Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragments of Culture explores the evolving modern daily life of Turkey. Through analyses of language, folklore, film, satirical humor, the symbolism of Islamic political mobilization, and the shifting identities of diasporic communities in Turkey and Europe, this book provides a fresh and corrective perspective to the often-skewed perceptions of Turkish culture engendered by conventional western critiques. In this volume, some of the most innovative scholars of post 1980s Turkey address the complex ways that suburbanization and the growth of a globalized middle class have altered gender and class relations, and how Turkish society is being shaped and redefined through consumption. They also explore the increasingly polarized cultural politics between secularists and Islamists, and the ways that previously repressed Islamic elements have reemerged to complicate the idea of an "authentic" Turkish identity. Contributors examine a range of issues from the adjustments to religious identity as the Islamic veil becomes marketed as a fashion item, to the media's increased attention in Turkish transsexual lifestyle, to the role of folk dance as a ritualized part of public life. Fragments of Culture shows how attention to the minutiae of daily life can successfully unravel the complexities of a shifting society. This book makes a significant contribution to both modern Turkish studies and the scholarship on cross-cultural perspectives in Middle Eastern studies.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter viii. diary of A journey. On Thursday, July loth, we left Smyrna by rail for Ala-Sheher, the ancient Philadelphia, still so named by the Greeks; the terminus of the Smyrna and Kassaba Railway. Our servants and horses were awaiting us there. In the train we fell in with an inspector of the tobacco Regie, an Austrian of Transylvania, who was just setting out on a business tour. Tobacco is one of the products of Turkey that have been monopolised for the benefit of Turkish bondholders, and no tobacco is allowed to be cultivated or manufactured except under the auspices of the Regie. The Regie goes in for quantity, not quality, and the consequence is that the formerly far-famed Turkish tobacco is no longer to be bought for love or money. Nobody is allowed to grow even a little for private use. It is the duty of the Regie to force every one to smoke its own the R&gie 195 wretched stuff, and it is the duty of the inspector to prevent illicit cultivation. Our acquaintance, who is a very pleasant fellow and excellent company, said it cut him to the heart to force people to smoke the Regie tobacco, which he himself found detestable. A good deal of smuggling is done all the same, although little of the fine tobacco gets into the market. While we were talking I thought of a certain out of the way, unsuspected corner of a sunny garden I knew, where our old landlady grows her own tobacco, and smokes the cigarette of peace in spite of the Regie. The inspector stayed with us a night in our first camp at Tepe-keui, an hour from Ala-Sheher, and came with us to Koula, a short ride of four hours, next morning, July i ith. There we parted in the expectation that our paths may cross again in a few days. Koula lies in a most picturesque situation in a...

Download or read book The Turks in Egypt and their Cultural Legacy written by Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Egypt was ruled by Turkish-speakers through most of the period from the ninth century until 1952, the impact of Turkish culture there remains under-studied. This book deals with the period from 1805 to 1952, during which Turkish cultural patterns, spread through reforms based on those of Istanbul, may have touched more Egyptians than ever before. An examination of the books, newspapers, and other written materials produced in Turkish, including translations, and of the presses involved, reveals the rise and decline of Turkish culture in government, the military, education, literature, music, and everyday life. The author also describes the upsurge in Turkish writing generated by Young Turk exiles from 1895 to 1909. Included is a CD containing appendices of extensive bibliographic information concerning books and periodicals printed in Egypt during this period.

Download or read book Social Media in Southeast Turkey written by Elisabetta Costa and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an ethnographic study of social media in Mardin, a medium-sized town located in the Kurdish region of Turkey. The town is inhabited mainly by Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds, and has been transformed in recent years by urbanisation, Elisabetta Costa uses her 15 months of ethnographic research to explain why public-facing social media is more conservative than offline life. Yet, at the same time, social media has opened up unprecedented possibilities for private communications between genders and in relationships among young people – Costa reveals new worlds of intimacy, love and romance. She also discovers that, when viewed from the perspective of people’s everyday lives, political participation on social media looks very different to how it is portrayed in studies of political postings separated from their original complex, and highly socialised, context.neoliberalism and political events.
