Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective: Same Songs
Changing Minds examines the ways in which audiences in present-day
Greece and Turkey perceive and use the Greek popular song genre
rebetiko to cultivate specific cultural habits and identities. In
the past, rebetiko has been associated chiefly with the lower
strata of Greek society. But Daniel Koglin approaches the subject
from a different perspective, exploring the mythological and ritual
aspects of rebetiko, which intellectual elites on both sides of the
Aegean Sea have adapted to their own world views in our age of
globalized consumption. Combining qualitative and quantitative
methods from ethnomusicology, ritual studies, conceptual history
and music psychology, Koglin casts light on the role played by
national perceptions in the processes of music production and
consumption. His analysis reveals that rebetiko persistently
oscillates between conceptual categories: it is a music both ours
and theirs, marginal and mainstream, joyful and grievous, sacred
and profane. The study culminates in the thesis that this semantic
multistability is not only a key concept to understanding the
ongoing popularity of rebetiko in Greece, and its recent
renaissance in Turkey, but also a fundamental aspect of the human
experience on the south-eastern borders of Europe.
