacted to French empire building. This dissertation demonstrates that local religious opposition to iii French imperialism played a large role in undermining the spread of French rule in Italy, Egypt, and Algeria before 1830. However, this study also shows that the rise of a large group of Algerian notables who justified French rule through Islamic texts in the decades that followed the French invasion of Algiers in 1830 facilitated the nesting of French empire building along the southern shores of the Mediterranean. The partial overcoming of the religious obstacle to French rule in turn facilitated a number of archeological missions and the exploration of oases deep in the Algerian Sahara between the 1850s and 1870s. I argue that these exploratory missions transformed the French imperial ideology, first by making the Roman imperial legacy its main hallmark after the 1840s, and then by changing it into a more universal ideology of cultural and commercial transformation once French explorers crossed the frontier marked by Roman ruins in the Algerian desert. Overall, therefore, this dissertation demonstrates that a Mediterranean strategy emerged between 1789 and 1870 and that it both centered French empire building around the basin and reframed France’s global ambitions. iv Table of Contents Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iii!

    Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica «Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica» by Eyal Ginio Source: Southeast­Studies (Südost­Forschungen), issue: 65­66 / 2006­2007, pages: 137­164, on www.ceeol.com. Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica By EYAL GINIO (Jerusalem) A loaf of fi ne, white French bread, called francala by the Ottomans and apparently of Italian origin, cast its shadow in the fi rst months of 1806 on the already deteriorating relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the French state (or devlet, the term adopted by the Ottomans when referring to post-revolutionary France). We learn about this debate from a sultanic decree, a ferman, issued on 6th April 1806 in response to a petition submitted by the French chargé d’aff aires (maslahatgüzar) in the imperial capi- tal. Th e petition involved the French claim regarding their ancient privilege to possess their own bakery in which francala bread and rusks (peksimet) would be produced.1 Th is privilege, the edict emphasized, was vital in order for the French to supply their “necessities of life” (kefaf-i nefs). Th e clientele for these pastries in Salonica was quite considerable: according to the petition, it included the consul (komisar in the new Ot- toman terminology) and his agents, merchants, all kind of visitors, and seafarers – in short, the local French “nation”.2 We can presume

Il y a trouvé le bonheur de vivre, en artiste discret. Les grands circuits marchands et les cénacles qui font l’histoire de l’art l’ont oublié. Pourtant Pierre DEVAL traverse le siècle. A l’orée de la guerre de 1914-1918, il échange avec René Clair des enthousiasmes d’adolescent pour la poésie, la musique, la peinture. Au début des années 20, il partage à Paris l’aventure Dada avec Breton, Tzara, Aragon, Soupault, Jacques Rigaut. A Lyon, il dirige une revue avec Jean Epstein. Une de ses huiles, Ariane, accueillie au Salon d’Automne, est acquise par l’État et exposée au Jeu de Paume. En 1923, pensionnaire de la Villa Abd-el-Tif, en Algérie, il lie une amitié profonde avec Albert Marquet. A son retour, il expose à la Biennale de Venise puis fréquente les grands Fauves sur la Côte d’Azur : Matisse, Manguin, Camoin, Jean Puy, Othon Friez.
