ABSTRACT

This article examines the simultaneous transformation in conservative politics, urban space, and taste following the foundation of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. The AKP represents a new conservative position by softening the Islamist triadic opposition to the capitalist market system, secular state, and material and cultural domination of the modern West. The changing conservative position and representation paved the way for the transformation of conservative middlebrow taste. Based on ethnographic research in a conservative upper-middle class neighborhood in Ankara, this article examines of the opening up of the closed world of the Islamist opposition to the infinite universe of commodities. Deploying Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual tools, it explicates the observed changes in conservative lifestyles as an outcome of the transformations in the political field, leading to the reconfiguration of conservative urban space and future expectations.

摘要

本文考察了土耳其正义与发展党 (AKP) 成立后保守政治、城市空间和品味的同步转变。正义与发展党通过软化伊斯兰主义者对资本主义市场体系、世俗国家以及现代西方的物质和文化统治的三元对立，代表了一种新的保守立场。保守的立场和代表性的变化为保守的中庸品味的转变铺平了道路。本文基于对安卡拉一个保守的中上阶层社区的民族志研究，考察了伊斯兰反对派的封闭世界对无限的商品世界的开放。部署 Pierre Bourdieu 的概念工具，
