Translation and Popular Music

"Translation and Popular Music" is an academic book that explores the intersection between translation and popular music. It highlights how translations of popular music can contribute to the promotion of international relations, particularly in the context of the Turkish-Greek rapprochement over the past two decades. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical and sociocultural contexts in which music and translation interact. It examines the role of music in various forms, whether on paper, in audio formats, or online, and analyzes the different forms of accompanying translations. By incorporating various disciplines, including popular music studies, music sociology, ethnomusicology, social anthropology, comparative literature, and fan studies, it emphasizes the complex relationship between translation and music and their far-reaching effects on society and international relations.
