| Inhalt | Academe tends to separate research into the emergence of Turkish nationalism during the Ottoman Empire from its later development up until contemporary times in the Republic of Turkey. While the emergence of Turkish nationalism in the early 20th century (Young Turks, World War One, Turkish War of Independence, Kemalist reforms) is widely discussed by historians, the rise of a new composite Turkish-Muslim nationalist ideology (Turkish-Islamic synthesis) in the second half of the 20th century and early 21st century is mainly analyzed by political and other social scientists. The doctoral seminar Turkish Nationalism: Approaching Ottoman and Islamic Legacies beyond Ethnicity, Secularism, and Westernism strives to bring together these separate areas of focus by identifying the factors of continuity and structural similarity. The seminar will explore the complex relationship between Turkish nationalism and Islam, which is further complicated by the Ottoman imperial legacy. It aims to locate Turkish-Muslim nationalist attitudes towards ethnic and religious minorities, the West, Westernism, and secularism during the Ottoman and Republican periods within a single analytical framework. The doctoral seminar Turkish Nationalism: Approaching Ottoman and Islamic Legacies beyond Ethnicity, Secularism, and Westernism is a two-day intensive seminar (September 13-14, 2013) hosted and organized by Prof. Dr. Maurus Reinkowski and Alp Yenen, M.A., from the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Basel. Two leading scholars of Turkish nationalism will take over the instruction of the seminar. Prof. Dr. Erik J. Zürcher (University of Leiden), one of the leading scholars of the political and intellectual history of the late Ottoman and early Republican era, will introduce an advance study of the emergence and development of Turkish nationalism from empire to republic. Prof. Dr. M. Hakan Yavuz (University of Utah), a political scientist renowned for his study of political Islam and conservative nationalist movements in Turkey, will lecture on nationalism theories and the complex relationship between nationalism and Islam in the Turkish Republic. The objective of the seminar is for participants to acquire an advanced knowledge of the history, historiography, and theories of Turkish-Muslim nationalism. In addition, the seminar aims to enhance the skills of doctoral candidates in writing, presenting, and discussing conference papers. The seminar is funded by the MUBIT doctoral colloquium, which is jointly conducted by the departments of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at the universities of Basel, Bern, and Zurich. This seminar is MUBIT’s first and, therefore, inaugural workshop. |
