Postempire
The renaissance of empire/imperialism as a category within political and scholarly discourse has been accompanied by an efflorescence of collective memories of bygone empires. In this essay, I propose a broad, supple model for postimperial studies based on the relationship between legacies and collective memories of empires. After sketching recent debates in postimperial scholarship, I offer a dialectical theory of the relationship between collec…
On Time and Interreligious Materiality - A Postcard from Slavonia
At first glance, the sleepy Slavonian town of Đakovo in eastern Croatia is not an obvious context in which to query the dilemmas of interreligious interactions. A mammoth nineteenth century church
Introduction
In this introduction to our special collection, we discuss the theoretical forebears that inform our guiding concept of "material temporalities" with an eye to the collection's impact on contemporary debates in anthropology and beyond. To begin, we situate "material temporalities" in relation to the temporal and material turns that have reoriented anthropology in recent years. In particular, we emphasize the dual property of material temporalitie…
Peripheral Visions of Empire
The dead wait
This essay examines the heterotopic and heterochronic material afterlives of cemeteries through a comparative focus on two cities of the dead: Zagreb's Mirogoj Cemetery, which was established during the late 19th century, and Thessaloniki's Zeitenlik World War I Military Cemetery, which entombs Allied victims from the Salonika Front. My principal aim is to highlight the contrasts and contradictions between nationalized collective memories and uns…
Introduction
In this introduction to our edited volume, Material Afterlives, we specify the interventions and arguments of our collection as a whole. To begin, we reflect on the recent proliferation of "afterlives" as a concept and metaphor within the social sciences and humanities, a development that we describe as the "new hauntology." As we argue, this new hauntology favors the subjective rather than objective aspects of afterlives and consequently neglect…
J. Andrew Bush, Between Muslims
Polished Memories, Liquid Histories
On an embankment in the Istanbul neighborhood Fener-Balat, a striking edifice looms over the waters of the Golden Horn: Sveti Stefan Church, a cast-iron house of worship that constitutes the most visible legacy of Ottoman Istanbul's Bulgarian Orthodox community. The warm welcome that one is likely to receive at the visitor's cubicle near the entrance to the church contrasts sharply with its solemn architectural atmosphere. Since the completion of…
Introduction
In this introduction to our edited section, "Istanbul through the Looking Glass," I draw on Orhan Pamuk's works—in particular The Black Book —to develop a multi-perspectival approach to Istanbul's heterogeneous past and the contemporary collective memories that frame this past. First, I forward a critique of homogenizing narratives of Istanbul, in particular neo-Ottoman images of the city. For shorthand, I call these images "silhouettes." Next, b…
Charles D. Sabatos. Frontier Orientalism and the Turkish Image in Central European Literature
The Ban’s mana
How might scholars of public memory approach the protean relationship among imperial legacies, nationalized collective memories and urban space from an ‘off-center’ perspective? In this essay, I pursue this question in relation to a monument whose political biography traverses, and troubles, the distinction between imperial and national times, sentiments, and polities. The statue in question is that of Ban Josip Jelačić, a nineteenth Century figu…
Thecivil society effect revisited
In this essay, I reconsider the politics of contemporary philanthropy by navigating between two dominant ideological perspectives on civil society: depoliticization and demonization. I do so with reference to the recent tribulations of three famous magnate-philanthropists, Osman Kavala, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and George Soros. By revisiting my concept of the “civil society effect” – the romanticizing of civil society as a domain free from instrume…
On Institutional Pluralization and the Political Genealogies of Post-Yugoslav Islam
Over recent decades, Islamic institutions and Muslim communities in the successor nation-states of former Yugoslavia have taken shape against a variegated political and historical topography. In this article, we examine the discourses and politics surrounding Islamic institutions in four post-Yugoslav nation-states: Kosovo, Macedonia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Our analysis moves in two directions. On the one hand, we illuminate the historical legaci…
Charity's dilemmas
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore charitable giving and receiving as a site of social class interaction in Croatia today, particularly in relation to the country's socialist past and capitalist present. Design/methodology/approach Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in three charity organisations in Croatia. The reported material is based on participant observation, interviews and informal conversations with organisation members, a…
Sanitizing Szigetvár
In this essay, I examine an early modern battle between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, the Siege of Szigetvár, and its protagonists, Nikola Šubić Zrinski and Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, as sites of memory in Hungary, Croatia, and Turkey. In relation to recent commemorations of the Siege, I focus on how sanctioned memories of Szigetvár have been sanitized for national(ist) ends, evacuating fraught historical and political questions related…
Introduction
In pursuit of a novel perspective on legacies of empire in the present, this introduction addresses prominent debates related to post-imperialism, collective memory, and the construction of historical knowledge, while also reviewing recent trends in post-Habsburg and post-Ottoman studies. First, I examine the insights and limitations of 'memory studies,' ultimately proposing a more capacious model of post-imperial 'ambivalence.' I then recapitula…
On British Islam
Geographies of Revival and Erasure
In this article, I draw on Pierre Nora's concept of "sites of memory" to explore the material textures and political effects of neo-Ottomanism in three locations: Miniatürk, a theme park in Istanbul that features scale replicas of many prominent Ottoman structures; Thessaloniki's New Mosque, a former place of worship for the syncretic religious community of the dönme; and the Tomb of Gül Baba, a 16th-century Sufi dervish and saint, in Budapest. M…
‘Everyday I’m Çapulling!’. Global Flows and Local Frictions of Gezi
Multiple Secularities beyond the West
Labours of Inter-religious Tolerance
Based on ethnographic research in Croatia and Turkey, this article explores two projects of inter-religious tolerance in relation to broader logics of cultural and spatial intimacy. In the Croatian case, the focus is on the public discourse surrounding Rijeka's Nova Džamija [New Mosque] which pivoted on a perception of the shared victimization of Catholic Croats and Muslim Bosnians at the hands of Serbs during the wars of the 1990s. For Turkey, w…
Is Hizmet Liberal?” Mediations and Disciplines of Islam and Liberalism among Gülen Organizations in Istanbul
Is Hizmet liberal? The question is intractable both for Hizmet actors and for the Turkish public sphere more broadly. In this essay, I marshal ethnographic research carried out over several years among Hizmet institutions in Istanbul to shed light on the politics of this question. I examine several characteristic Hizmet institutions in order to argue that Hizmet forges a synthesis between Islamic and liberal discourses and practices. This synthes…

Spatial politics in Istanbul
The Enduring Legacy of the Habsburg Islam Policy
Confessional pluralism and the civil society effect
Practices and ideals of confessional pluralism and liberal interpretations of Islam have achieved new prominence in Turkish civil society in recent years. In this article, I marshal fieldwork conducted among a variety of Turkish Islamic civil society institutions to argue that confessional pluralism and liberal Islam have reoriented practices of politics and secularism in Turkey. As I demonstrate, liberal discourse about religious difference emer…
