A construção do nacionalismo a partir da iconografia: a relação entre os selos e a política otomana dos jovens turcos (1908-1918).

Abstract

In 1908, a revolution broke out in the Ottoman Empire that spread across several provinces, whose nationalist leaders defended the limitation of the Sultanate's powers and political reforms to prevent the Empire's disintegration. The present work proposes to problematize the issue of nationalism within the Ottoman Empire, during the political domain of the Young Turks in their period at the head of the Ottoman government (19081918), based on the notions of Nationalism thought from Hobsbawn (1990), and of Ideological Apparatuses of the State of Althusser (1985). For the development of our research, a historical analysis was made of the postage stamps, which were made by the Correio Ottoman, at the height of nationalist propaganda, using them as ideological instruments, since they were published in the main means of communication at the time. With regard to the methodology used in the study, we work with the one outlined by Rolland Barthes (1984) in image analysis.
