| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation provides a sociocultural portrait of two marketplaces in Istanbul: the Grand Bazaar, reputedly the world’s oldest still-operating market, and ?stiklâl Street, the nineteenth-century boulevard once known as the Grande Rue de Péra. Sometime cosmopolitan hubs of an imperial capital with a non-Muslim majority, as Istanbul’s population has quadrupled during recent decades, these marketplaces have emerged as spaces where diverse rural-to-urban migrants are attempting to incorporate themselves into a service sector in the grip of economic reform. Based on documentary sources, oral history, and two years fieldwork, I examine how commercial life has transformed in these marketplaces since the late twentieth-century, years which have seen the Grand Bazaar develop into one of the world’s largest tourist sites and the nightlife market in Taksim become a crucible for youth subcultures, including an elaborate gay scene.
