- Description
- The subject of this chapter is the late Ottoman and post-Ottoman autobiography and memoir literature, in which an ego is explicitly articulated out of Ottoman references. This literature is extensive, and there is no basic overview or systematic passage through it. My essay articulates some waypoints to their understanding. The Ottoman seems to go hand in hand with a general boom in autobiographical practice in the late Tsarist Empire and the Habsburg Empire comparatively since 1815. The dormant political soil of the Old World of Europe, Russia and the Ottoman world was irrevocably set in motion on several levels in the 1870s. Wide "discomfort" permeated, with the contemporary Sigmund Freud spoken, their "culture", for which the booming autobiographical texts can be read as testimonies. The acute Ottoman crisis of the 1870s, the Berlin Congress with its newly ethnoreligious founded post-Ottoman Balkan states and the newly named European phenomenon of anti-Semitism appear as Breakthroughs before the boom. This began in the Ottoman world, however, only a little later than in the two neighbouring multi-ethnic empires.
