Item Open Access About the artistic and performing features of violin works of Gara Garayev(Bilkent University, 2019-05) Ganioğlu, CeylaGarayev’s unique talents of music opened a new page in Azerbaijan’s music of 20th century. He adapted an untypical way of making music in which he was able to combine the traditional and the modern type. There are several substances that were brought in music of Azerbaijan by Garayev such as new themes, new images, and new means of composing. He achieved success not only in the areas of the national ballet, choral, and chamber music but also panned out well considering sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto. These works represents main aspects and characteristics of Garayev’s music like implementation of national traditions while applying new methods of the 20th century, specifically neo-classicism and serial technique. In both sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto, he reflects a perspective of synthesis of the two musical systems that are the Eastern and the Western. Hidden features of the past reveal while the means of modern music are observable in sonata for violin and piano. That is why, one can claim that Azerbaijani music was enriched by Garavey through his unusual implementations of new modern techniques. The work is shaped by some common features which provides an opportunity to unite all its parts internally in order to create true unity. Individual uniqueness of harmonic language, great quality of linear motions, and polyphonic forms are all used featly by the composer. Hence, while one senses the qualities and characteristics of the national musical language, s/he is able to experience classical and contemporary music in this work. Gara Garayev carries the outputs of the past and conceives an innovative synthesis where those outputs meet present techniques. This synthesis symbolizes the national musical thought with mostly Western patterns of genres and forms. Thus, with his high unmatched genre, in which esthetical principles, rules of traditional, and aspects of modern music such as twelve-tone system exist, Azerbaijan’s music was enriched and transported into a new level.Item Open Access City dwellers views on the minstrel tale tradition(2007) Tunç, GökhanStudies on minstrel literature are seen to focus on minstrels and their oeuvres. Yet, as researchers like Alan Dundes and Dan Ben Amos underscore, in the creation process of an oral artwork, artist and listeners / receivers play equally vital roles. Hereby, this article will address specifically the highly disregarded issue of listener / receiver. To this end, a survey has been made with a selected group of city dwellers of different social backgrounds and milieus, including primary school, high school and university students, as well as adults. These results of this survey have been interpreted in order both to discuss the constantly changing concept of "folk" and to consider, these groups' attitude towards minstrel literature and their views on this literature.Item Open Access A code-writer site-owner: Ersan Özer(2006) Aygün, A.In this work, a question related to the concept of "folk" which was suggested by Alan Dundes in his work "Who is Folk?" has been discussed. In order to ask this question, we took itiraf.com writers as example of Dundes' "folk". When we analyzed the process of generating new codes, we saw that the site-owner had a pioneer role which is similar to Tyler Durden's in the novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. A kind of hierarchical system caused by the pioneer role of the site-owner Ersan Özer was seem to be a difficulty to call itiraf.com writers "folk" according to Alan Dundes. The argument of the paper has been set up because of this situation.Item Open Access Group folklore and "Ideoculture"(2012) Erdem, S.Having been employed for decades -from the beginning of the Folklore Studies as an academic field in the 19th century to the 1960s- to address communities that dwell in rural areas, and their cultural productions, the phenomena of "folk" and "folklore" had always been used in tandem with some assumptions and associations that were not free of certain pejorative implications such as illiteracy, rusticity, provinciality, peasantry etc. However, in the 1960s, Alan Dundes's redefinition of "folk" as "any group of people whatsoever who share at least one common linking factor" have revolutionized the trajectories of folkloristic research and caused a paradigm shift in the nature of folkloric subject. Hereby, over the past decades folklorists have been studying a wide variety of diverse groups and their cultural productions. However, these studies do not often completely break away from some parameters, definitions and research methods of the past century in which folklore studies were confined to only rural areas. This paper aims to discuss such negative ramifications in group culture studies and suggests an ideal model for them by briefly examining Gary Alan Fine's studies on the subject. Fine's conceptualizing of group culture and cultural elements which characterize an interacting group as the ideoculture seems to be one of the most effective suggestions have been put forward so far. Hence, it is argued that Fine's studies on ideoculture can be a model solution to the problems mentioned above.Item Open Access Shadow theater moving from stage to screen: Series of commercials for Pepsi and whom?(2006) Yeşil, N.Does the transformation of context and function in Turkish shadow theater amount to a loss? If such a work of folklore accents divergence from the usual characters and setting, does it no longer belong to "us"? Delving into a series of five Pepsi commercials broadcasted on TV for a Ramadan promotion in 2005, this article shall seek an answer to such questions. Voicing Pepsi's slogan "under every cap", this series shall be considered as a product of secondary orality based on an assessment of how similar techniques, structure and characters seen in the shadow theater known as "Karagöz" are put to use. With a critical standpoint towards the identity of the folk group addressed by this series, the article shall thus shed light upon how the shadow theater is reproduced by means of the city and technology.Item Restricted Yaprak Dergisi(Bilkent University, 2018) Özcan, Muhammed Fatih; Yıldız, Recep; Turhan, Arda; Şen, Begüm; Özler, S.
