This article examines the case of Iraklio, Crete, on its passage from the Ottoman regime to the Autonomous Cretan Polity in 1898, to interrogate current categories of ethnic boundaries used in historical and social research. It proposes an ‘archaeological’ method of investigating such boundaries in space. It conceives of the city as a field of interaction between the predominant religious groups of Muslim and Christian, and the way these groups have been represented in historical research and public memory. It also shows how understandings of ethnic boundaries were fashioned by colonial, especially British, sanitary and civic planning projects. Finally, it demonstrates how subaltern Muslim spaces, gendered places and ‘dangerous’ neighbourhoods were transformed into paradigmatic cases for understanding spatial segregation in cultural terms.

从“ Tourkopolis”到“ Metropolis”：改变克里特岛19世纪晚期Iraklio（加拿大）的城市边界

本文考察了克里特岛伊拉克利奥（Iraklio）从奥斯曼帝国统治到1898年克里特自治区的转变，以审视历史和社会研究中当前使用的种族边界类别的情况。它提出了一种“考古学”的方法来研究这种空间边界。它把这座城市视为穆斯林和基督教主要宗教团体之间相互作用的领域，以及这些团体在历史研究和公众记忆中的表现方式。它还显示了殖民地，尤其是英国的，卫生的和公民的规划项目如何形成对种族边界的理解。最后，它演示了如何将次穆斯林空间，性别场所和“危险”社区转变为范式案例，以了解文化上的空间隔离。
