  • Mythistory in a Nationalist Age
    MYTHISTORY IN A NATIONALIST AGE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SERBIAN AND GREEK POSTMODERN FICTION by TATJANA ALEKSIĆ A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Comparative Literature written under the direction of Professor Marie Josephine Diamond New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2007 © 2007 Tatjana Aleksić ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Mythistory in a Nationalist Age: A Comparative Analysis of Serbian and Greek Postmodern Fiction By TATJANA ALEKSIĆ Dissertation Director: M. Josephine Diamond The dissertation is a study of postmodern Serbian and Greek novels that reflect the most recent historical trauma in the Balkans. The texts I analyze in specific chapters are Eugenia Fakinou’s The Seventh Garment (1983), Milorad Pavić’s The Dictionary of the Khazars (1984), Rhea Galanaki’s The Life of Ismail Ferik-Pasha (1989), and David Albahari’s Bait (1996). The appropriation of the term ‘mythistory’ as a key concept in defining the postmodern narratives analyzed in my dissertation derives from the absence of a clear distinction between mythological and historical national origins. In the Serbian texts analyzed interrogations of history feature as the dominant narrative mode, while even in historically informed Greek texts mythical subtext often figures as the cardinal referent. A possible reason for such a broad appropriation of myth lies in the claim of late 18th-century Greek nationalists to the classical glory of Ancient Greece. This liaison enabled the closure of the gap between the classical period of, predominantly mythically informed, Greek antiquity and post-Ottoman Greek modernity.

  • Letters from Vidin: a Study of Ottoman Governmentality and Politics of Local Administration, 1864-1877
    LETTERS FROM VIDIN: A STUDY OF OTTOMAN GOVERNMENTALITY AND POLITICS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, 1864-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Mehmet Safa Saracoglu ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Carter Vaughn Findley, Adviser Professor Jane Hathaway ______________________ Professor Kenneth Andrien Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by Mehmet Safa Saracoglu 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the local administrative practices in Vidin County during 1860s and 1870s. Vidin County, as defined by the Ottoman Provincial Regulation of 1864, is the area that includes the districts of Vidin (the administrative center), ‛Adliye (modern-day Kula), Belgradcık (Belogradchik), Berkofça (Bergovitsa), İvraca (Vratsa), Rahova (Rahovo), and Lom (Lom), all of which are located in modern-day Bulgaria. My focus is mostly on the post-1864 period primarily due to the document utilized for this dissertation: the copy registers of the county administrative council in Vidin. Doing a close reading of these copy registers together with other primary and secondary sources this dissertation analyzes the politics of local administration in Vidin as a case study to understand the Ottoman governmentality in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main thesis of this study contends that the local inhabitants of Vidin effectively used the institutional framework of local administration ii in this period of transformation in order to devise strategies that served their interests. This work distances itself from an understanding of the nineteenth-century local politics as polarized between a dominating local government trying to impose unprecedented reforms designed at the imperial center on the one hand, and an oppressed but nevertheless resistant people, rebelling against the insensitive policies of the state on the other.

    THE MODERNIZATION OF THE OTTOMAN NAVY DURING THE REIGN OF SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ (1861-1876) by DİLARA DAL A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April, 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The main focus of this study is to examine the modernization of the Ottoman navy during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, exploring naval administration, education, and technology. Giving a summary of the transformation of shipbuilding technologies and bureaucratic institutions of the Ottoman naval forces between 1808 and 1861, it analyses the structure of the Ottoman navy, its level of development in comparison to previous periods of time, and the condition of the vessels making up the naval fleet from 1861 to 1876. It also intends to evaluate the character of existing administrative structures at the outset of Abdülaziz’s reign in 1861 and the nature of subsequent changes, including structural reorganization of the Imperial Naval Arsenal, the Ministry of Marine, and the Naval Academy, as well as advancements in military training and seafaring; all within the context of the impact of these changes on the military, political, and economic condition of the Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.

  • Yemen Isyani Ve Trabzon Redif Taburu (1905-1906)
    YEMEN İSYANI VE TRABZON REDİF TABURU (1905-1906) Cengiz ÇAKALOĞLU∗ Özet: Osmanlı hâkimiyeti boyunca her zaman problemli bir bölge olan Yemen’deki en önemli isyanlardan biri de, İmam Yahya’nın önderlik ettiği isyandır. Bu isyanı bastırmak amacıyla, 1905 yılında nizamiye birliklerinin yanında Anadolu ve Rumeli’den çok sayıda redif taburu da sevk edildi. Bunlardan biri de, Rize Redif Livası’nı teşkil eden sekiz taburdan biri olan Trabzon Taburu’ydu. Yaklaşık bir buçuk yıl Yemen’de bulunan Trabzon Taburu, bu süre zarfında gerçekleştirilen harekâtlarda önemli rol oynadıktan sonra 1906 yılı sonlarında terhis edildi. Anahtar Kelimeler: Trabzon, Yemen, redif, tabur. I. Giriş Osmanlı Devleti’nin asıl ordusunu teşkil eden nizamiye kuvvetlerinin yanında, ihtiyaç halinde yararlanılacak bir ihtiyat ordusu olarak ifade edilebilecek olan Redif teşkilatı, Sultan II. Mahmud döneminde 1834 yılında kurulmuştur. 1843’te çıkarılan kanuna göre 5 yıllık normal askerlik süresini yani muvazzaflık süresini tamamlayanlar 7 yıl da rediflik hizmetinde bulunacaklardı1. Zaman içerisinde teşkilatla ilgili yeni düzenlemeler yapıldığı için rediflik süresi de farklılık göstermekle beraber, süre ile ilgili son düzenleme 1881’de yapılmış ve Sultan II. Abdülhamid devrinin sonuna kadar yürürlükte kalmıştır. Buna göre nizamiye ordusunda hizmetini tamamlayanlar 8 yıl da redif sınıfında kalacaklardır2. Yemen’deki 7. Ordu dışında Osmanlı Devleti’nin diğer altı ordusunda redif teşkilatı mevcuttu. 1894 yılından sonra her ordu ikişer redif fırkasından meydana gelmekteydi. Fırkalar ikişer livadan, livalar ikişer alaydan, alaylar dörder taburdan oluşuyordu3. Redif taburları, bulundukları alay içinde birden dörde kadar numara almakta iseler de, bulundukları yerlerin isimlerini taşımakta idiler. Her redif fırkasına bir ferik, redif livasına mirliva komuta etmekte idi. Redif alayı komutanlıklarına tek numaralı olanlarına miralay ve çift olanlarına kaymakam atanmakta idi.

