The question of “who is an Ottoman” has already yielded interesting
answers, but they principally seem to reflect the multifaceted nature of the Ottoman
Empire itself and therefore do not bring us much closer to an understanding of the
abstract concept of Ottoman identity. While trying not to be essentialist, this article
aims to establish some concrete criteria for our definition of homo ottomanicus. The
anatomization of one individual case suggests that Ottoman identity was the product
of a societal grid composed of a multitude of boundaries, only the fiscal and legal
ones of which tended to be rigid and relatively objectifiable.

Homo Ottomanicus’u Yeniden Canlandırmak: Osmanlı Kimliğinin Sabitleri ve Değişkenleri

“Osmanlı kimdir” sorusuna hâlihazırda birçok ilginç cevap verilmiş olsa da,
söz konusu cevaplar, çoğunlukla Osmanlı toplumunun renkli doğasını yansıtmakla
yetinmekte ve dolayısıyla aslında soyut bir kavram olan Osmanlı kimliği mefhumunu
anlamamızı zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu makalede özcü yaklaşımlardan sakınılarak homo
ottomanicus’u elle tutulur bir şekilde tanımlayabilmemize yarayacak somut kıstaslar
tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Öncelikle Osmanlı toplumu, birbirinden çeşitli sınırlarla
ayrılmış fertlerin ayrı ayrı bir öğesini teşkil ettiği bir matris gibi düşünülmüştür.
Daha sonra, seçilmiş bir vakanın teşrih edilmesinden yola çıkılarak, imparatorluk
tebaasından herhangi bir ferdin kimliğinin, söz konusu matriste işgal ettiği yere göre
şekillendiği önerilmiştir. Bunun yanında, söz konusu sınırlardan sadece mali ve hukuki olanların daha katı ve nispeten daha fazla somutlaştırılabildiği önerilmektedir.
