Publié le mercredi 08 septembre 2010

Résumé

The conference aims to explore various aspects of the communal organization in the Ottoman Empire for regions such as Asia Minor, Middle East and the Balkans, and to present the changes that occurred within the religious communities during the 19th century and particularly during the period from Tanzimat reforms until the First World War. Key questions in relation to the modernization process of the Ottoman state and the functioning of religious communities, are a) how does the Sublime Porte understand the process of structuring a modern state with respect to religious communities, b) who is responsible for the modern institutions: the state or the religious communities, c) what is the reaction of the religious communities regarding the modernization process d) why and in what way the religious communities are changing on the light of this process.

Annonce

We would like to invite you to attend the International Conference Religious community and modern statehood: « The passage from the Ottoman Empire to modern states », organized by the Department of Turkish and Middle Eastern Studies of the University of Cyprus and the École française d'Athènes. The Conference will be held in Nicosia during the 29th and the 30th of October 2010.
One of the main features of the modern state has been the intention of the state to penetrate to society and to control in a large extent the daily life of its citizens. In order to control the society, the modern state tried to exploit it’s citizens in different levels through various institutions, such as public education, obligatory recruitment and bureaucratic organization. Based on religious communities, the Ottoman Empire tried to control the populations in the Ottoman lands, imposing thus its own imperial perception for the state and its people. The existence of the religious communities and the functioning of the Ottoman state on the basis of these communities, made the passage from the Ottoman imperial structure to the modern states, a complicated procedure.
