Minor Empire is the subject of a Master’s Thesis by Cemrenur Unsur at the Musicology Department of Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey.

Her thesis, titled “Identity Construction in the Context of Reflexive Modernity: Example of ‘Minor Empire’”, talks about our approach to music, the philosophies we try to integrate in our music such as co-existence, our exploration of  identity vs. essence, authenticity, genuinity, as well as the subjects we take issues with such as function and categorization of foreign language music in an English-speaking country and orientalism.
