Beskrivning
The Arabesk Debate describes the way in which Turkish musicians discuss, dispute, and attribute meaning to their music. Martin Stokes examines the debate over 'Arabesk', a musical genre popular throughout Turkey. His book is an ethnographic study of urban music-making in Istanbul, focusing on the activities of professional musicians and their audiences in the city.Dr Stokes looks at the Arabesk debate in the context of state cultural politics, Islam, and the experience of urbanization in Turkey. Within this context he discusses the role of the media, music education, the technology of popular music-making, the construction of gender and the emotions through musical performance, and concepts of musicianship in Turkish society.In looking at the interplay between national cultural politics and urban music-making at a local level, this book challenges both `mass culture' theory and more general assumptions about the study of music in society.

`The main strength of the book is to be found in Stokes's competent ability to explore both anthropological and musicological aspects of arabesk. His rigorous documentation and analysis of various aspects of Turkish musical life give us an equally vivid picture of contemporary Turkey as a secular Muslim state ... I found Stokes's book extremely informative, and it deserves the attention not only of students popular culture and music, Mediterranean specialists and researchers of the modern Muslim world, but also all ethnomusicologists interested in the study of music in society.'Anthropology Ireland
