Channel: NeMe
Date: 2020-10-27

"Harmless entrepreneurs," examines the political meaning of economic improvisations within the context of the German economic advance in the Ottoman Empire, focusing on the construction of the Baghdad Railway. Through text, images and lecture performance, Judith Raum takes the audience into a journey to 19th century textile producers in Bavaria and their intricate connectedness with the outreach of imperialist machinery via the textile trade and business connections with the Ottoman Empire as part of the Baghdad Railway project.
