The Daydreams of Polyphony: From The Music Revolution to The Birth of Turkish Popular Culture

Abstract

Abstract

The Turkish Cultural Revolution has been a steady of debate and controversy for scholars coming from different

disciplines of social science since the founding elites attempted to build the new secular society upon a

disintegrating cosmopolitan empire in 1923. One of the off shoots of this modernization project championed

by a group of elite soldiers under the leadership of Atatürk was the so-called Turkish music revolution. In

this paper, I am defining the imagination of a nation and its cultural modular forms in an underdeveloped

oriental milieu as that of Turkey as daydreaming because I would argue that the so-called music revolution

of this total cultural fabrication throughout the 1930s, 1940s resulted in confusion, feelings of anxiety, artistic

and cultural volatility, and, thereby, paved the way for an opportunity to navigate in a space between the

Occident and the Orient spatio-temporality in parallel to ethno-racist discourses.
