Modern scholarship has not given Edirne the attention it deserves
regarding its significance as one of the capitals of the Ottoman
Empire. This edited volume offers a reinterpretation of Edirne's
history from Early Ottoman times to recent periods of the Turkish
Republic. Presently, disconnections and discontinuities introduced
by the transition from empire to nation state still characterize
the image of the city and the historiography about it. In contrast,
this volume examines how the city engages in the forming,
deflecting and creative appropriation of its heritage, a process
that has turned Edirne into a UNESCO heritage hotspot. A closer
historical analysis demonstrates the dissonances and contradictions
that these different interpretations and uses of heritage produce.
From the beginning, Edirne was shaped by its connectivity and
relationality to other places, above all to Istanbul. This
perspective is employed at many different levels, e.g., with regard
to its population, institutions, architecture, infrastructures and
popular culture, but also regarding the imaginations Edirne
triggered. In sum, this multi-disciplinary volume boosts urban
history beyond Istanbul and offers new insight into Ottoman and
Turkish connectivities from the vantage point of certain key
moments of Edirne's history.
