| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation considers how imperial subjects and citizens made claims to political belonging in the period prior to the consolidation of nationalism as an ideology. Focusing on French and Ottoman texts produced between 1718 and 1905 that narrate movements across geographic, political, and cultural borders, my study explores shifting dynamics of political identification and belonging that defy easy geopolitical narratives, either of long-standing confrontation between “East” and “West” or of cosmopolitan coexistence in “contact zones”. I argue that the relational and affective sensibility that characterizes belonging to a political community was cultivated and sustained through cross-cultural exchange: ideas and ideals of religion, geography, ethnicity, and most insistently, masculinity, femininity, and sexuality provided the terms of intelligibility through which imperial belonging was articulated, and imperial governance was defended and contested. This study contributes to the field of comparative political theory by bringing texts from the Ottoman Empire to the forefront of debates about political membership, identity, and belonging. Likewise, the theoretical framework I develop to navigate the historical and philosophical entanglements between Europe and the Middle East, Christianity and Islam, and Orient and Occident in the modern period challenges the primacy of Orientalism in accounting for the political and cultural construction of difference.
