Landscapes of Music in IstanbulA Cultural Politics of Place and Exclusion

Edited by Alex G. Papadopoulos, Aslı Duru

"The suggestion that music, landscape, and social contestation can be usefully triangulated to reveal the contours of a cultural politics of place forms the genesis of this book. This association is powerfully represented by the cultural experiences of Istanbul that are analyzed here across a century and a half of musical practice. First as Ottoman imperial capital, later as the primate city of republican Turkey, and since the mid-1980s, as an emerging global city, Istanbul exemplifies polarities, oppositions, and dialectics associated with the transformative agency of modernity."
