This research project maps and analyses the fields of intercommunal musical interaction and/or exclusion in late Ottoman Istanbul. Focusing on informal modes of sociality, spaces of public musical performance and the field of music publishing the project explores the collective networks and individual itineraries within the shifting urban environment of late Ottoman Istanbul that constituted and sustained intercommunal musical relations. The overall aim of the project is to address those elusive intermediary spaces formed by the interplay of music, text and space in the context of late Ottoman intecommunal relations and to foreground on the one hand their potentiality as “thresholds of emancipation” in major social and political transitions, and on the other hand their role as means for vouchsafing continuity.
