  Le Captif de Malte. Récit autobiographique d’un cadi ottoman du XVIe siècle,
  "Visages Ottomans", carte blanche aux Éditions Anacharsis, 22es Rendez-vous de l’Histoire, Frantz Olivié (Éditions Anacharsis), Blois

  Le cadi ottoman Ma‘cûncızâde Mustafa Efendi a laissé un témoignage historique rare (étant donné le petit nombre de textes autobiographiques que nous avons des captifs ottomans) de son histoire de captivité à Malte à la fin du XVIesiècle. Au printemps 1597, le juge est capturé par des corsaires de l’Ordre de Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem dans le golfe d’Antalya au cours du voyage qui devait le mener à Chypre où il était nommé par le sultan Mehmed III à la circonscription de Paphos. Durant ses deux années à la prison de La Valette, le cadi a composé un texte relatant sa vie quotidienne de captif — à travers de nombreuses jérémiades — dans lequel il a compilé les lettres et poèmes qu’il a adressés au sultan et à des dignitaires ottomans afin d’obtenir son rachat. L’auteur s’est efforcé de faire preuve de ses talents littéraires en vue d’inciter les « grands » à racheter les hommes de science prisonniers des « mécréants ». Le cadi avait une quarantaine d’années à la conclusion de son rachat en 1599 ; mais rien ne nous est connu de son sort d’homme libre à nouveau, sinon le fait qu’au moins son manuscrit, recopié dans l’Empire ottoman en 1602, nous est parvenu. Ce récit polyvalent est éclairant sur le vécu des captifs au sein du centre de la course anti-ottomane (Malte), mais aussi en ce qui concerne la politique de la Porte ottomane au sujet de la captivité de ses sujets en Europe, sans oublier sa richesse purement littéraire.

  Semantics of Labour Relations in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire (15th-17th Centuries),
  Panel "Grammars of Dependency", 3e Congrès du European Labour History Network, Juliane Schiel, "Free-Unfree Labour" Working Group, Amsterdam

  In this paper, I will present the partial results of my ongoing research on Ottoman labour history. More specifically, I will focus on the core Ottoman Turkish vocabulary that pertains to work, labourers, juridical status and effort.
  My documentation consists of legislative texts, court records, account books, price registers and chronicles of social observers.
  While exploring 15 key terms in published and unpublished sources, I systematically take note of each context, specific sense and associated terms. I am gradually building a significant database that allows me to emphasise the specificities of each province and sub-province in the field of labour relations. These specificities depend generally on the date and conditions of incorporation of a given territory to the imperial ensemble.
  Furthermore, focusing on the juridical status allow me to analyse in detail the vast array of possibilities and trajectories that makes the simple dichotomy between free and unfree labour irrelevant.
  In short, I will indicate some of the evolutions and transformations of the key elements of said vocabulary (based on juridical and archival material) and some of the contemporary discourses evaluating labour and labourers (based on narrative sources).

  Living conditions and workforce at the copper mines of Küre in Ottoman Kastamonu (16th-18th c.),
  Panel "Forms of Labour and Living conditions in mining communities", 3e Congrès du European Labour History Network, "Labour in Mining" Working Group, Amsterdam

  The Ottoman state based its approach to mine extraction on the economical value and the strategic
  importance of ores and implemented policies of fiscal incitement in order to attract voluntary and
  free taxpaying subjects of the sultan. Copper was a crucial metal (despite being a less noble one
  than silver) for the Ottoman state who established its monopoly on its extraction for the fabrication
  of artillery and other military equipment. Furthermore, the exportation and trade of copper was
  prohibited throughout the empire, a prohibition that was enforced particularly on the ores of Küre in
  the Kastamonu province in northern Anatolia.
  In this communication, I will elaborate on the living conditions in and around the mining town of
  Küre with special reference to the workforce and the mines’ way of operating. If the state managed
  to attract free and salaried miners to Küre from the 15th century onwards, corrupt local officials
  prevented the systematic implementation of fiscal exemption that these miners were promised to
  benefit from. In addition, the state’s demand of a constant output was regularly interrupted by
  numerous instances of earthquakes, floods, epidemics (notably of plague). Natural catastrophes and
  poor hygiene that decimated the miners of Küre made the Ottoman state rely steadily on servile
  labour. Our archival material shows that the imperial bureaucracy treated this issue as something
  merely budgetary, but also that the state was not the sole owner of slaves that excavated in Küre:
  private investors and contractors were also involved. Fugitive slaves reveal indirectly the complex
  network of property relations in the Kastamonu province, because their owners are obligated to
  make individual claims about their human property in fugue.
  State archives (internal correspondence, account books, fiscal records) and contemporary chronicles
  (such as those of Evliya Çelebi and Katib Çelebi in the 17th century) provide us with very specific
  and precious data about the population of Küre that was involved in mining and the bureaucratic
  and business world that revolved around this mining town. In this paper, my focus will be on the
  material conditions of work, revenues of miners and the state, urban life in Küre and all the human
  lives that were affected by copper extraction throughout three centuries.
