6–9 October 2021, Marburg
The DFG Priority Programme (SPP) “Transottomanica: Eastern European-Ottoman-Persian Mobility Dynamics” looks at social and (trans)cultural ties between the Muscovite Tsardom and/or Petersburg Empire, Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, Central Asia and Iran from the early modern period to the beginning of the twentieth century. After the completion of the first phase of the project (2017–2020) and the forthcoming publication of four thematic volumes (see: https://www.transottomanica.de/pub/vrseries), the second phase will look more closely at specific phenomena of transregional mobility within the region under study.
Practices of translation between languages and the pragmatic transfer of translated texts into actual usage have emerged as the topic central to the majority of the sixteen research projects in our network. To discuss this topic in greater detail, we invite interested scholars to the medieval town of Marburg to share their expertise with us at a conference in October, 2021.
