“…Atatürk bemoaned the slow pace of reform in his ten-year speech to parliament (Atatürk 1933 A counter-hegemonic discourse soon emerged within the conservatories that argued for the sophistication and Turkishness of traditional Turkish classical music (Gedik & Bozkurt 2009). This led to intense debate between the Gökalpists, who claimed that traditional Ottoman music was Hellenic, Byzantine and Arab (and thus un-Turkish), and those who argued that Ottoman music was in fact an authentic aspect of Turkic culture that shared the same origins as Turkish folk music (Karakayali, 2010) and which had in fact predated and even influenced the Greeks, Byzantines and Arabs. Music theorists such as Hüseyin Arel and Rauf Yetka sought to rationalise Turkish classical music using techniques of Western music theory, and had some success in raising its esteem and stemming its erasure from the cultural landscape.…”

“…First, social control is always mediated through various techniques and technologies, ranging from gossip to digital camerasa point also widely underlined by actor network theorists (Law 1992). These technologies are essential for linking the actors in a power network, even though they might not originally be invented for social control purposes (Foucault 1982;Karakayali 2010). Secondly, the effects of social control technologies are profoundly historical, since their functions tend to change as they become assembled into new networks, giving way to novel uses and practices.…”

In this article, we explore the transfer of functional music as a social control technology from pre-digital to digital media. Muzak, the closest ancestor of online functional music, was expert-designed to improve worker productivity. Ironically, today users themselves are creating mood playlists to enhance their work performance and to manage their emotional states in everyday life contexts. We examine the motivations and practices of users by analyzing their comments on online forums and the descriptions they attach to the mood playlists they create. Our findings indicate that functional music goes through a significant transformation in online media, which brings forth both an expansion of its social control effects and the emergence of novel uses that have a rather ambiguous relationship with social control. We propose that this double mechanism can be used as a basic model for analyzing the interactions between biopower and new media.

Two Ontological Orientations in Sociology: Building Social Ontologies and Blurring the Boundaries of the ‘Social’

The article highlights two contrasting ways in which social theorists have been trying to define the ontological boundaries of sociology since the early days of the discipline. Some (e.g. Durkheim, Weber, and critical realists) have attempted to demarcate social reality as a causally autonomous and qualitatively distinct realm in a segmented/stratified universe. Others (e.g. Tarde, Spencer, Luhmann, sociobiologists, and actor-network theorists) have postulated a more open (or flat) ontological space and blurred such demarcations by either rejecting the causal autonomy of sociological phenomena, or their qualitative distinctiveness, or both. So far, there has been little convergence between these two orientations since according to the former, the opening of the boundaries is likely to give way to reductionist conceptions of society, whereas the latter tends to associate rigid boundaries with essentialism. Through a close examination of these opposing orientations, the article aims to shed light on current ontological dilemmas of sociology.

Abstract: In this study I aim to develop a sociological understanding of why certain techniques of cultural transmission are more easily accepted in some societies than in others. With this aim in mind,
