Similarly, while being single is not a serious problem today, the Ottoman Empire marginalised singles by taxing them more heavily. Unwanted Jews and nomads in Latin Europe were among the main groups in the Ottoman Empire. Copts, on the other hand, were considered marginal in both societies.<br>This course examines how certain groups outside the Grand Narrative were positioned within historical events. At the beginning of the term, we will focus on cultural history, folk culture, marginality, and normality, and then each week we will examine some marginal groups in Ottoman history. The aim is to provide participants with a certain perspective on those who have been marginalised by history. Each week, discussions will be held on the similarities and differences between those considered marginal in Ottoman history and today&#8217;s marginalised groups.   <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"gb-tab-item-79414423\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-28db6432 gb-headline-text\">Course Outline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">You can see and download the course syllabus below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-3120ace5\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/osmanli-tarihinde-kenarda-kalanlar-syllabus-S21.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:813px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von osmanli-tarihinde-kenarda-kalanlar-syllabus-S21.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e528ea4d-f3d0-4a38-bc05-1cc234a49265\" href=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/osmanli-tarihinde-kenarda-kalanlar-syllabus-S21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">osmanli-tarihinde-kenarda-kalanlar-syllabus-S21<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-bc3fa32e\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bc3fa32e\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-233f353f\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e4125b44 gb-headline-text\">Course Details<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b921c8c1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-70b4f9b1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-203abde0\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-203abde0\">\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-7f61003f\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7f61003f\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">12.04.21 &#8211;
