| Fußnoten: | Abstract: As part of the emergence of modern urban tourism, Ottoman Istanbul had become a stopover for international performers since the nineteenth century. By the post-Armistice period (1918 onwards), the predominantly non-Muslim district of Pera was filled with the sounds of ragtime and jazz at night. The chapter understands early Istanbul jazz through the lens of refugees, musicians, minority communities, and printed and visual materials circulating through the post-imperial and transnational networks of the time. Unlike Jazz Age New York and Paris, the jazz culture of 1920s Istanbul has not been well documented. Putting in relief such minor stories of jazz performance coalescing in Istanbul highlights the multidirectional geography of early jazz. Such a perspective decenters a narrative of early jazz contributing to American cultural imperialism and focuses the topic on transnational encounters around the world. Likewise, a closer look at the cultural encounters, appropriations, and debates in early 1920s Istanbul through the lens of early jazz helps to question narratives of a neat transition from multiethnic empire to a homogeneous national culture in Turkey. |
