Weaving together cultural history and critical imperial studies, Anastasia Stouraiti shows how war and territorial expansion shaped seventeenth-century Venetian culture and society. Using an extensive array of sources, Stouraiti tests conventional assumptions about republicanism, commercial peace and cross-cultural exchange and offers a new approach to the study of the Republic of Venice. By bringing the history of communication in dialogue with empire-building and colonial conquest in the Mediterranean, this book provides an original interpretation of the politics of knowledge in wartime Venice. Stouraiti demonstrates that the Venetian-Ottoman War of the Morea (1684-1699) was mediated through a diverse range of cultural mechanisms of patrician elite domination that orchestrated the production of popular consent. Exploring the militarisation of the public sphere and the orientalist discourse associated with it, Stouraiti exposes the surprising connections between bellicose foreign policies and domestic power politics in a state celebrated as the most serene republic of merchants.

La mostra propone la rappresentazione per immagini della lunghezza e della complessità della storia che accomuna due paesi. Per secoli, Venezia ha rappresentato per l'Europa la Porta d'Oriente, attraverso cui è stato possibile diffondere la conoscenza degli usi e dei costumi dell'Impero Ottomano. Ma è anche vero il contrario: quando la Sublime Porta ha avuto bisogno di rimarcare la sua prossimità con la cultura europea, è a Venezia che ha fatto ricorso. Questo è quello che fece, infatti, Maometto II, il conquistatore di Costantinopoli, quando chiamò alla sua corte il pittore veneziano Gentile Bellini. L'arte e il commercio rappresentarono i pilastri essenziali di questo rapporto fecondo, attraverso il quale con il tempo furono superate le distanze e diminuirono le diffidenze reciproche. Exhibition: Museo Sakip Sabanci, Istanbul, 18 November 2009-28 February 2010.
