The Canon of Certain Knowledge vis-à-vis the Reader’s Contract in (Not Only) Scientific Texts, 2025

In the age of social media, the authority of science and scientism is no longer sufficient to gain the trust or attention of readers. Therefore, it seems necessary for the author of a text to establish a kind of pact with them – an individual pact that does not entirely dispel distrust toward scientific findings or institutions (as it seems impossible), but assumes that the text presented to the recipient will be the result of work conducted in the spirit of epistemological representation: devoid of emotional or political manipulation. honest, diligent, marked by effort, and driven by a desire to establish a connection with the reader. Hence the proposal to refer to this as a scientific reference pact, one element of which would be, for example, concern for reliable peer review, responsible choice of publication venue, but above all, the establishment of a relationship with the recipient through clear communication. The authors of the article adopted the strategy of bricolage, which is particularly useful for analyzing cultural texts within the interpretative paradigm. The text addresses the relationship between truth and fiction in the so-called non-fiction genres and in scientific texts; at the same time, it contributes to the discussion on the possibility of disseminating scientific knowledge, both in the context of the achievements of the philosophy of science and the widespread practice of knowledge construction by media users.

Etnpmüzikoloji Dergisi (Ethnomusicology Journal), 2020

Etnomüzikoloji Dergisi üçüncü yılının ikinci sayısını çıkararak yayınlarında 6. sayıya ulaştı. Altıncı sayı, bir önceki sayıda olduğu gibi etnomüzikoloji disiplinin kendi içindeki tartışmaları, yeni yaklaşımları, alan kavramı ve alan araştırması ile ilgili yeni metot önerilerinin uygulanmaya çalışıldığı eskiyeni alan çalışmalarına çağrıda bulundu. Yalnızca etnomüzikologlara değil, yakın disiplinlerden de makalelerin değerlendirmeye alındığı altıncı sayıda, Etnomüzikoloji Derneğinin “Dünyada ve Türkiye’de Etnomüzikolojinin Dünü, Bugünü, Yarını” temalı, 29-30 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında düzenlediği çevrimiçi etnomüzikoloji sempozyumu açılış konuşmacısı (keynote) Prof. Dr Jeff Todd TITON’nun “Within Ethnomusicology, Where Is Ecomusicology? Music, Sound, and Environment” başlıklı yaklaşımları üzerine kritik yaptığı sunum da yer almakta. Öncelikle belirtmek gerekir ki, 2020 yılının büyük global salgınının yansımaları birçok alanda olduğu gibi sosyal disiplinlerde fazlasıyla kendini göstermektedir. Çalışma metodolojileri, veri toplama teknikleri, neden-sonuç ilişkileri sorgulamaları ve değişen yaşam biçimleri tüm sosyal bilimlerde olduğu gibi etnomüzikoloji özelinde de çeşitli tartışmalar ve araştırmaları önümüze sermekte. Dünyada değişim anları ve yansımalarını müzik bağlamları üzerinden okuma refleksini hızlı bir şekilde göstermiş ve göstermekte olan etnomüzikoloji, mevcuda yönelik tespit, yorumlama, kayda geçirme ve uygun teorik çerçeve ile açıklamaya yönelik çalışmalara elinizdeki sayıda dikkat çekilmektedir. Feyzan Göher tarafından yapılan “Kültür Ürünlerinin Mekânsal Değişimi Sibirya Türklerinde Tarım ve Hayvancılık Kültüründen Müzik Kültürüne Geçen Çalgılar” isimli çalışma, Titon’un çizdiği kuramsal dünya ve kritiği destekler nitelikte bir içeriğe ve alan verilerine sahip olması ile önem arz eder. Nikos Andrikos, “Towards A Re-Approach of Makam Theory Based on Practice and Repertoire: The Case of The Segah Phenomena” çalışmasında segah perdesi ve makamı tartışmalarında yeni bir yaklaşım ortaya koyarken, Rohan Iyer Kent kimliği içerisinde sokak stili Siter performansını kültürel kimlik boyutuyla ele almaktdır. Samarpita Chatterjee (Mukherjee) & Sabyasachi Sarkhel ise “An Introduction to Dhrupad Performance Platforms of India” isimli çalışmasında, Hindistan müziğinin en önemli performans biçimlerinden olan Dhrpad’lar üzerine yaptığı incelemede, geleneksel bir form Dhrupad’ların yeni performans platformları üzerine gözlemlerini yansıtır. Art arda gelen son üç makalede görüldüğü üzere, araştırmacılar geleneksel bir müzik yapısının günümüz müzik dinleme, algılama, üretme, tüketme, seyretme gibi dinamiklerdeki değişiklik halini ve tartışmalarını yansıtmaktadırlar. ‘Musikide İnkılabı Popüler Müzikle Yapmak’: Barış Manço ve Armonize Edilmiş Türküler” başlıklı Okan Murat Öztürk tarafından yazılan makalede ise aynı zamanda pop müzik ikonlarından olan Barış Manço’ nun eser ve performanslarını, modernleşme, batılılaşma gibi sosyolojik olgular çerçevesinde kritize edildiği görülür. Son olarak ise yaşanılan salgın döneminin yol açtığı müziğin performansının festivallere yansımasını “Covid-19 Pandemisinin Müzik Festivallerine Mekansal Etkisi: “Virtual Festival” başlıklı makalesinde Ayça Boyacıoğlu oldukça güncel bir konu üzerinden değerlendirme yapmaktadır. Ayrıca, 6. sayı hakemlerimiz, Oya Leventoğlu, Cenk Güray, Cenk Celasin ve Irene Markoff’tan oluşmaktadır. Dergimize katkıda bulunan tüm yazarlarımıza ve hakemlerimize teşekkür eder, bir sonraki sayımızda birbirinden değerli çalışmalarla alana katkıda bulunmayı canı gönülden temenni ederim. Prof. Dr. Özlem DOĞUŞ VARLIEthnomusicology Journal has published the second issue of its third year and reached the 6th issue in its publications. The sixth issue, as in the previous issue, has called for the old-new fieldworks in which the discussions within the discipline of ethnomusicology, new approaches and field concept as well as suggestions for new methods related to fieldwork are tried to be addressed. The sixth issue where the articles of not only the ethnomusicologists but also those from close disciplines have taken been into consideration, has given place to the presentation, " Within Ethnomusicology, Where Is Ecomusicology? Music, Sound, and Environment”, which was delivered by Prof. Dr. Jeff Todd TITON, keynote speaker in the online ethnomusicology symposium, "Past, Present, Future of Ethnomusicology in the World and Turkey" organized by the Association of Ethnomusicology on 29-30 May, 2020, and which featured the criticism on the approaches of ecoethnomusicology- ecomusicology. First of all, it should be noted that the repercussions of the great global pandemic of 2020 are very evident in social disciplines, as in many areas. Study methodologies, data collection techniques, questioning of cause-effect relationships and changing lifestyles reveal various discussions and researches in ethnomusicology, as in all social sciences. Ethnomusicology, which has quickly exhibited and is still exhibiting the reading reflex of the moments of change and reflections in the world through musical contexts, draws attention with the studies that explain the present situation by identification, interpretation, recording and appropriate theoretical framework as indicated by the issue at your hand. The work titled "Spatial Change of Cultural Products: Instruments passed from Agriculture and Livestock Culture to Music Culture in Siberian Turks " by Feyzan Göher is important with its content and field data that support the theoretical world and criticism that Titon has put forward. In his work “Towards a Re-Approach of Makam Theory Based on Practice and Repertoire: The Case of the Segah Phenomena”, Nikos Andrikos introduces a new approach to the segah pitch structure and makam discussions, while Rohan Iyer addresses street-style within the urban identity and Siter examines the performance with the dimension of cultural identity. Samarpita Chatterjee (Mukherjee) & Sabyasachi Sarkhel, in their study which is titled as “An troduction to Dhrupad Performance Platforms of India” and examines the Dhrupads, one of the most important performance styles of Indian music, reflect their observations on the new performance platforms of a traditional form, Dhrupads. As can be seen in the last three successive articles, they reflect the changes and discussions of a traditional musical structure in the dynamics of today's music, such as listening, perceiving, producing, consuming, observing music. In the article titled "Making Music Revolution with Popular Music": Barış Manço and Harmonized Folk Songs" written by Okan Murat Öztürk, it is seen that the works and performances of Barış Manço, who is also one of the icons of pop music, are criticized within the framework of sociological phenomena such as modernization and westernization. Finally, Ayça Boyacıoğlu evaluates the reflection of the performance of the music caused by the epidemic period on the festivals in his article titled "The Spatial Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Music Festivals:" Virtual Festival" on a very current topic. Also, the journal referees of the 6th issue include Oya Leventoğlu, Cenk Güray, Cenk Celasin and Irene Markoff. I would like to thank all our authors and referees who contributed to our journal, and I sincerely wish to contribute to the field with valuable studies in our next issue.

