Transforming Southeast Europe During the Long 19th Century : Persons and Personalities as Agents of Modernization in the Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Space, 2024

He belonged to the group of very well-educated European experts that the Ottoman state actively recruited during the Tanzimat period in order to push the reform process. He began his career in one of the central institutions of the state, the Translation Office of the Sublime Porte (Bâb-i Âli Tercüme Odası), served as a criminal judge, and was eventually appointed founding director of the first modern law school in 1879. Emin Efendi was an extraordinarily important figure for the establishment and development of the judicial education according to the Western model. As the founding director of the Mekteb-i Hukûk he shaped the guidelines for a systematic education of lawyers and laid the foundation of the later Istanbul University Faculty of Law. Although he was a convert and his 'Prussian nature' sometimes irritated those around him, his extensive knowledge of both Islamic and Western law made him highly respected among his students and Ottoman dignitaries, such as Ahmed Cevdet Pasha, who patronized him. Given his central role in the modernization process and his prominence, there is surprisingly little information about him. After a brief biographical overview, the article focuses on Emin Efendi's professional activities and network. For this purpose, archival documents from German archives are used in addition to Ottoman sources.

Vienna was rarely a first destination for Ottoman travellers of the 19th and early 20th centuries... more Vienna was rarely a first destination for Ottoman travellers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, at least for those who left travel descriptions.1 Certainly, from the mid-19th century onwards France, with its capital Paris, was the preferred destination, followed later by other European countries such as Great Britain or Germany.2 Vienna appears mostly as a stopover for travellers on their route, unless they had a mission there. When we look further back, we may consider the first attempt to conquer the capital of the Habsburg Empire in 1529 as an unaccomplished mission. Even then Ferdinand I (by then King of Bohemia, Hungary and Croatia and Archduke of Austria) was probably the target of Sultan Süleyman I (r. 1520-1566) and not Vienna.3 But in 1683, Vienna became the "Golden Apple" (ḳızıl elma), a symbolically and materially highly valuable target to be conquered.4 Despite this clear motive and goal, this mission was also doomed to failure. Close to 20 years earlier, Evliya Çelebi, certainly the most famous Ottoman traveller, visited Vienna in the delegation of the envoy Kara Mehmed Pasha, in 1665. His short stay5 is

After he and other opposition figures were imprisoned for several months and accused of establishing a secret committee to conspire against the CUP government, Rıza Nur travelled to Vienna in 1911 in order to recover from his stay in prison. His "Letters from Vienna" (Viyana Mektūbları), which he wrote during his stay, were presumably planned as a series of articles which, however, has never been published. The contribution focuses on Rıza Nur's reflections about Austria-Hungary and Vienna as models for the Ottoman Empire and its institutions. Besides the geographical proximity of Austria-Hungary as well as a long-shared history it is above all the fact that Austria represents itself politically and socially as a mosaic, thus showing some parallels to the Ottoman state that make it an exemplary model to emulate. In diesem Beitrag werden unveröffentlichte Briefe des umstrittenen türkischen Nationalisten Rıza Nur (1879-1942) über Wien untersucht. Nachdem er und andere Oppositionelle für mehrere Monate inhaftiert und beschuldigt wurden, ein geheimes Komitee gegründet zu haben, um sich gegen die CUP-Regierung zu verschwören, reiste Rıza Nur 1911 nach Wien, um sich von seinem Gefängnisaufenthalt zu erholen. Seine "Briefe aus Wien" (Viyana Mektūbları), die er während seines Aufenthalts schrieb, waren vermutlich als Artikelserie geplant, die jedoch nie veröffentlicht wurde. Im Mittelpunkt des Artikels stehen Rıza Nurs Überlegungen zu Österreich-Ungarn und Wien als Vorbilder für das Osmanische Reich und seine Institutionen. Neben der

By that it aims to draw attention to Turkey as an interesting case in point for the study of the history of marketing practices in a non-Western context. Design/methodology/approach-This study deploys a variety of largely unexplored material ranging from archival sources to newspaper reports and advertisements. In the first part, archival sources provided by the Nestlé archives (AHN) will be analyzed to present the company's marketing strategy. As the amount on advertisements between 1952 and 1984 remained modest, the second part is devoted to the analysis of Turkish media reports to discuss Nescafé's public perception. Findings-The paper demonstrates that during the period under consideration the instable political and economic environment was pivotal for Nescafé's marketing. Nestlé in the early years used similar strategies as in the West advertising Nescafé as a premium product for the upper middle-class. Due to import restrictions, it was a scarce and high-priced product. Nescafé succeeded to become a highly esteemed and sought-after product because it stood for Western modernity and prosperity. The study argues that it was not primarily Nestlé's marketing that resulted in Nescafé's considerable brand recognition but its public "visibility" through media reporting. Research limitations/implications-This study is a preliminary attempt to investigate the history of instant coffee and its marketing in a non-Western market. The paper is mainly focused on Nescafé because it was and still is the most important brand in Turkey. Further, this paper brings into spotlight a country with distinct sociopolitical and cultural particularities which distinguish it from Western countries and allow to scrutinize how marketing practice and thought may develop in a non-Western setting. Further research is needed as Turkey's specific marketing environment is far from being thoroughly investigated. Originality/value-By focusing on Turkey, this paper provides an insight into the specific ways Nescafé was marketed, consumed and perceived in a non-Western market. By that it allows to consider how multinational companies responded and adapted to a culturally, politically and economically challenging environment.

Bringing together a variety of case studies that reflect a broad range of individual experiences in changing historical circumstances, the book provides a detailed study of the process of Ottomanization. The book draws upon a variety of archival and other sources such as travelogues, diaries and folk epics, including lesser known examples, from early-modern Czech, Venetian and Wallachian views of converts, to case studies of 19th century British, German and Austrians who switched loyalty. They show that this process depended on a range of factors, from conversion, to integration into the culture of the ruling elites, fluency in the language, affiliation through family ties or marriage, and, most importantly, social status and professional rank.

The volume is divided into six parts that present current research on language, literature, and style as well as newer approaches and perspectives in dealing with sources and terminologies. Aspects such as conquest, administration, and financing of provinces are found as well as problems of endowments and the circulation of goods in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Another main topic is dedicated to minorities and their role and situation in various provinces and cities of the Ottoman Empire, as represented by various sources. But also topics like conversion, morality and control are illuminated. Finally, the volume provides an insight into the late Ottoman and early republican period, in which some previously unpublished sources (such as travel letters, memoirs) are presented and (re)discussed. The book is not only aimed at scholars and students of the Ottoman Empire; the thematic range is also of interest to linguists, historians, and cultural historians.

Im Zentrum steht dabei die Spannung zwischen repressiver Staatsideologie und kultureller und gesellschaftlicher Vielfalt, zwischen der Verfestigung autoritärer, neopatrimonialer Strukturen während der Regierungszeit der AKP unter Tayyip Erdoğan und vielfältigen Formen des Widerstands.
Viele der Beiträge reagieren direkt oder indirekt auf die gewaltsame Niederschlagung der Gezi-Proteste im Juni 2013 und beleuchten aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive das Scheitern des neoliberalen Arrangements sowie die vehement geführten Auseinandersetzungen um Geschlechterrollen und ethnische und religiöse Identitäten.
