The present article is a study of provincial administration in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Albania and Kurdistan. It examines the transformation of provincial administration in Dibra and Hazro after two towns’ hereditary rulers were exiled. Focusing on the employment patterns of the notables in exile as well as the ones who occupied the posts in the absence of the former, this study challenges the binary framework mostly employed in conceptualizing the making of the modern Ottoman state. Particularly, the employment of the notables exiled to the distant parts of the empire necessitates a revision in the presumptions about the origins of appointed Ottoman officials. By focusing on the partnership operating by means of employment, this study argues that the making of Ottoman state follows a trajectory of flexible centralization based on the partnership between the government and notables, terms of which were constantly negotiated.

This article surveys the last hundred years of scholarship on individual and collective selfhood in the disciplines dedicated to the European, Byzantine, and Arabic Middle Ages. To keep the project circumscribed, it focuses on the expression of the ?national? and the ?individual? self through language and literature as embedded in concrete social, economic, and political circumstances. The older, bigger, and more mature field among the three (the study of the European Middle Ages) provided the other two with model questions and methods of answering them. The purpose of the paper is to identify where and why these three scholarly disciplines adopted similar approaches and conclusions, as well as where and why they did not. This is offered as a tool through which to test whether ?East? and ?West? are best understood as distinct civilizational blocks that can be evaluated and ranked in terms of their importance for and moral impact on world history.
