A workshop entitled “Ottoman Ego-Documents” was held at Istanbul Medeniyet University on March 11–13, 2020. The workshop was organized by Istanbul Medeniyet University's Faculty of Letters in collaboration with the Center for Ego-Document Studies and supported by the Turkish Historical Society and the Foundation for Science, Art, History and Literature (İSTEV). It was attended by specialists in history, literature, law, and theology. This event marked the first time in Turkey that this topic was discussed with a large scope. The only previous organized discussion in Turkey on “ego-documents” seems to have been “Autobiographical Themes in Turkish Literature: Theoretical and Comparative Perspectives,” held jointly by Boğaziçi University and the Orient-Institut der DMG in 2003. This discussion was mostly theoretical and the material covered belonged mainly to the post-Tanzimat era. A volume edited by Olcay Akyıldız, Halim Kara, and Börte Sagaster, the organizers of that event, was subsequently published by Ergon.

从过去的错误中吸取教训，过上更好的生活：伊斯坦布尔“奥斯曼自我文件”研讨会报告

2020 年 3 月 11 日至 13 日，在伊斯坦布尔梅德尼耶特大学举办了题为“奥斯曼自我文件”的研讨会。该研讨会由伊斯坦布尔梅德尼耶特大学文学院与自我文件研究中心合作组织，并得到土耳其历史社会和科学、艺术、历史和文学基金会 (İSTEV)。历史、文学、法律和神学专家出席了会议。该活动标志着土耳其首次大范围讨论该主题。土耳其之前唯一有组织的关于“自我文件”的讨论似乎是 2003 年由 Boğaziçi 大学和东方研究所联合举办的“土耳其文学中的自传主题：理论和比较视角”。这种讨论主要是理论性的，所涵盖的材料主要属于后坦齐马特时代。由该活动的组织者 Olcay Akyıldız、Halim Kara 和 Börte Sagaster 编辑的一卷随后由 Ergon 出版。
