Abstract

The idea of cosmopolitanism today is often an exercize in regressive nostalgia, harking back to a time when Muslims and Jews, or Greeks and Turks, lived together in Mediterranean cities, mostly of the Ottoman Empire. In this paper, I examine both this notion of Ottoman cosmopolitanism and, under a critical perspective, its ambiguous contemporary revivals.
