Life on the Ottoman Border: Essays in Honour of Nenad Moačanin
U petak, 4. ožujka 2022. u Vijećnici Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu predstavljen je zbornik radova posvećen profesoru Nenadu Moačaninu “Life on the Ottoman Border: Essays in Honour of Nenad Moačanin” (ur. Vjeran Kursar, FF Press, Zagreb 2022), koji je u cijelosti dostupan u otvorenom pristupu.
“The study of borders, frontiers, and borderlands has gained momentum after 1989, and the current refugee crisis has been redefining the borders of Europe and the idea of Europe itself. This volume, a collection of essays studying the Ottoman borders in Europe, and elsewhere, from various aspects, is a welcome contribution to the Ottomanist historiography, which, conventionally has been focusing on the so-called heartlands of the Empire, and much through ‘state-centered’ approaches. The views from the border provinces, offered by many good specialists in this volume, can offer new insights in Ottoman history and historiography. At the same time, the volume contributes also to the study of the Western Balkans in particular, making extensive uses of unpublished sources, and bibliography.” – Dr. Elias Kolovos, University of Crete
Life on the Ottoman Border: Essays in Honour of Nenad Moačanin
Edited by Vjeran Kursar
The articles written by friends, colleagues, former students, and one current doctoral student collected in this celebratory volume dedicated to the doyen of Ottoman studies in Croatia, Professor Nenad Moačanin, are divided into three main chapters entitled “Ottoman Bosnia, Turkish Croatia, and Turkey in Europe,” “Distant Borders and Regions,” and “Glimpses Beyond the Ottoman Border: Habsburg Croatia and the Republic of Dubrovnik.”
The first section consists of the articles predominantly dedicated to the main fields of interests of Nenad Moačanin, namely social and economic history of the Ottoman Empire, with special focus on Ottoman Bosnia, the Balkans and Central Europe, as well as the Ottoman borderland in Croatia.
The second section entitled “Distant Borders and Regions” brings three articles which are geographically remote from the Western Balkans and Central Europe, such as Crimea, Syria, and Palestine, but nevertheless fit well into the conception of the volume by offering a possibility for comparison of distant regions.
The third section “Glimpses Beyond the Ottoman Border: Habsburg Croatia and the Republic of Dubrovnik” contains five articles which provide an important insight into the situation on “the other side.”
The volume also includes a biographical overview of Professor Moačanin’s scientific and educational career at the beginning, and the bibliography at the end of the volume.
