Abstract

A specialist in the cultural and intellectual history of the late Ottoman Empire, Selim Deringil reexamines the historiography of the Hamidian period, its particular context and the Ottoman imperial ideology of the time, very different from that established by the Committee of Union and Progress at the time of the genocide, to better highlight the difficulties, and even the risks, when comparing the two events.
