>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.
