Diplomats had multiple tasks: not only negotiating with the representatives of other states, but also mediating culture and knowledge, and not least elaborating reports on their observations of politics, society, and culture. Culture, according to the studies featured in this book, is defined as a complex sphere including aspects like systems of communication, literature, music, arts, education, and the creation of knowledge. This edition containing contributions from six conferences held in Vienna and Istanbul by the Don Juan Archiv Wien focuses on the complex diplomatic and cultural relations between the Ottoman Empire and Europe from the time of the early embassies to Istanbul up to "Tanzimat".

Über Autor(innen)

Reinhard Eisendle arbeitet am Don Juan Archiv Wien über die Geschichte des Theaters vom 17. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert: im Besonderen über das Vehältnis von Theater, Politik und Diplomatie, die Figur des Don Juan auf der internationalen Bühne sowie die Inszenierung des Serails im europäischen Theater. Er ist Mitherausgeber der Reihen "Don Juan Studies" und "Diplomatica", zweier neugegründeter Publikationsserien des Don Juan Archivs Wien.
Eisendle kuratierte auch etliche kultur- und theatergeschichtliche Ausstellungen, unter anderem die Ausstellungen "Salieri sulle tracce di Mozart" 2004 im Mailänder Palazzo Reale anlässlich der Wiedereröffnung des Teatro alla Scala sowie "Mozart. Experiment Aufklärung" 2006 in der Albertina Wien.
Als Dramaturg, vornehmlich des zeitgenössichen Theaters, ist Eisendle auch der theatralen Praxis verbunden - so erstellte er eine dramatische Fassung von Asli Erdogans Roman "Das Haus aus Stein", welche unter dem Titel "Nicht einmal das Schweigen" im November 2019 in Graz uraufgeführt wurde.
