About the workshop 3:
The third workshop of the series focuses on Phanar’s “Afterlife.” The 1821 Greek War of Independence and the subsequent emergence of a new Greek state mark a critical decline in the administrative role of the Phanariots vis-à-vis the Ottoman State.
This dramatic development deeply affected the material and social conditions of the neighborhood. The confiscation of Phanariot properties resulted in the destruction of the urban-bourgeois material culture and the dispersion of Phanariot material remains throughout former imperial territories, including Romania and the Modern Greek State. Subsequent tensions in the positioning of the Phanariots within the national narratives of Romania and Greece (as well as Turkey), have prevented the emergence of a coordinated conservationist approach to Phanariot material culture.
The urban-social transformation of Phanar paved the way for the reappropriation of neighborhood identity, revolving around the in-situ remnants of the Phanariot age. This, in turn, opened a new debate on the emerging modes of new Phanariot belongings, in and out of Istanbul.
Format of the workshops:
Speakers will offer 8-minute thought-provoking, open-ended presentations on their take on any of the themes listed in the overview document, in relation to the material and cultural history of the Phanariots, in accordance with their own intellectual focus. These presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion.
