La collaborazione in età moderna tra autorità politiche e gerarchie ecclesiastiche nell’imposizione di
un’uniformità religiosa e nella creazione di marcatori identitari esclusivi è stata tradizionalmente
studiata all’interno del quadro interpretativo della “confessionalizzazione” – un concetto nato per il
caso tedesco e finora applicato solamente ai territori europei. Recentemente, però, alcuni studiosi
hanno cominciato ad esaminare il processo di costruzione di un’ortodossia islamica sunnita tra la fine
del Medioevo e la prima età moderna, nel tentativo di applicare il paradigma storiografico della
confessionalizzazione anche all’Impero ottomano.
Inserendosi in tale dibattito ma ampliando il campo d’indagine, questa giornata di studi si propone di
riflettere in maniera comparativa sulla progressiva costruzione delle identità confessionali tra le
comunità dell’Impero ottomano: si tratta di un processo quasi sempre determinato dal confronto con
un gruppo religioso rivale (islam sunnita e sciita, cristianesimo ortodosso e cattolico, ebraismo
rabbinico e movimenti mistici o carismatici) o con i membri di un’altra comunità. Un’attenzione
speciale sarà rivolta alla duplice natura di tale processo (dall’alto e dal basso) così come alle possibili
somiglianze, differenze e intrecci tra la “confessionalizzazione” europea e ottomana.
