Migrant Biographies The Changing Faces of Migration from Iran to the Ottoman Empire and Turkey

Veranstalter: Elite-MA Kulturwissenschaften des Vorderen Orients

The Ottoman Empire and its major successor state Turkey, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has been the destination and transfer point for many migrant surges in the past few centuries. The geographical aspect encouraged migrants from various backgrounds and circumstances to make Turkey the focus of their journey. There has been a surge in academic interest in both “migration” and “biography studies”. The two fields of study compliment each other. Individuals transformed their memories into text and inspired others with their migration journey, illuminating the massive flow of migration. The biographical insights bear witness to the various waves, increasing in times of political unrest in neighbouring Iran. The event is hosted by the Elite Master’s Programme Cultural Studies of the Middle East / Elite- Masterstudiengang Kulturwissenschaften des Vorderen Orients, under the supervision of the Visiting Prof. Dr. Abdulhamit Kırmızı.
