About This Book
Wie geht eine intellektuelle Elite, die ihre Position im Osmanischen Reich erlangt und ihr Selbstverständnis aus diesem gespeist hat, mit dessen Verlust und Wandel um? Anhand der Repräsentationen Südosteuropas in osmanischer und türkischer Reiseliteratur wird dies auf der Ebene der Autoren nachgezeichnet. Es werden ihre Versuche analysiert, sich selbst, ihre Heimat und die bereiste Region innerhalb eines sich verändernden zwischenstaatlichen Machtgefüges neu zu positionieren. Die Untersuchung der Verarbeitungsmechanismen des Beobachteten ? die Verwunderung und das Erinnern ? erlaubt eine Neubewertung der Bedeutung der verlorenen Region für die Gegenwart der Autoren. All dies eröffnet eine weitere Perspektive auf den Übergang von Reich zu Republik.
How does an intellectual elite that has achieved its position in the Ottoman Empire and has fed its self-image from it deal with its loss and change? Based on the representations of Southeast Europe in Ottoman and Turkish travel literature, this is traced at the author's level. Their attempts to reposition themselves, their homeland and the region they travel to within a changing interstate power structure are analyzed. The investigation of the processing mechanisms of the observed, the amazement and the remembering, allows a reassessment of the importance of the lost region for the present authors. All of this opens up another perspective on the transition from empire to republic.
