Les études ottomanes en Grèce : un regard réflexif

Abstract

Greek Ottoman studies, after a long period struggling under the shadow of nationalism and of the overwhelming Neohellenic studies, are by now mature enough to allow us an effort for reflexivity. Three Ottomanists trained in the 1990s and having followed different paths of specialization in economic, social and cultural history, Eleni Gara, Phokion Kotzageorgis and Marinos Sariyannis, offer their answers to some questions pertaining to the state-of‑the‑art and the perspectives of the field: have Greek Ottomanists developed a particular and distinct school, or have they simply followed the pace of historiography elsewhere? What have they brought to the field of Ottoman studies that can be termed a particular contribution, and, on the other hand, what insights have they offered for Greek history? And what could be a vision for the Greek Ottomanists for the future?
