Item La Sublime Porte, les puissances européennes et le problème de la course maritime de la Régence d’Alger aux 18e-19e siècles(2022-06-30) Benafri, ChakibThis research proposes to examine the major milestones of the political system of the Regency of Algiers, highlighting the relations maintained between this Regency and the Sublime Porte during the period of the Deys (1671-1830). Furthermore, we aim to analyze the impact of the maritime activities of the Regency of Algiers in the Mediterranean during the 18th and 19th centuries on diplomatic relations between the European powers and the Sublime Porte, which were from the 18th century in a period of decadence. Our research also attempts to trace the boundaries of the geographical space of the Algerian privateering and its consequences and to explain how it became a real diplomatic crisis between this Regency and the Metropolis. We will study the issue of the Independence of the Regency of Algiers on the aspect of external relations and its impact on the position of the Sublime Porte concerning these relations with the Western powers that had begun to shake the borders of the Ottoman space to share the heritage of “The Sick Man” at the level of the European Continent and the Mediterranean to impose a new world order and a new vision on the organization of international relations to the whole Ottoman Islamic world.Item Le tissage de la mémoire La captivité des frères Wolfgang d’Augsbourg à Alger(2022-06-30) Ruhe, ErnstpeterAmong the surviving German-language accounts of captivity, the story of the fate of two young Augsburg artists, the Wolfgang brothers, taken captive by Algerian corsairs on their way back from England and brought to Algiers is particularly remarkable. Thanks to new documents published in this same review by Gérard van Krieken it is now possible to determine the exact date of the capture and thus to reassess the story. The analysis of the correction concerning the date of the capture reveals the essential role played by the particular type of memoria that characterises the narrative, written and published almost 80 years after their return from Algiers by the son of one of the brothers, himself already aged.Item Trapped in the “Nest of Corsairs”. A Brief Historiographical Overview of Sixteenth Century Ottoman Algiers(2022-06-30) Caprioli, FrancescoSince the eighteenth century, a vast number of articles, books and critical essays have been written about the Algerian corsairs and the role played by the city of Algiers in the early modern Mediterranean, but as a rule the historians’ starting hypotheses have remained firmly lodged in rigid and partly erroneous definitions such as «nest of corsairs», «pirate republic» or «Barbary state». By reassessing the historiography of sixteenth-century Algiers, this article argues for the need to go beyond such categories to avoid the trap of Eurocentrism. Far from aiming to present an exhaustive review of all the publications on Ottoman Algiers, in the first section of this article I have selected a number of works that illustrate how the stereotype of the «nest of corsairs» pervaded European historiography until only a few decades ago, when, by combining Christian and Islamic sources and considering new research perspectives, a number of historians have presented a more rational image of the city of Algiers, not only as the epicentre of the Mediterranean corso, but also as the capital of the province of Cezayir-i Garb. Following on from the most recent publications by Ottomanists and Arabists, in the second section I shall examine the complex role played by the Algerine corso and its protagonists during the sixteenth century.
