題目：The Ottoman Counterrevolution: The Patriarchate of Constantinople and Governance in Ottoman Europe, 1768–1828

司会：秋葉淳（東洋文化研究所）

講演要旨：
This presentation introduces a book-in-progress that rethinks revolution and counterrevolution in the Ottoman Empire between the Ottoman–Russian War of 1768–1774 and the Greek Revolution of 1821. It argues that revolutionary possibilities in Ottoman Europe emerged not only from the circulation of new ideas and foreign intervention, but from long-standing local–imperial entanglements that bound Orthodox Christian elites, Ottoman officials, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate into shared structures of governance. Rather than treating Orthodox populations as external to Ottoman political history, the presentation places them at the center of an Ottoman Age of Revolutions, tracing how local notables and clergymen articulated claims of liberty, fatherland, and rights within an imperial idiom. It further shows that Ottoman counterrevolution took shape through an evolving alliance between the Sublime Porte and the Patriarchate of Constantinople, aimed at managing local powerholders, containing revolutionary rhetoric, and preserving imperial order.
