The Republic of Love
At the heart of The Republic of Love are the voices of three musicians—queer nightclub star Zeki Müren, arabesk originator Orhan Gencebay, and pop diva Sezen Aksu—who collectively have dominated mass media in Turkey since the early 1950s. Their fame and ubiquity have made them national icons—but, Martin Stokes here contends, they do not represent the official version of Turkish identity propagated by anthems or flags; instead they evoke a much more intimate and ambivalent conception of Turkishness. Using these three singers as a lens, Stokes examines Turkey’s repressive politics and civil violence as well as its uncommonly vibrant public life in which music, art, literature, sports, and journalism have flourished. However, Stokes’s primary concern is how Müren, Gencebay, and Aksu’s music and careers can be understood in light of theories of cultural intimacy. In particular, he considers their contributions to the development of a Turkish concept of love, analyzing the ways these singers explore the private matters of intimacy, affection, and sentiment on the public stage.

Timur
Timur, kâinatı titreten azametinin bu genç kız yüreğinde, minimini bir tesir uyandırmadığını anlamakla çok ağır bir ıstıraba kapıldı. Yarım asra yakın bir zamandan beri bu haşmeti, bu kudreti ve bu eşsiz saltanatı elde etmek için çalışmıştı. Kaç kere ve kaç kere maksat uğrunda, ölümlerle karşılaşmıştı. Hatta yaralar alıp yataklara düşmüştü? Bunlar, bu uğraşmalar, bu tehlikeli çırpınmalar, demek ki bir kızın yüreğini alabilecek kuvveti kendisine temin edememişti. İşte Cihangir Timur, on beş yaşında bir çocuğun önünde âciz kalıyordu. O halde kudret sanılan şey hakikatte acizden başka bir varlık değildi ve o, tam yarım asır, böyle bir aczi -fakat debdebelerden yapılma bir örtü içinde- elde etmek için çırpınmıştı!

Placing Islam
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. For centuries, the Mosque of Eyüp Sultan has been one of Istanbul’s most important pilgrimage destinations, in large part because of the figure buried in the tomb at its center: Halid bin Zeyd Ebû Eyûb el-Ensârî, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Timur Hammond argues here, however, that making a geography of Islam involves considerably more. Following practices of storytelling and building projects from the final years of the Ottoman Empire to the early 2010s, Placing Islam shows how different individuals and groups articulated connections among people, places, traditions, and histories to make a place that is paradoxically defined by both powerful continuities and dynamic relationships to the city and wider world. This book provides a rich account of urban religion in Istanbul, offering a key opportunity to reconsider how we understand the changing cultures of Islam in Turkey and beyond.
