Özet
This paper is based on field S research on clubbing culture I carried out in Ankara and Istan- | bul between 2001 and 2003, which involved in-depth inter- views with clubbers, professional DJs, employees in dance clubs, a chief police officer from the Turkish International Academy Against Drugs and Organized Crime (TADOC), and one psychiatrist. Data on relations between consumption patterns of young people and clubbing were collected via interviews with clerks and the owners of the shops where clothes and accessories related to clubbing are sold in Ankara and Istanbul. Also examined were symbolic artifacts of club culture from flyers to magazines. The inform- ants with whom in-depth interviews were carried out were aged between 19 and 30. In 2009, other interviews carried out to update some particular data regarding to recent clubbing scene in Istanbul and Ankara.
