- Abstract
This article discusses the formation of geography of symbols upon the recent revival of the issue of Süleyman Shah's tomb. Despite its ahistoric and nationalistic references, the Süleyman Shah's tomb owes its existence to Abdülhamid II's operation to revive this myth of the formative period of the Ottoman State a) to shape his own legitimacy, b) to maintain and revitalize the potential for the monarchy to reproduce itself and for the strategies of creating a public. This can be seen as the first example in Turkey of the project of the creation of symbolic geography peculiar to modern nation-states. The author suggests a thorough revision of certain clichés regarding political and ideological preferences of the Hamidian Era as well as the assumption that the Republican understanding of "motherland" represents a rupture from its late Ottoman imaginations and manifestations.
