Kimlik stratejileri olarak gençlerin müzik dinleme pratikleri: İstanbul'da sosyolojik bir çözümleme

Since 1980, we are moving from an industrial society towards a post-industrial society by the process of globalization. In this fragmented post-industrial society, measured by speed, which is at the same time overrun by the culture of consumerism, identity crises have emerged. This thesis has the aim of analyzing the social function of music, departing from the manner in which young people listen to music and the meaning they attribute to music. Starting with the functions of music in the matter of time and space, musical experience of people and how they can create a micro space are observed. Then, the significations and interactions about music and the functions of music in the lives of our interviewees as a way of building a social bond, or a way of self-distinction and also modes of sharing music are analyzed. At the end, musical consumption, identity strategies and also self-expression through listening to music have been interrogated.
