Writing from within the cultural landscape of modern Turkey, _Fragments of Culture_ presents exciting new writing on the minutiae of the everyday, providing a corrective to the often skewed perceptions of Turkish culture engendered by conventional western critiques._x000D__x000D_From the adjustments to religious identity as the Islamic veil becomes marketed as a fashion item, to the media explosion of interest in Turkish transsexual lifestyle, to the role of folk dance as a ritualised part of public life and the strained cross-class relations between comfortably-off apartment tenants and their more humble doorkeepers, _Fragments of Culture_ focuses on the diversity of contemporary Turkish life. Reflecting the complexities of the cultural climate at first hand, the contributors tackle the lived realities of an elusive and rapidly changing society, tracing the shifting patterns of social stratification, cultural production and social identity._x000D__x000D_This book contributes to both modern Turkish studies and to a growing but relatively neglected area of scholarship and debate in the Middle East that should enrich cross-cultural perspectives in cultural studies.
