Material Objects, Materiality, and Re-Materializing Armenian Studies
The themed issue originated from the idea that material objects foster conversations across different disciplines, epochs, geographical and paradigmatic terrains, and among various agents and interlocutors. In this introduction we present some of our ideas and aspirations on what it may mean to concentrate on material objects within Armenian Studies and why we contend that it may be productive and inspirational for the field. To this end, we brin…

Outcasting Armenians: Tanzimat of the Provinces
Orders and Disorders of Marriage, Church, and Empire in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Armenia
The Ottoman state and the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople during the mid-19th-century Tanzimat reform era relied on ethno-confessional and gendered differences, new administrative organization, and coercive institutions like the police to centralize and expand their power. Yet Armenian men and women used those same tools of power to seek justice in ways that created instances of disorder for their families, local community, the church, an…
Reflecting on Armenians in Ottoman Historiography
The Workshop for Armenian/Turkish Scholarship (WATS) convened its first meeting at the University of Chicago in March 2000. Since then, the historical literature on not only the Armenian Genocide, but also Ottoman Armenians more generally, has grown ever more sophisticated. This essay takes stock of the growing visibility of Armenians in Ottoman historiography over the last two decades, and other developments. In particular, it asks why historica…
The Ottoman East in the Nineteenth Century: Societies, Identities and Politics
The Ottoman East what is also called Western Armenia, Northern Kurdistan or Eastern Anatolia compared to other peripheries of the Ottoman Empire, has received very little attention in Ottoman historiography. So-called taboo subjects such as the fate of Ottoman Armenians and the Kurdish Question during the latter years of the Ottoman Empire have contributed to this dearth of analysis. By integrating the Armenian and Kurdish elements into the study…