  • Avigdor Levy the OFFICER CORPS in SULTAN MAHMUD II's NEW OTTOMAN ARMY, 1826-39
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 2 (1971), 21-39 Printed in Great Britain 21 Avigdor Levy THE OFFICER CORPS IN SULTAN MAHMUD II'S NEW OTTOMAN ARMY, 1826-39* On 15 June 1826, after some fierce though brief fighting in the streets of Istanbul, Sultan Mahmud II effectively crushed the last serious Janissary uprising in the history of the Ottoman Empire. Two days later the five-centuries-old Janissary corps, which had long resisted change and modernization, was declared legally abolished. In its place there was to be organized a modern army called the Trained Victorious Muslim Troops (Muallem Asdkir-i Mansure-yi Muham- madiye), or the Victorious (Mansure) for short. Though he seems to have been unaware of it, the most difficult problem facing Sultan Mahmud at this initial stage was the recruitment of the cadres needed to train and lead his new army. Another Middle Eastern military reformer, Muhammad Ali of Egypt, had earlier solved this problem quite satisfactorily, as his troops were then proving in Arabia, the Sudan and Greece. Advised by capable European officers, the ruler of Egypt approached the prob- lem methodically. In 1816, in a special barracks set up at distant Aswan, the French Colonel Seve began training 500 selected youths. Only three years later, when one thousand officers had graduated from this school, did Muham- mad Ali begin to recruit his first Egyptian regiments.1 The Sultan, however, was hard pressed for time. The Janissaries had been the central element in the Ottoman military system, and the vacuum left by their suppression rendered the empire temporarily defenceless against foreign attack.

  • Williams of Kars
    WILLIAMS OF KARS MAXWELL VESEY HEN the Soviet made a recent demand upon Turkey for W cession to it of the Kars Plateau, an area south of the Black Sea and adjoining the Iranian Province of Azerbaijan, the word "Kars" reappeared in the news. It was a word made memorable in the Crimean War, when it rang around the world in much the same way as did Tobruk and Bataan not long ago. For Kars also was an heroic defence against great odds, when Turkish forces under British command held the Russian army at bay until disease and hunger forced surrender. Few now realize that in that war of a past era, in which Great Britain was engaged, the name of a Nova Scotian soldier stood for the same qualities which illumine those of the great generals of our time. This Nova Scotian was General Sir William Fenwick Williams, Bart., K.C.B., known to his genera­ tion as Williams of Kars. His defence of the town of Kars in Turkish Armenia, not far from Mount Ararat, was considered one of the most notable in British annals, and he was acclaimed for it in much the same manner as was General Douglas Mac's Arthur for his stand at Bataan. Look on the map of New Brunswick and observe the name Kars applied to a parish in King's County. It links the Province with the far-off Caucasus region, important as it was in the Crimean War time, because of its strategic position in regard to Turkey. Kars Parish got its name from Williams of Kars, chiefly because the General had a strong personal link with King's County in its principal town of Sussex.

  • The Provincial Reforms of the Early Tanzimat Period As Implemented in the Kaza of Avrethisari*
    THE PROVINCIAL REFORMS OF THE EARLY TANZIMAT PERIOD AS IMPLEMENTED IN THE KAZA OF AVRETHISARI* Mehmet Alaaddin YALÇINKAYA ** INTRODUCTION In this paper I shall investigate the a'yanlık institution and the provincial reforms in the reign of Mahmud II and the early Tanzi- mat Period in the light of an entry of the sİCil in the kaza of Avret- hisan in Salonica (Selanik)!. In the first part, I shall give some information about the emer- gence and the development of the institution of A'yanlık which is of significance with respeet to the above documenl. The second part attempts to investigate the provincial reforms of Mahmud II while the third part examines in some details the proV'incial admin- istration at the beginning of the Tanzimat-i Hayriyye period. In the last part Ishall investigate the importance of the tevzi' defteri of the kaza of Avrethisari asa historical source. This study is based on an entry of the tevzi defteri belonging to the early Tanzimat period, precisely from 29 August 1840 (1 Receb 1256), and therefore this study is confined to this period. As is known, from the second half of the seventeenth century until the early Tanzimat period tevzi (masanf) defterleri are the primary sources for the history of Ottoman provincial administration. The mentioned sİCil in use for this study is a very good example of a type of Iate tevzi' (masanf) defteri. Therefore, it may be useful to * This artiele is based on my M.A. dissertation submitted to the Centre for Byzan- tine, Ottoman and Modem Greek Studies, Birmingham University, England 1989.
