Histories, Spaces, and Heritages in Transition
2020-10-03
Histories, Spaces and Heritages at the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Greek State is a research project funded by the French School at Athens (École Française d’ Athènes) that explores the historical trajectories of urban space from the Ottoman Empire to the modern Greek State.
This project brings together methodological tools and analytical concepts from the fields of cultural history, archaeology, urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology, to bring forward the multi-sensorial dimensions social space in constrast to established conventional ocular-centric approaches in studying historic urban environments.
I am currently working with [Anna-Maria Sichani] (https://amsichani.github.io) as part of the Digital Humanities Unit of the project. Our main goal is to develop a conceptual and methodological model for structuring and processing cross-domain historical sources in various formats (pictures, sounds, maps, manuscript sources) and a mapping /visualization model for studying the sensory history of Ottoman urban spaces in transition.
