This semester we will particularly focus on i. theories related to the making of historical and contemporary capitalism; ii. world history and everyday in the contemporary context of global capitalism; iii.rethinking the area studies specifically with its new global reach; iv.new theories of fascism, we'll consider fascism not as a lived historical specifity but as an abstract political concept related to the commodity form, as formulated by Marx, i.e. fascism as the subsumption of the economic and the political.

ATA 59E: Comparative Empires, Political Economy, Everyday Politics, Fall 2020

We start with the discussion of theories of comparison, the problem of temporality, and time-space relationship. We'll specifically concentrate on providing a critique of well-established paradigms of comparison and linear conception of time still informing historiographies of Ottoman and Russian empires, China and Japan. The course aims to provide a critical and alternative ground of comparison for nineteenth-century histories of these societies. The course then proceeds to examination of comparative histories of these societies particularly with a focus on political economy, taxation and fiscal systems. We take taxation and fiscal systems not merely as institutional consolidations, but rather administrative practices and politics in the everyday realm. A focus on everyday will help us overcome an abstract conception of modernity and formulate a new ground for comparative history which will have room for historical differences within their shared context of global political economy of modern capitalism. Course Requirements: During the semester we are going to make common readings as the basis for our weekly discussions.

This course surveys major theoretical approaches in the field of state theory. Through a critical and qualified reading of literature on sociological theories of state, Marxist theories of state, Foucault and governmentality, cultural turn and its effects on political theory, and anthropological approaches to state theory, the course first aims to deepen students’ understanding of alternative theoretical approaches, and second, to help them formulate their own approach to studying the state and politics. The course revisits earlier theories of state and aims to interconnect them with recent debates in the study of state and politics. Informed with these theoretical insights, we will also reflect on political and epistemological problems in the academic literature on Turkey, its history and its present.

ATA 59D: Rethinking Ottoman Historiography: Where it has been and Where it is Going, Spring 2019

Course Description: During the last two or three decades generations of Ottoman scholars carried ... more Course Description: During the last two or three decades generations of Ottoman scholars carried out extensive research and published with almost a snowball effect numerous articles and books on differing themes and topics. Since the 1980s English language Ottoman historiography has always been in contact with historiographical currents of Europeanists; yet during this time span social theory and European historiography passed thorough major paradigmatic turns, which, without any time lag, influenced Ottoman historiography. To put in a very brief form, one major early shift is from structuralism to post-structuralism, that is from an epistemology that privileges "the social and economic" to one that totally overpowers capital as an abstract conception with a capacity to adjudicate social relations. Modernization paradigm, and its orientalist and eurocentrist premises, as the informing ideology of American hegemony and its developmentalist capitalism during the post-WWII era is seemingly over. The new social history approach of early 2000s has already produced plenty of works perhaps naively empowering divergent and under-vocalized social groups and moving far beyond overgeneralized conceptions of class and national identity. Following the collapse of post WWI political order in our region and the political chaos that followed in the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Middle East the belief in ethnic and national identities as analytical concepts resurfaced. Notwithstanding this broad restructuring of the social and political world that we live in, the students of Ottoman history are turning to new topics and paradigms such as history of intercommunal conflicts, population displacements, law and legality, public opinion, history of ideas, and history of environment and epidemics. Is there a new shift in Ottoman historiography? Perhaps a shift reflecting an attempt to move away from nation form, and even empire form, that is the so-called boundaries of political systems, a shift encouraging transregional/transnational and transcultural sensibilities, both in the political, social and environmental realms. This seminar aims to locate main trends in Ottoman historiography and provide a critical reading of recent scholarship. We will first read general articles aimed at providing an assessment of what's going on in Ottoman historiography. We will also pay attention to parallel debates among European historians related to shifts in interest and focus in the field. Next, we will focus on specific themes for in-depth reading and critical assessment. Throughout the semester we'll organize two or three public seminars (with invited colleagues as lecturer or discussant) on selected topics that we cover in the class.
