Ahmet Ersoy

Ahmet Ersoy serves as Associate Professor in the Department of History at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, specializing in the cultural history of the Late Ottoman Empire with emphasis on visuality, authenticity discourses, and westernizing transformations during the 19th-20th centuries.

His research examines photography and mechanical image reproduction's societal impact, particularly through illustrated journals under Abdülhamid II's reign (1876-1909). Key interests include the Ottoman "pictorial turn," historical consciousness mediated by print culture, and architectural nostalgia linking late Ottoman revivalism to contemporary Turkish identity. He analyzes how media like journals transformed perceptions of antiquities and medieval Ottoman origins.
