Urban Studies and the Concept of Microcosm: Theoretical Positioning and Research Perspectives

Urban Studies and the Concept of Microcosm: Theoretical Positioning and Research Perspectives

[SHS:HIST] Humanities and Social Sciences/History

Microcosm

Ottoman

My intent is to try and expose the reasons why I think that the concept of microcosm is pertinent for research, and specifically for the kind of research we are doing in this group. I'll expose first what I consider the theoretical basis of the concept, and then I'll try to illustrate its possible application and its pertinence, in presenting my own research perspectives on Ottoman towns.
