Research on translation and music has so far focused mainly on «art
music» and on issues such as quality, singability and accessibility.
Studies which seek to embed translation and music within their
historical and sociocultural contexts are relatively rare. This book
aims to shed light on how translations of popular music contribute to
fostering international relations by focusing on a case study of
Turkish-Greek rapprochement in the last two decades. It provides a
brief account of the thaw in relations between the two countries and
then examines the ways in which translation and music have played a
role in these changes. By looking at the phenomenon through the
music’s various forms of materiality (on paper, in audio and through
the internet) and the different forms the accompanying translations
take, and by drawing on a range of disciplines (popular music studies,
sociology of music, ethnomusicology, social anthropology, comparative
literature and fan studies), the book aims to foreground the
multifaceted nature of translation and music and their wide-ranging
impact on society and international relations.
