| Kitap Tanıtımı | Mevlana ceremonies of whirling dervishes are popular tourist attractions, with shows offered not only inside Turkey, but also successfully exported to audiences in Europe and the United States. This holds true also for the musical tradition of the Alevi-Bekta i, even though their rituals are carried out on a smaller scale than the grandiose Mevlevi ceremonies. After decades of prohibition, renewed interest in these traditions of sacral music, both in formal and popular genres, has developed. This trend runs parallel to an increased concern for cultural, ethnic and religious identities, where the rising tide of religious revivalism sets the tone. The social and cultural conditions in which these renewed trends develop are very different from the ones that prevailed a century ago. This fact constitutes the basic problematic of this book: what has happened to different forms of Sufi music as society, with its political institutions, social structures and cultural traditions, has undergone profound changes?Sayfa Sayısı: 169Dili: İngilizceYayınevi: Taylor & Francis) |
