This project brings together methodological tools and analytical concepts from the fields of cultural history, archaeology, urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology, a multidisciplinary model that interacts with the current trends in the broader field of digital humanities both on a local and international level.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the perception of social space though the senses of hearing, smelling, touch and particularly through their interrelation contrasts the conventional ocular-centric approaches towards the histories of Ottoman urban space, thus contributing to the broadening of historical perception. The implementation of this approach serves the need for a competent analytical tool to tackle the challenges that the study of transition as a dynamic political and social process poses to researchers.<\/p>\n
Focusing on particular case studies (such as the\u00a0Vouleftiko<\/em>, the Ottoman mosque transformed to the first Greek Parliament building, Nafplion;\u00a0the Acropolis Mosque and Ottoman fortress<\/em>, Athens), we constitute the archives<\/em> of Ottoman urban spatial units based on diverse primary material (documents, images, archaeological findings etc.) that document the process of transition. The individual components of these archives<\/em> are read on an intersensorial<\/em> manner, establishing those links among them that foreground the field of everyday experience of the subjects of transition. Once the sensorial archives<\/em> of Ottoman monuments are restored, they will then contribute to the public discussion on their current state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This project brings together methodological tools and analytical concepts from the fields of cultural history, archaeology, urban studies, ethnomusicology and anthropology, a multidisciplinary model that interacts with the current trends in the broader field of digital humanities both on a … <\/p>\n
