$

118.     Diplomas and Diplomacy

During the nineteenth century, the increasing professionalization of medical practice led to the emergence of new institutions and laws governing legitimate use of medical knowledge. In the Ottoman Empire, the arrival of European medical schools and establishments led to tensions regarding the sovereignty of the empire over the medical realm in its own domains. This episode with Philippe Bourmaud follows the debates and conflicts over the establishment of the French medical school of Saint-Joseph in Beirut during the late Ottoman period and their meaning for own understanding of imperialism and colonialism in the Ottoman world.

119.     Social History of WWI


While World War I was the result of a political conflict, it touched the lives of nearly every segment of Ottoman society in often tragic ways. Yet, the lived experience of Ottoman citizens on the home front is often an ignored aspect of the war's historiography. In this episode, Yiğit Akın offers a social history perspective on the conflict, focusing on basic questions like food, labor, and resources as they related to the war and giving particular attention to the experience of women and internally displaced peoples.

120.    Osmanlı'da Şehir Turizmi


Osmanlı'nın erken dönemlerinden beri önemli ticaret yolları üzerinde bulunan Bursa, kimi tarihçilere göre imparatorluk sınırları içinde kapitalist ilişkilere erken giren Osmanlı şehirlerinden biridir. On dokuzuncu yüzyıla gelindiğinde Bursa'da sanayileşme yönünde değişmeye başlayan üretim ilişkileri ve imparatorluğu boydan boya sarmaya başlayan Batılılaşma etkisi Bursa'da, Osmanlı'nın ticari ilişkileri yoğun diğer pek çok kentinde olduğu gibi, tüketim alışkanlıklarının da yavaş yavaş değişmeye başlamasına yol açtı. Bu podcastimizde İsmail Yaşayanlar "Osmanlı Dönemi Bursa Otelleri"çalışmasıyla 19. yüzyıl Bursa'sında gözlemlenebildiği şekliyle, imparatorluğun kimi kentlerinde değişen ve gelişen bu yeni tüketim alışkanlıklarının "turizm" boyutuna dikkat çekiyor.

Source: B. Heger / August 2007
Justifiable moral outrage over the recent use of chemical weapons in Syria has brought the US government to the brink of military intervention in a now over two-year-old conflict as debates surrounding the wisdom of such a measure fill the American and global media. In this brief moment of humanitarian concern for Syria, we offer a sometimes forgotten story of another recent humanitarian crisis in the country, the ongoing saga of Iraqi refugees from the 2003 Iraq invasion, and trace its connections with the present.

They were getting death threats, and he was their only hope. Only 26 and living in his aunt's basement, he had no idea what to do. How Kirk kind of succeeded spectacularly and failed spectacularly at the same time." Click here to listen

L'histoire occultée des Palestiniens
(1947-1953)
by Sandrine
Mansour-Mérien (click for amazon)
It is an unfortunate legacy of colonialism that to write the history of the Middle East, historians must inevitably utilize archives and libraries in Europe and the United States. However, the location of these archives and the biases of the governments that produced their records do not necessarily undermine the historian's attempt to find the voices of local actors. In this episode, Sandrine Mansour-Mérien, a researcher with over ten years of experience at the French Diplomatic Archives in Nantes, explains how French archives can be used by Middle East historians and discusses some of her own work on the history of Palestine in writing her recent publication L'histoire occultée des Palestiniens (1947-1953).
