Abstract

Nationalism recites us a harsh chapter from Turkey and Greece. As there is an adequate research on these movements, it is effectual to focus on a particular case: nationalist musical policies. “How did Turkish and Greek states use institutional power to stigmatize particular music-making practices in constructing ‘progressive’ national identities during 1920-1950?” Departing from this problematic, Gökalp's cultural conceptualization, stigmatizing Arabic and Ottoman music-making practices, legitimizing “Turkish Folk Music” are studied. Secondly, Neo-Hellenic nationalism and such policies of Metaxas-period, denouncing Rebetika is pointed out. Finally, ideologies on constructing dichotomies between “modern-national” and “oriental-antithesis” are compared, highlighting cultural policies.
