| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation is a study of the Ottoman imperial order during the mid-nineteenth century, known as the age of reforms, the Tanzimat. Through the biographies of local Armenian notables, it examines societal change in the Armenian community of the city of Erzurum (Karin in Armenian), the capital city of an eponymous province on the Ottoman Empire’s borders with the Russian and Qajar Empires. The dissertation focuses on the ways in which the construction of the modern Ottoman state and societal changes in the Armenian Community (millet) were enmeshed in this borderland city. It approaches the histories of local Armenian communities as integral to and connected with the empire’s broader history. The dissertation also tackles the validity of the dichotomies “center-periphery,” “Muslim-non-Muslim” and “modern-traditional,” which are employed in the scholarship to understand the empire’s nineteenth-century transformation.
