دانلود کتاب Institution Building and Research under Foreign Domination Europe and the Black Sea Region (early 19th – early 20th centuries)

This volume represents the second collective product of the Horizon 2020 Research Project on Knowledge Exchange and Academic Cultures in the Humanities. Europe and the Black Sea Region. The contributions included herein were initially presented and discussed at a two-day conference held in 2018 at the International Hellenic University of Thessaloniki, and updated for the purposes of this publication. In 2018, Dominik Gutmeyr and Karl Kaser published a first volume on Europe and the Black Sea Region. A History of Early Knowledge Exchange (1750-1850). The contents of that first volume discussed the initial stages of the European “expedition” in the Black Sea, a period which may be largely characterized by superficial perceptions of this area not yet considered part of Europe.
The authors of this volume focus on the second phase of the European intervention in the Black Sea Region (BSR), mainly during the 19th century, when the exchange of knowledge between the East and the West became more intense as a result of the opposing political interests of the Great Powers in their effort to penetrate the Ottoman Empire. This was the era of the Eastern Question, the gradual decline of the Ottoman Empire and the transformation of the Black Sea from a “Turkish lake” to an international trade area.
The authors deal with the two dominant Empires around the Black Sea during the “era of Modernity”, the Ottoman and the Russian. The history of both Empires highlights aspects of the process of institution building, especially in the fields of religion and education, at a period when ethnic groups and minorities strove for national emancipation.
