What does a study of modernity, not from the point of§view of official or high discourses or from the real conditions, but from the point of view of carnivalesque forms of popular culture tell us? How§do the representations in low discourses articulate§the power relations taken place in modern urban§space? Humour magazines in Turkey, far from being§just an escapist form of entertainment, have a long§history and almost always politically charged. A§study of popular humour magazines in Turkey shows us§both how the official-dominant discourses are§demystified and subverted but also the way the power§struggles operate through tastes, sexualities and§gendered bodies. This study through an analysis of§the representations of a popular humour magazine in§the early 1990 s context, shows that under the main§overriding theme of the duality of essence and appearance , modernity is signified as a§masquerade and a stake in the power struggles. And§bodies, sexuality and masculinity become the nodal§points and main spaces through which not only of§identity struggles of the social groups but also of§Turkish nation are represented.
