dc.description.abstractThis is a study of how and why nationality, as a perception of time, space, and political authority, was diffused in the Ottoman Empire, leading to its fragmentation into two nation state polities - namely, Greece and Turkey. These questions are addressed through the study of banknotes. In studying the process whereby the banknote became a territorial currency, which allowed the impersonal and catholic mediation of transactions across, yet only within, national territories, the banknote is treated as a 'window' to the normative alignment of a national community. In studying the banknote as a cultural artifact that empowers and at the same time delineates a protocol of social interaction - ie. economic exchange - the banknote is treated as a window to a process of ‘sign-alignment', namely the homogenization of cultural expression.en
