The research project investigates Istanbul’s Arabic press between the 1860s and 1920s. Taking this corpus as an example the press will be analysed as a (trans-)local space of communication. In this space contemporary ideas like nationalism or religiously justified political and social concepts which aim at organising the present and the future came together and were negotiated. The project assumes that the press under consideration is a space of cross-border communication, a confined space and part of other spaces at the same time, e.g. the urban space Istanbul, the Arabic speaking, Islamic and journalistic spaces. Analysing processes of communication within those spaces allows for another perspective on ideas virulent in the period under consideration and partly still today: It enables us to grasp the multidimensional developments of ideas and ideologies and to connect the elaboration of ideas to the medium of their expression. Press is regarded as a space of communication as well as a medium capable of structuring and influencing the content of that space. The project pursues a trifold approach: (1) It elaborates on the press-related structures of content production by reconstructing human and textual networks. (2) Furthermore it studies the contents of the press along a discursive thematic network. Consequently the trans-local space of communication will be made visible through human, textual and thematic interconnections and positioned within the different spaces. (3) Thereby it is possible to detect the mechanisms of interrelation of structures and content and to develop a methodology necessary for their analysis. By tracing the path of ideas within the space of communication the impact of the press on their elaboration and disappearance within local, regional and cross-language processes of communication shall be identified. The project contributes in methods and content to the research fields history of the press, Middle Eastern press, intellectual history and Ottoman-Arabic-Turkish thinking during the long 19th century.

该研究项目调查了19世纪60年代至20世纪20年代之间伊斯坦布尔的阿拉伯语新闻。以这个语料库为例，新闻界将被分析为一个（跨）当地的交流空间。在这个空间里，民族主义或宗教上合理的政治和社会概念等旨在组织现在和未来的当代思想聚集在一起并进行谈判。该项目假定，所考虑的新闻界是一个跨界交流的空间，一个有限的空间，同时也是其他空间的一部分，例如伊斯坦布尔的城市空间、讲阿拉伯语的空间、伊斯兰空间和新闻空间。分析这些空间内的交流过程，可以从另一个角度来看待在所考虑的时期内以及部分今天仍然存在的思想：它使我们能够把握思想和意识形态的多维发展，并将思想的阐述与其表达的媒介联系起来。新闻被认为是一个交流的空间，也是一个能够构建和影响该空间内容的媒介。该项目采用三重方法：（1）通过重建人际网络和文本网络，详细阐述与新闻相关的内容制作结构。(2)此外，它研究的内容，新闻沿着一个话语的主题网络。因此，跨地域的交流空间将通过人、文本和主题的相互联系而变得可见，并定位在不同的空间中。(3)因此，有可能检测结构和内容的相互关系的机制，并制定必要的分析方法。通过追踪思想在传播空间中的路径，应确定新闻对思想在地方、区域和跨语言传播过程中的形成和消失的影响。该项目在方法和内容上对新闻史、中东新闻史、思想史和漫长的19世纪的奥斯曼-阿拉伯-土耳其思想等研究领域做出了贡献。
