Parallelotopia
This article engages with the conversations taking place in the photographic space between then and now, memory and photography, and with the symbiosis and ethnic violence between different ethnic communities in the ex-Ottoman Empire.

The essay aims to create parallelot…
Ottoman transcultural memories
This introduction lays out the context and aims for the special issue’s focus on Ottoman transcultural memories. We explain the pertinence of transcultural memories for the Ottoman Empire, and we discuss contemporary politicizations of Ottoman nostalgia, or neo-Ottomanism.

The visual and sensorial language of the city of Nicosia is examined in detail in relation to its politography, concentrating on issues of …
