Abstract
This edited volume is a collection of 14 essays, all but two penned by young academicians with a fresh look and innovative approach to Ottoman history. It grew out of a series of workshops in Heidelberg, Princeton, Istanbul and Cambridge as well as a three-day international conference in Heidelberg, all part of a research project entitled “Dynamic Asymmetries in Transcultural Flows at the Intersection of Asia and Europe: The Case of the Early Modern Ottoman Empire” under the umbrella of Heidelberg University’s Cluster of Excellence “Asian and Europe in a Global Context”. The main paradigm of the book is the wellconnectedness of the Ottoman Empire, i.e., “the interconnectedness of various regions, groups, and ideas, across several continents and centuries.” Under the influence of new methodological approaches such as connected history, entangled history, histoire croisée and transcultural history, this work openly criticizes the Eurocentric historiography that takes Europe as the standard field and relegates non-European fields to mere “area studies.”
