Beyond Aesthetics
Despite growing recognition that cultural legitimation is shaped by non-aesthetic values, we know little about how political and religious concerns enter cultural evaluation during periods of ideological conflict. This article examines critics’ efforts to legitimise art for conservative audiences in contemporary Turkey, where political Islam has sought to reshape cultural hierarchies. Drawing on a content analysis of cultural journalism between 2…

How do Conservative and Islamic Art Audiences Define Good Taste? Cultural Classifications at the Crossroads of Morality, Religion, and Politics in Turkey
This study explores how conservative/Islamic art audiences in Turkey describe and classify good taste in art and how their cultural repertoires inform their notions of 'us' and 'them'. Despite the significant popular attention conservative art and its associated taste communities have received with the rise of political Islam, little is known about how such art is understood by its audience or its position within existing taste hierarchies. Drawi…
Eating with children
This paper explores how the transition to parenthood reshapes foodwork in families by drawing on ethnographic, longitudinal research conducted with parents of young children in the southeast of England.It utilizes the conceptual framework offered by practice theory and unpacks how parents' interpretations, techniques, and emotions surrounding eating transform as feeding and eating become routinized.The findings demonstrate the profound influence …
A question of autonomy
The Islamic-conservative cultural sphere in Turkey has rapidly expanded during the 20-year rule of Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party. Despite popular debates regarding the rise of ‘conservative art’, academic studies have thus far limited their focus to the cultural policies and actions of the ruling power. Consequently, our understanding of cultural producers within this expanding sphere, their aesthetic viewpoints and their position withi…
Guilt and Beyond
Based on a longitudinal and ethnographic study, this research examines how women experience the emotional aspects of their maternal foodwork in England across social classes. Maternal foodwork is linked to guilt and anxiety due to intense gendered and class-related ideals of proper feeding within the context of responsibilising discourses. This article contributes to the literature by introducing a temporal perspective, exploring how emotions bey…

Exploring patterns of children’s cultural participation
Cultural participation during childhood significantly impacts an individual’s chances of future social mobility and well-being. Research to date has focused disproportionately on adults’ cultural practices, failing to comprehensively examine how children’s cultural participation is formed, structured and linked to their parents’. Drawing upon data from the Taking Part Survey, this article first examines the cultural profiles that emerge in childr…
How (not) to feed young children
This study unpacks how class processes shape understandings and practices of "good feeding" in families with young children. It brings a Bourdieusian class consumption focus together with food parenting studies and approaches feeding as encompassing a wide range of processes including cooking, shopping, and planning. To capture the lived experience of feeding work, the study draws on a longitudinal and ethnographic study conducted in the south-ea…
Do Omnivores Perform Class Distinction? A Qualitative Inspection of Culinary Tastes, Boundaries and Cultural Tolerance
This article explores the culinary taste repertoires of middle-class people in Turkey who can be defined as omnivores due to their routine engagement with 'lowbrow' food spaces. We aim to understand how they make sense of their boundary crossing and the extent to which this indicates tolerance. We find that our culinary omnivores develop interest in traditional food and tend to cross established boundaries between the traditional and modern to ma…
Narratives of ‘getting it right’
Broad changes taking place in the fashion scene are argued to blur social class distinctions and render class emulation theses less relevant to explain the dynamics of clothing consumption. Critically engaging with this literature, and drawing from Bourdieu, Goffman, and recent feminist literature on the formation of classed femininities, this article explores the extent to which women’s narratives of good taste in clothing are structured by clas…
Live or recorded? Reassessing the “decline of the highbrow arts” debate using European newspaper data, 1960–2010
Recent scholarship has argued that the concept of highbrow culture is undergoing radical changes, both in content and modes of appropriation. We introduce a new layer to this debate by bringing to the fore the format of the cultural product, distinguishing between “live” cultural products (concerts, exhibitions, live shows) and “recordings” (distributable items such as books or music albums). Using culture sections of newspapers (The Guardian, Le…
Enter Culture, Exit Arts?
Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology – the rise of the ‘cultural omnivore’, the fate of classical ‘highbrow’ culture, the popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture – deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data. This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial institution of cultural mediation – the culture sections…
Critics, politics and cultural legitimation
In this article, we draw on the growing Euro-American literature on cultural recognition, legitimacy, and film criticism and focus on the classificatory struggles taking place in the Turkish film field. We content-analyze the criteria that critics deploy as they review films as recognized by different institutions and actors. Multiple correspondence analysis demonstrates that the distinction between artistic and commercial films is still very pro…

Wearing class
This article examines how cultural capital shapes the ways Turkish women, both religiously covered and not covered, experience their ‘presented self’ in social interactions. The analysis draws on 44 in-depth interviews conducted as part of a larger project on embodiment of class in Turkey, using the parts where the interviewees reflect on the repercussions of different clothing and adornment tastes. It approaches clothing as an embodied practice …

Boundaries of Middle-Class Identities in Turkey
The aim of this paper is to provide an analytical account of the diversity within middle-class identities in Turkey by drawing on an inductive and interview-based investigation of boundary-making processes. Inspired by Lamont's framework, it explores the nature and content of drawn symbolic boundaries and relates the causes of the observed variations to the rapid changes in Turkey's socio-economic structure. The research challenges the homogeneou…
