Social history opens new perspectives into understanding the Ottoman modernization process by focusing on different social actors rather than seeing the state as the only agent of the process. This approach rejects considering ordinary people in the Ottoman Empire as passive recipients of top-down modernization policies or reactionary forces against modernization. An important aspect of understanding the role of social actors in the modernization process is to reflect on their consumption practices, as consumption has become the widespread social and economic behavior for social differentiation in modern times. By focusing on the changes in clothing and fashion; media and advertisement; use of public spaces; leisure activities and charity; and cultural consumption in the 19th century Ottoman Empire, this paper argues that consumption practices of different social groups in the Ottoman Empire explains how they locate themselves within the general social structure against other social groups and the state.

Sosyal tarih, devleti Osmanlı modernleşme sürecinin tek faili olarak görmek yerine farklı toplumsal aktörlere odaklanarak süreci anlamak için yeni bakış açıları sunar. Bu yaklaşım, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndaki sıradan insanları yukarıdan aşağıya modernleşme politikalarının pasif alıcıları veya modernleşmeye karşı reaksiyoner güçler olarak görmeyi reddeder. Tüketim modern zamanlarda sosyal farklılıkları ifade etmeye yönelik yaygın sosyal ve ekonomik davranış haline geldiğinden, modernleşme sürecinde sosyal aktörlerin rolünü anlamanın önemli bir yönü onların tüketim pratikleri üzerine düşünmektir. Bu çalışma, giyim ve modadaki; medya ve reklamlardaki, kamusal alanların kullanımındaki, boş zaman etkinlikleri ve hayır işlerindeki ve son olarak kültürel tüketimdeki değişimlere odaklanarak 19. yüzyıl Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda tüketim örüntülerini ele alan bu makale, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndaki farklı toplumsal grupların tüketim pratiklerinin, genel toplumsal yapı içinde, kendilerini diğer toplumsal gruplara ve devlete karşı nasıl konumlandırdıklarını açıkladığını savunmaktadır.
