The goal is to understand how visual practices intersect with power, communication, and documentation. Collectively, participants ask how photography became a tool for denaturalization and the persecution of undesirable and marginalized subjects in imperial settings, such as minorities, revolutionaries, and convicts in the Ottoman and Qajar empires. How did state This workshop explores the multiple deployments of photography in the early twentieth-century global Middle East. We will discuss how visual practices intersect with power, communication, and documentation. Collectively, participants ask how photography became a tool for denaturalization and the persecution of undesirable and marginalized subjects, whether minorities, revolutionaries, and convicts in the Ottoman and Qajar empires. How did state surveillance of mobility produce knowledge about imperial subjects?\n\nParticipants will examine a diverse range of photographic genres, from family records to convict photographs, and studio portraits to complicate photography\u2019s role in regulating class and gender dynamics as well as criminality across the region.\n\nQuestions of ownership and the ethical status of imperial archives that preserve photographs of marginalized or indigenous communities are critical to our discussions of power. How can we responsibly reconstruct the pasts of marginalized, displaced, and persecuted individuals by the Ottoman or Qajar state using photographs taken by the very same state? In what ways did photographs serve as instruments of state bureaucracy and as a form of resistance to it? In other words, how do blurred boundaries between photographic genres offer subjects opportunities to assert their identity and recreate personal or collective memories?\n\nWorkshop Program\n\n9:30 - 9:45 am: Morning Refreshments\n\n9:45-10 am: Welcome & Opening Remarks\nKathryn Babayan, Director of the Center for Armenian Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor\nHazal \u00d6zdemir, Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow of Armenian History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor\n\n10:00 \u2013 11:15 am: Keynote Lecture\n\u201cFrom Euphoria to Rigor: Challenges in the History of Photography in the Ottoman Empire\u201d\nEdhem Eldem, Columbia University\n\n11:15 - 11:30 am: Coffee Break\n\n11:30 am - 1:00 pm: Panel 1: Chasing Unusual Photographic Ventures\n\u201cIn Living Color: Hand-painted Photographs, Ottoman Costumes, and Gendered Labor\u201d\n- Erin Hyde Nolan, Harvard University\n\n\u201cMigration Photography as an In-between Genre and Disobedient Photographers\u201d\n- Hazal \u00d6zdemir, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor\n\nRespondent: Joseph Ho, University of Michigan\n\n1:00 - 2:00 pm: Lunch\n\n2:00 \u2013 3:30 pm: Panel 2: Documenting Atrocity and Survival\nThe \u2018Soulless Machine\u2019 and Its Image Output: Photographs of Terror and the End of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution\n- Mira Xenia Schwerda, Duke University\n\n\u201cUnidentified as a Genre: The Archival Afterlives of Photographs at the Biblioth\u00e8que Nubar\u201d\n- \u0130dil \u00c7etin, University of Oslo\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan, University of Michigan\n\n3:30 \u2013 4:00 pm: Coffee Break\n\n4:00 \u2013 5:00 pm: Roundtable Discussion\n- Arto Vaun, Project Save Photograph Archive\n\nCosponsor:\nNational Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n \nOnline Access:\n Webinar ID: 932 5370 8805\n https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/93253708805\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.
