Title: Early modern ottoman and russian clothing through ethnic stereotypes in Western and Central Europe : Foreigners in the statutes of Trieste, Muggia, Koper, Izola and Piran: from the High Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period Authors: ID Janžekovič, Izidor (Author) Files: Janzekovic.pdf (22,73 MB) MD5: DFF6EAEADE614C2D5214A5E4A914DAAF   Language: English Work type: Unknown Typology: 1.01 - Original Scientific Article Organization: FSMŠ - Nova Univerza - Faculty of Slovenian and Internationa studies Abstract: This paper traces the early modern ethnic ‘stereotypes’ in Western and Central Europe by discussing the various sources of such stereotypes, both textual and visual, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. A useful reference is the well-known – or sometimes infamous – Völkertafel (Table of Nations) from eighteenth-century Styria, which has been fully translated into English here. The writer emphasizes how narrow the gap is between an allegedly accurate, neutral account and one that veers into misrepresentation or stereotype. Whether a depic- tion is seen as stereotypical often hinges on the viewpoint and interpretation of the observer. Among the various ethnic generalizations explored, even traditional attire was interpreted as being characteristic of specific peoples or nations. The article comparatively examines the stereotypes about Ottoman and Russian cloth- ing. The article claims that the Southeastern and Eastern European nations were grouped together with their according imperial identities, i.e., the Russian and Ottoman Empires. In the early modern era, ethnic identities were shaped along the imperial and state lines.