Asian Ethnology, 2019

The edited volume Soziale Ästhetik, Atmosphäre, Medialität: Beiträge aus der Ethnologie may be translated as "Social Aesthetics, Atmosphere, Mediality: Ethnological/ Anthropological Contributions." It was published in honor of Frank Heidemann, professor of Ethnologie (ethnology/socio-cultural anthropology) at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. The volume comprises an introduction and twenty-two essays contributed by former students, friends and (some well-known) colleagues from around the globe that all pay tribute to his legacy as a teacher and scholar. The chapters are written in either German or English. The introduction (in German) traces Heidemann's scholarly trajectory and presents recurring themes in his work. Heidemann is mostly known for his work on South Asia with a particular emphasis on the South Indian Nilgiris but also Sri Lanka and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Thematically, he has worked on topics as diverse as migration, history, politics, local culture, myths and rituals, while problematizing the question of "ethnographic representation." The latter is also reflected in his take on visual anthropology, which he firmly established as an area of specialization at the Munich university department. Heidemann's growing awareness of the holistic nature of emotional and sensual experience, probably fostered by his own experience in participant observation, as argued by the editors in the introduction, may have contributed to his recent endeavor of grasping and theorizing the elusive and fleeting character of particular kinds of human sociality in their sensual and cultural dimension. He approaches the latter drawing on the concepts of "social aesthetics" and "atmosphere." Heidemann's theoretical and methodological interests as well as his legacy as a teacher are reflected in the three thematic parts of the book, consisting of four to nine chapters each. Thus, the first part, entitled "Social Aesthetics and Atmosphere," comprises nine essays that engage with these concepts in one way or other. Hence, we find
