Description
Up until the end of the 18th century, the way Ottomans used their clocks conformed to the inner logic of their own temporal culture. However, this began to change rather dramatically during the 19th century, as the Ottoman Empire was increasingly assimilated into the European-dominated global economy and the project of modern state building began to gather momentum. In 'Reading Clocks, Alla Turca', Avner Wishnitzer unravels the complexity of Ottoman temporal culture and tells the story of its transformation.
