Im Rahmen der internationalen Herbstschule Beyond Epistemic Nationalism and Eurocentrism. Transregional Approaches to Western Balkan Modernities during the Nineteenth Century.

The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe examines how Bosnian Muslims navigated the Ottoman and Habsburg domains following the Habsburg occupation of Bosnia Herzegovina after the 1878 Berlin Congress. Prominent members of the Ottoman imperial polity, Bosnian Muslims became minority subjects of Austria-Hungary, developing a relationship with the new authorities in Vienna while transforming their interactions with Istanbul and the rest of the Muslim world. Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular explores the enduring influence of the Ottoman Empire during this period—an influence perpetuated by the efforts of the imperial state from afar, and by its former subjects in Bosnia Herzegovina negotiating their new geopolitical reality. Muslims' endeavours to maintain their prominence and shape their organizations and institutions influenced imperial considerations and policies on occupation, sovereignty, minorities, and migration. 

Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Rutgers University Newark where she teaches Middle East and Islamic Studies. She earned her Ph. D. from the Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at Columbia University.
