Die Bamberger Orientalistik koppelt mehrere kleine Fächer zu einem starken Verbund.

Ein großes Dach für mehrere kleine Fächer: Das Institut für Orientalistik versammelt in Bamberg sieben eigenständige Lehr- und Forschungsgebiete, von Arabistik bis Turkologie. Der Fächerverbund führt zu fruchtbaren Kooperationen wie einen gemeinsamen Studiengang, aber auch zu einer produktiven Streitkultur wie im Fall von Wikipedia. Zwei aktuelle Forschungsvorhaben führen in die Krisenregion Südosttürkei/Syrien und leisten einen Beitrag zur Vorgeschichte heutiger Konfliktlagen.

Knowledge on the Move in a Transottoman Perspective:
The volume investigates flows of knowledge that transcended social, cultural, linguistic and political boundaries. Dealing with different sources such as dictionaries, early printed books, political advice literature, and modern periodicals, the case studies in this anthology cover a time frame from the 15th to the early 20th century. Being concerned with a wide variety of geographical areas, including the Ottoman capital Istanbul, provincial settings like Ottoman Palestine, and also Egypt, Bosnia, Crimea, the Persian realm and Poland-Lithuania, this volume gives transepochal and transregional insights in the production, transmission, and translation of knowledge. In so doing it contributes to current debates in transcultural studies, global history, and the history of knowledge.

This volume investigates flows of knowledge that transcended social, cultural, linguistic and political boundaries. Dealing with different sources such as dictionaries, early printed books, political advice literature, and modern periodicals, the case studies in this anthology cover a time frame from the 15th to the early 20th century. Being concerned with a wide variety of geographical areas, including the Ottoman capital Istanbul, provincial settings like Ottoman Palestine, and also Egypt, Bosnia, Crimea, the Persian realm and Poland-Lithuania, the book gives transepochal and transregional insights in the production, transmission, and translation of knowledge. In so doing it contributes to current debates in transcultural studies, global history, and the history of knowledge.

This workshop examines relations between the late Ottoman Empire (1878-1922) and the
“Germansphere.” We employ the term “Germansphere” to designate a region shaped by a strong
influence of the German language and common forms of cultural literacy, which comprises at its core
the countries Germany, Austria(-Hungary), and Switzerland. Using insights from transnational and
new imperial history our contributions address the question: under which circumstances did
relations between the Ottomans and the Germansphere accommodate, support, or contradict the
logics and structures of (informal) imperialism?
