For Istanbul, the 20th century includes a major change: from an imperial capital, the city turns to a metropolis of a national State. In spite of a totally new political framework, its inhabitants continue, as they used to do since ever, to identify themselves through religion. A ‘Greek’ (Rum) is a Christian Orthodox whereas a ‘Turk’ can only be a Muslim. Where and in which circumstances, Istanbul’s Greeks and Turks ‘meet’, come together, during the republican era?

Méropi Anastassiadou is professor in modern history at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations orientales (INALCO), in Paris. Most of her works concern the urban societies of Ottoman and post-Ottoman Mediterranean. Her latest books include: (ed.), Patrimoines culturels et fait minoritaire en Turquie et dans les Balkans, Anatoli no. 6 (2015) Paris, CNRS éditions, 2015; Les Grecs d’Istanbul au XIXe siècle. Histoire socioculturelle de la communauté de Péra, Leiden-Boston, Brill, 2012.

This event is open to all and free to attend. No booking is required.
