This article concentrates on aspects of this transition, presented through a series of vignettes of city life that point to the itineraries and entanglements between objects and people in the interior of religious buildings and in public spaces. It advocates an analysis attentive to the socio-spatial dialectic in order to explore the ways in which public rituals and religious processions, understood as cultural performances, actively constituted the city’s ethno-religious communities (Jewish, Muslim, Christian) both vis‑à‑vis the (Ottoman/Greek) state and in relation to one another, in the context of their competing modernities. In parallel, the article details the increasing assertion of the Greek Orthodox community in public spaces, through performative events that enacted a growing synergy between Greek nation and religion. Au moment de son passage de l’Empire ottoman à l’État-nation grec, Thessalonique, Selanik en turc, a connu une série de transformations en termes d’environnement humain et urbain. Cet article se penche sur différents aspects de cette transition, en les présentant sous forme de scènes de vie qui montrent les itinéraires et relations entre objets et habitants à l’intérieur des édifices religieux, ainsi que dans l’espace public. Il défend une analyse axée sur la dialectique socio-spatiale afin d’explorer de quelles manières les rituels publics et processions religieuses, en tant que performances culturelles, étaient constitutifs des communautés ethno-religieuses (juive, musulmane et chrétienne) de la ville, à la fois vis‑à‑vis de l’État (ottoman/grec) et dans les relations entre elles, dans un contexte de revendication concurrente de leur modernité. En parallèle, l’article étudie en détail l’affirmation croissante de la communauté grecque orthodoxe dans l’espace public, à travers des événements qui assimilent de plus en plus cette religion à la nation grecque. |

During its transition from the empire to the nation-state, Ottoman Selanik/Greek Thessaloniki underwent a series of transformations in terms of its human and built environment. This article concentrates on aspects of this transition, presented through a series of vignettes of city life that point to the itineraries and entanglements between objects and people in the interior of religious buildings and in public spaces. It advocates an analysis attentive to the socio-spatial dialectic in order to explore the ways in which public rituals and religious processions, understood as cultural performances, actively constituted the city’s ethno-religious communities (Jewish, Muslim, Christian) both vis‑à‑vis the (Ottoman/Greek) state and in relation to one another, in the context of their competing modernities.
