Natalie Rothman’s areas of interest include the early modern Mediterranean, historical anthropology, and the genealogies of Orientalism. Her work focuses on trans-imperial subjects, men and women – such as diplomatic interpreters, converts, and commercial brokers – who straddled and mediated political, linguistic, and religious boundaries between the Venetian and Ottoman empires in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Her publications include “Becoming Venetian: Conversion and Transformation in the Seventeenth-Century Mediterranean” in Mediterranean Historical Review (2006) and “Self-Fashioning in the Mediterranean Contact Zone: Giovanni Battista Salvago and his Africa overo Barbaria (1625)” (forthcoming, 2008). She’s currently working on a book manuscript entitled Between Venice and Istanbul: Trans-Imperial Subjects and Cultural Mediation in the Early Modern Mediterranean.
