Notes
German orientalism, which had started out in the context of theological studies and had then evolved into a philological discipline, finally experienced a cultural and social turn. In this development Martin Hartmann (1851-1918) played an important role challenging the tradition of classical philology in the late 19th century and making the living Orient a part of German orientalism. Having worked on different subjects, from Berber folk tales to the Arabic press and Arabic studies, he came to focus more and more on political, cultural and literary studies related to the Islamic world and the Ottoman Empire. Thus, it is not surprising that the Young Turks became important topic for him. His close relationship with the Ottoman intelligentsia and his own observations and impressions of Istanbul enabled him to follow their rise very closely. This article consists of two parts. The first part examines how Hartmann represents the thought of the Young Turks in the context of Ottoman modernisation, proceeding from his early texts to his later works and letters. The second part considers the intellectual background, which accounts for the changes in his approach to the Young Turks.
