Book talk – Relics of the Past in Conflict. Violence, War, and Monument Preservation in the Ottoman Realm – June 13 – hybrid/Berlin

Next event of the Beyond Restitution Conversation Series.

On Thursday June 13 at 17:00,  Sebastian Willert will give a hybrid book talk titled Relics of the Past in Conflict. Violence, War, and Monument Preservation in the Ottoman Realm
The book talk delves into the overlapping or rivaling aims and agendas of German and Ottoman archaeology, military, politics, and diplomacy. It discusses the relationship between the preservation of cultural heritage, the definition of cultural property, missions to safeguard cultural assets under the name of monument protection, and political and military violence that engulfed the Ottoman realm at the beginning of the 20th century. It aims to provide insights into the intricate dynamics that shaped the preservation of cultural heritage during a period of conflicts.
