Yunanistan Ulusal Araştırma Enstitüsü Osmanlı Araştırmaları Programı ve Orient-Institut Istanbul işbirliğiyle Sismanoglio Megaro binasında “Doğu Akdeniz’de Osmanlı Geçmişini Hatırlamak” başlıklı bir konuşmalar dizisi düzenliyor. Ekim 2015 – Mayıs 2016 eğitim öğretim döneminde Sismanoglio Megaro’da Evangelia Balta (Program of Ottoman Studies, National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens) ile Richard Wittmann’ın (Orient-Institut, Istanbul) birlikte düzenleyeceği bu konferans dizisi, Doğu Akdeniz bölgesindeki günümüz sakinlerinin ortak geçmişlerinin çeşitli yönlerine ışık tutmayı amaçlıyor. Bu konferans dizisi Orient-Institut Istanbul ile Program of Ottoman Studies at the National Hellenic Research Foundation’ın araştırma alanlarıyla örtüşmektedir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun yıkılışının sonuçlarıyla etkilerinin halen hissedildiği günümüzde, bu konferanslar hâkim tarihyazımının standart kurallarını ve sınırlarını zorlayan çok sayıda kaynağa odaklanmaktadır. Kişisel ve resmi yazılı kaynaklarının yanı sıra görsel ve sanatsal ifade biçimlerini de araştırma sürecine dahil eden bu dizi, bu geniş –ve yüzyıllar boyunca bir bütün olarak kalmış– coğrafi alanda yirminci yüzyılın ilk otuz yılındaki derin siyasi değişikliklere eşlik eden kopuşlara ve sürekliliklere bir ışık tutma denemesi olacaktır.

Eleftheria Zei: Tarihte Görünmez Kentler: Girit, 19.-20. Yüzyıllar
ÖZET: 19. yüzyıl ile 20. yüzyıl arasında, yarı-özerk ‘Girit Devleti’ döneminde (1898-1906), Girit’in kentli toplulukları iktisadi, toplumsal ve siyasal dönüşümler yaşadı. Bu dönüşümlerin kentsel mekâna ve onun toplumsal ayrımlarına da yansımaları oldu. Mısır idaresi altında ve Tanzimat reformlarıyla mimari yenilikleri tecrübe etmeye başlamış olan ve yeni yeni kentleşen Girit kasabaları, modern devlet ve kamu otoritesi hakkındaki neo-klasik Yunan düşünceleri için ideal bir locus olmakla kalmadı. Aynı zamanda, adanın tarihsel geçmişini millileştirerek Müslüman kent mekânını yeniden sahiplenmeyi amaçlayan adanın yeni Hristiyan elitleri arasında da yoğun ideolojik tartışmaların alanı haline geldi.
Heath Ward Lowry: Osmanlı Son Döneminde Serez’deki Yaşama Özgün Bir Bakış: Mehmed Esad Serezli’nin Anıları
ÖZET: Osmanlı Tarihi üzerine çalışan araştırmacılar, yerel tarih veya kent tarihi olarak adlandırılan türde eserlere hemen hiç rastlamazlar. Bu durumun bir istisnası Mehmed Esad Serezli’nin, doğduğu şehir olan Doğu Makedonya’daki Serez’i en ince ayrıntılarına kadar tasvir ettiği ve kısa süre önce yayınlanan iki ciltlik çalışmasıdır. Bu konuşma bu çalışmanın Serez’in on dokuzuncu yüzyıl sonu ve yirminci yüzyıl başı tarihi açısından önemini göstermeyi amaçlıyor.
Τhe National Hellenic Research Institute (Ottoman Studies Programme) and the Orient-Institut (Istanbul) is to hold at the Sismanoglio Megaro a series of lectures titled “Remembering the Ottoman Past in the Eastern Mediterranean”. This joint series of lectures organized by Evangelia Balta (Programme of Ottoman Studies, National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens) and Richard Wittmann (Orient-Institut, Istanbul), to be held at the Sismanoglio Megaro during the October 2015 – May 2016 academic year, aims to shed light on various aspects of the communal past of today’s residents of the Eastern Mediterannean region. This series of lectures is consistent with the research interests of the Orient-Institut Istanbul and the Programme of Ottoman Studies at the National Hellenic Research Foundation. It focuses on a large number of sources that go beyond the standard rules of established history-writing. By taking into account personal and official textual sources, as well as visual and artistic forms of expression, an attempt will be made to throw light on the rifts and continuities that accompanied the profound political reshuffling in this wide – and for centuries, unified – geographical area during the first third of the twentieth century.

Our guests on 18th Nov 2015 presented the Ottoman past of two Greek regions, Crete and Serres, one in the south of the country and one in the north, which differ as to the time and manner of their conquest by the Ottomans. Crete, a Venetian possession, became part of the Ottoman Empire very late in 1670 after a long, difficult war, while Serres fell to the Ottomans in 1383. A little later the lands of Serres were given over to Gazi Evrenos Bey, the kazasker Kara Halil Hayreddin Paşa from the Candarlı family. According to local tradition, Serres capitulated as a result of a particularly favourable agreement for the city’s Christian population. Under this no church was to be converted into a mosque and the Muslims would not be entitled to live inside the walled town. The monastery of St. John the Baptist, Margarid Manastırı, retained the privileges and property it had had under the Byzantines and the Serbs. Here the first patriarch after the Fall of Constantinople, Gennadius Scholarius, was to live as a monk and later be buried. The Muslim quarters and all the mosques, mescid, zaviye, medrese, bezesten, etc. were built around the old walled city by great hegemonic families and members of the sultan’s family. These institutions are described by Μehmet Esad Serezli in his five recently-published manuscripts found at Milli Kütüphane which also reflect his memories of relations between the ethno-religious communities, their manners and customs. An ethnography resembling those portraying their own fatherlands left behind at the Centre for Asia Minor Studies by Rum refugees from Anatolia. Born in 1877 in the mahalle of Eslime Ηatun in Serres, he died a refugee in Ankara in 1965. The audience was taken on a tour of Μehmet Esad Serezli’s beloved Serres by Prof. Ηeath Lowry, who over the last few years has been systematically studying the presence of Evrenos Bey in Northern Greece. Lowry has been the Atatürk Professor of Ottoman and Modern Turkish Studies at Princeton University.
Eleftheria Zei: The invisible cities in history: Crete 19th-20th centuries.
ABSTRACT: Between 19th and 20th century, during the period of the semi-autonomous “Cretan State” (1898-1906), Cretan urban societies undergo a series of important economic, social, political and cultural transformations, which reflected on urban space and its social distinctions. Having already experienced architectural innovations during the Egyptian administration and the Tanzimat reforms, newly urbanized Cretan towns not only became an ideal locus of Greek neoclassical ideas on modern State and public authority, but also the field of intense ideological debates among new Christian elites of the island, who aim at the re-appropriation of Muslim urban space through the nationalization of its historical past.
Heath Ward Lowry: A Unique Glimpse into the Life in Late Ottoman Serez:
The Memoirs of Mehmed Esad Serezli
ABSTRACT: Totally missing to the students of Ottoman History is the genre of work known as local or city histories. One exception is the recently published two volume work by Mehmed Esad Serezli describing in minute detail the city of his birth, Serez in Eastern Macedonia. The present talk seeks to illustrate the value of this study for the city’s late 19th and early 20th century history.
