Reclaiming Byzantium: Russia, Turkey and the Archaeological Claim to the Middle East in the 19th Century
Autor Pinar Üreen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 feb 2020
This then is the history of that institute, and the history of Russia's efforts to reclaim its Middle East - events since in the Crimea, Syria and Georgia are all, to some extent, wrapped up in this historical framework. Ure looks at the founding of the Russian Archaeological Institute, its aims, and its place in the 'digging-race' which characterised the late Imperial phase of modern history. Above all, she shows how the practise of history has been used as a political tool, a form of "soft power".

Pinar
Üre
examines
how
both
imperial
Russia
and
the
Ottoman
empire
approached
the
archaeological
past,
in
an
age
of
imperial
competition
and
nationalist
mobilization.
This
book
is
a
model
of
entangled
history,
examining
not
only
the
relationship
between
the
Russian
and
Ottoman
empires
over
the
Byzantine
and
Slavic
past
in
Ottoman
territories,
but
equally
how
both
states
and
their
scholarly
communities
had
also
to
confront,
on
the
one
hand,
the
challenge
of
Western
empires
and
knowledge
projects
(the
British
and
French
empires
and
their
archaeological
endeavors)-but
also
the
growing
claims
of
nationalizing
states
in
the
Balkans:
Serbia,
Bulgaria,
and
Greece.
It
is
a
nuanced
study
of
the
relationships
between
power
and
knowledge,
one
conducted
on
several
planes:
inter-imperial
competition;
the
relationship
between
the
Russians
and
the
Ottomans;
and
finally
the
role
of
emerging
national
states.
Üre's
ability
to
tell
this
story
from
both
the
Russian
and
the
Ottoman
perspective
provides
unexpected
and
important
insights
into
how
both
states
sought
to
mobilize
the
past
for
political
and
scholarly
ends-and
how
both
had
to
contend
with
unexpected
and
unwelcome
challenges.
This
well-written,
well-argued
book
will
be
of
interest
to
scholars
of
both
late
imperial
Russia
and
the
Ottoman
empire,
people
interested
in
the
political
roles
archaeology
played
in
the
late
nineteenth
and
early
twentieth
century,
and
anyone
interested
in
the
interplay
of
power
and
knowledge.
