The Sung Home tells the story of Kurdish singer-poets (dengbejs) in
Kurdistan in Turkey, who are specialized in the recital singing of
historical songs. After a long period of silence, they returned to
public life in the 2000s and are presented as guardians of history
and culture. Their lyrics, life stories, and live performances
offer fascinating insights into cultural practices, local politics
and the contingencies of state borders. Decades of oppression have
deeply politicized and moralized cultural and musical production.
Through in-depth ethnographic analysis Hamelink highlights the
variety of personal and social narratives within a society in
turmoil. Set within the larger global stories of modernity,
nationalism, and Orientalism, this study reflects on different
ideas about what it means to create a Kurdish home.
