  • Mediating Cultural Capital’ In-Between Dominant/Non-Dominant Cultural Capital: a Case of Mısırlı Ahmet
    YEDİ: SANAT, TASARIM VE BİLİM DERGİSİ YAZ 2016, SAYI 16: 23-32 SUMMER 2016, ISSUE 16: 23-32 YEDİ: SANAT, TASARIM VE BİLİM DERGİSİ ‘Mediating Cultural Capital’ In-Between Dominant/Non-Dominant Cultural Capital: A Case of Mısırlı Ahmet Uğur ASLAN* ................................................................................................................ Abstract The goal of this paper is to explain how musicians posit their music practices from ‘low’ status, which is defined by social disposition, to ‘high’ status. However, cultural signals, which cultural capital contains, can be gained by people to posit themselves from ‘lower’ status to ‘higher’ status. In this context, even though cultural capital represents high-status cul- tural signals, this concept is operated in ‘non-dominant’ groups as well as ‘dominant’ groups. In the circumstances, specific agents — who may be called cultural intermediaries — that have competence in both 'low'and 'higher' culture emerge in the process of mediating cultural capital. Thus, mediating cultural capital occurs in between 'high' and 'low' culture where reproduction of cultural capital can be seen through cultural intermediaries. In this context, Mısırlı Ahmet applies for me- diating cultural capital to situate his music practice to 'upper' level by developing new techniques and playing wide range of music styles. Keywords: Cultural Capital, Cultural Intermediaries, Mediating Cultural Capital, Mısırlı Ahmet, Darbuka. Baskın/Baskın Olmayan Kültürel Sermaye Arasında ‘Aracı Kültürel Sermaye’: Mısırlı Ahmet Örnek Olayı Özet Bu makalenin amacı müzisyenlerin kendi müzik pratiklerini toplumsal eğilim tarafından tanımlanan ‘düşük’ konumdan ‘yük- sek’ statüye nasıl konumlandırdıklarını açıklamaktır. Bununla birlikte kültürel sermayenin içerdiği kültürel işaretler, insanlar tarafından kendilerini ‘düşük’ konumdan ‘yüksek’ konuma konumlandırmak için kazanılabilir. Bu bağlamda kültürel sermaye, yüksek statüdeki kültürel işaretleri temsil etmesine rağmen bu kavram baskın grupların yanı sıra baskın olmayan gruplarda da işletilir.

  • Beyond the Glitter: Belly Dance and Neoliberal Gentrification in Istanbul
    Beyond the Glitter: Belly Dance and Neoliberal Gentrification in Istanbul Oyk¨¨ u Potuo˘glu-Cook Northwestern University Contemporary Turkish belly dance underscores real and imagined connections to an Ottoman past within overlapping Islamist and secular neoliberal projects and identities forged around female modesty, heritage tourism, and urban restructuring in post-1980s Istanbul.1 In this article, I use belly dance praxis as a critical lens to explore the complex ways in which gendered cultural worlds and urban economies actively intersect across multiple contemporary Istanbul venues.2 In a series of urban settings, I illustrate a rich array of distinctions along shifting lines of class and practices of female modesty to emphasize the wide range of Islamic and secular subject positions in the market-driven gentrification of Istanbul. While these ethnographic scenes reveal moral and economic possibilities as well as limitations for varied social actors, they also underline attendant tensions around urban public face and performance, profit and propriety, economy and etiquette.3 Scene 1: Bach A L’Orientale In a two-piece fitted dark suit, I am dressed to match a rare formal occasion in Istanbul: a classical music concert featuring belly dance. The spacious and austere foyer of the renowned Lutfi Kırdar Convention Center is far from welcoming.4 Concertgoers, clothed in cashmere and fur but nevertheless giving no impression of warmth, glide unhurriedly on impeccable marble floors, greeting guests amid Grecian columns and departing as if in step with a Bach gavotte. I choose one of the 12 doors to enter the techno-smart concert hall on the ground floor.
