For 99 years, an overt system of “elites” kept the peace in Europe — from 1815 to 1914. The collapse of this so-called “Congress System” (named for the infamous “Congress of Vienna” in 1814) — with the breakout of the Crimean War in 1914 between Russia, the Ottoman Empire, France and Britain — led inexorably to World War I, in 1917 … and then to an even more catastrophic World War II, in 1939. Did this tragic collapse of “transnational control of world affairs” in the last century argue for such a “behind-the-scenes international system of controls on nations” … or against? My guest tonight, historian Dr. Richard Spence, will attempt to answer this increasingly relevant 21st Century question — against the backdrop of President Recep Erdogan’s apparent re-election tonight in Turkey, in his drive to reconstitute “a 21st Century Ottoman Empire,” and President Donald Trump’s apparent agreement with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, that a new [...]
What were Ottomans talking about when they talked about science? In posing and answering that question (spoiler: they were talking about people), M. Alper Yalcinkaya‘s new book Learned Patriots: Debating Science, State, and Society in the 19th-Century Ottoman Empire (University of Chicago Press, 2015) introduces the history of science as discussed and debated by nineteenth-century Turkish-speaking Muslim Ottomans in Istanbul. The book compellingly argues that these discussions and debates were not so much about the nature of science than the characteristics of the “man of science” and his relationship to Ottoman identity. In the course of Yalçinkaya's study, readers also learn about the economic and political transformations of nineteenth century Ottoman society, the changes wrought by the gradual integration of the Ottoman Empire into the world capitalist system, and the consequences of those changes for the Ottoman state and its relationship to education and the press. This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in the entangled histories of science and modernity, and the ways that particular forms of identity and subjectivity emerged from inscriptions of that entanglement. I especially recommend it to readers paying special attention to the histories of the press, language, and the state as they are bound up with nineteenth century science and technology.
