Seminar considers ?difference? and ?sameness? as they have been
conceived, experienced, and regulated by peoples of the Middle East,
with a focus on the 19th and 20th centuries. First half discusses the
Ottoman Empire. Explores how this multiethnic, polyglot empire
survived for several relatively peaceful centuries and what happened
when its formula for existence was challenged by politics based on
mono-ethnic states. Second half focuses on post-Ottoman nation-states,
such as Turkey and Egypt, and Western-mandated Arab states, such as
Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq. Concludes with a case analysis of
Israel.<br>
