Event details

“Modernist Writing and the Ottoman Empire” gathers scholarly works that delve into modernist narrative discourses concerning the Ottoman Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By underscoring the often-overlooked nexus between modernism and the Ottoman Empire and emphasizing Turkey’s contributions to modernist thought, the symposium will foster discussions on how modernist narratives and practices engage with themes of “otherness,” the Orient, and the Ottoman Empire.
