Fragments from early Ottoman Zagori: resilience, adaptation, and transformation

Fragments from early Ottoman Zagori: resilience, adaptation, and transformation

Dr Faidon Moudopoulos-Athanasiou (University of Sheffield) presents on Ottoman Zagori, tracing the history of Zagori from the final decades of the “Despotate” of Epirus (early 15th c.) up to the 18th century, investigating change through the agency of those dwelling in the mountains. Issues of resilience, adaptation and transformation will be raised through a combination of archival (local and imperial) sources, ethnography and landscape archaeology.
