SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop. Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects: Mobility\, Exclusion\, and (Real/Discursive) Borders
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the making and unmaking of Ottoman imperial subjecthood\, and its legacy in the post-Ottoman states. It investigates the bureaucratic and legal reforms that enabled to define the Ottoman membership and the limits of belonging. Although the term “imperial citizenship” gained popularity in recent decades\, there are doubts about whether citizenship is suitable for the age of empires\, since imperial subjecthood was based on a rule of difference and exclusion rather than equality. By contextualizing the Ottoman nationality regime within other colonial empires of the late nineteenth century\, the workshop aims to demonstrate how colonial perceptions of governability and malleability informed the question of becoming Ottoman. The late Ottoman governments\, especially under Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress perceived Ottoman nationality as a status that could be granted or revoked based on the perceived loyalty or sedition of various ethnoreligious communities.\n   \n   The workshop integrates the themes of mobility and nationality\, exploring how the management of nationality was intertwined with various forms of mobility\, such as non-Muslim emigration\, Muslim immigration\, pilgrimage\, exile\, and punitive displacement. The Ottoman state's differential treatment of the migrations of diverse ethnoreligious groups created a distinction among its subjects—some enjoyed the freedom to move with state permission\, while others faced forced relocation or restrictions on their mobility. This workshop convenes scholars who investigate how various ethnoreligious communities experienced Ottoman subjecthood across different regions\, including Istanbul\, the Ottoman East\, the Gulf\, Russian borderlands\, and the Balkans. The primary goal is to explore diverse perspectives on subjecthood\, nationality\, and citizenship\, and to assess the inclusivity or exclusivity of Ottoman nationality laws. The workshop aims to illuminate how the bureaucratic methods used to define Ottoman membership were integral to the broader governance strategies employed in the empire's final years.\n   \nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n\n9.45-10.00 Welcome & Opening Remarks\nGottfried Hagen & Hazal Özdemir\n\n10.00-11.15 Keynote: Jessica Marglin\, University of Southern California\nReligion and Legal Belonging in the Ottoman Empire: Lessons from the History of Extraterritoriality in the 18th and 19th Centuries\n\n11.15-11.30 Break\n\n11.30-1.30 - 1st panel: Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects\nDiscussant: Devi Mays (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Julia Phillips Cohen (Vanderbilt University)\n\n• Berke Torunoğlu\, Bilkent University\nCalculated Contradictions: Ottoman-Russian Cooperation on Defining Imperial Subjecthood\, 1858–1864\n\n• Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular\, Rutgers University\nTransimperial Subjects and Interimperial Competition in Habsburg Ottoman Bosnia Herzegovina\n\n• Camile Cole\, Illinois State University\nWhat Did it Mean to be Ottoman in the Gulf\, c. 1900?\n\n• Marie Bossaert\, Université Clermont Auvergne\nThe Contours of Italianity: Italian Citizenship in the Late Ottoman Empire\n\n\n1.30-2.30 Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2.30 – 4.15 - 2nd panel: Denationalization from Imperial Decree to Practice\nDiscussant: Melanie Tanielian (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan)\n\n• Hazal Özdemir\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nThe Price of Ottoman Nationality: How to Renounce Your Subjecthood at the Turn of the Twentieth Century?\n\n• Emmanuel Szurek\, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\nEthnic Cleansing via Labor Regulation?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n
