Digital Humanities and Ottoman Studies
Online Lecture Series 22.10.2020-28.01.2021,
organnized by Cristina Vertan and Yavuz Köse
This online lecture series was a preparation for the workshop entitled Digital Humanities and Ottoman Studies. State of the art, challenges, perspectives and prospective research. The lecture series brought together researchers in Ottoman studies and specialists in digital humanities to discuss about potentials and challenges of digital Ottoman research. In recent years there was an increasing number of initiatives and projects which use digital methods and techniques. Yet, given the area and period of time covered by the Ottoman Empire, the usage of digital methods faces particular challenges (multitude of scripts, languages, cultural identities, diverse historical periods) that the lecture series intends to address.
