Show moreIn the second half of the nineteenth century, several million Muslims migrated from the Caucasus, Crimea, and Balkans into the Ottoman Empire. During the same era, the empire launched a series of economic, administrative, legal, and political reforms intended to increase the power of the central government. The reform era altered the relationship between state and subject, as state institutions became more visible in the population’s everyday lives. Though scholars credit mass population movements with changing the ethnic fabric of the empire, few have described how official policies were employed to encourage migrant identification with the changing Ottoman state. This dissertation analyzes migration and Ottoman migration administration in the five decades following the Crimean War (1853-1856). I explore the development of the immigrant as a social issue requiring administrative intervention within a modernizing state. Through an analysis of policy directives and official reports on migrant settlement, education, and health, I consider state strategies of population management and spatial organization. Migrants were potential tools in development projects and objects of assimilating reform, and migration administration reveals officials’ concerns with developing techniques to encourage productivity and identification with the state. A history of late Ottoman Empire with a focus on migration and migration administration highlights mobility and space as critical to Ottoman governance.

Show moreThe narrative production of healthful and diseased environments and populations was a central feature of the nascent Turkish republic’s efforts to distance itself from its Ottoman legacy. In this dissertation, I explore the production of these narratives while paying particular attention to gendered tropes of health and place. This work builds on prior studies in geography that recognize certain spatial sensitivities in Foucault’s approaches to history, knowledge, and power. The archaeological and genealogical methods, applied by Foucault to the spatial dispersions of power/knowledge implicated in the production of subject forming discourses ranging from ‘discipline’ and ‘madness’ to ‘sexuality’ and ‘biopolitics’ reached their zenith for geographers in the so-called “governmentality lectures”. This dissertation builds on insights from Foucault and his geographic legacy to assess the production of governmental discourses pertaining to health, gender, and place in the early Turkish republic. Specifically, I address the production of “sanitary citizenship” and “scientific motherhood” as they emerged from various discursive formations dispersed throughout Anatolia: the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s “Medical and Social Geographies”, the novels of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, the writings of Dr. Besim Ömer (Akalın), and the journal published by theTurkish Red Crescent Society. This historical study adds insight to contemporary debates about body politics and public health in Turkey.
