Television in Turkey (eBook, PDF)

Local Production, Transnational Expansion and Political Aspirations

Redaktion: Kaptan, Yesim; Algan, Ece

Beschreibung

This edited collection takes a timely and comprehensive approach to understanding Turkey's television, which has become a global growth industry in the last decade, by reconsidering its geopolitics within both national and transnational contexts. The Turkish television industry along with audiences and content are contextualised within the socio-cultural and historical developments of global neoliberalism, transnational flows, the rise of authoritarianism, nationalism, and Islamism. Moving away from Anglo-American perspectives, the book analyzes both local and global processes of television production and consumption while taking into consideration the dynamics distinctive to Turkey, such as ethnic and gender identity politics, media policies and regulations, and rising nationalistic sentiments.

Rezensionen

"The subject is of immense interest and value to today's academic and public discussion of media, transnationalism, and localism. ... Television in Turkey provides a diverse but connected account of a complex subject. It draws its analyses from various contents ... . it will be of immense value to students, researchers and academics, and journalists interested in Turkish television studies, its transnational and global expansion, and those interested in media and gender studies in general." (Mohammed Alrmizan, Contemporary Review of the Middle East, Vol. 8 (3), September, 2021)

"This much-needed collection fills a void in television studies and is an important addition to the analysis of transnationalisation. The chronicling of the complex interplay of local, transnational, and political is perfectly reflected in the title Television in Turkey:Local Production, Transnational Expansion, and Political Aspirations." (Nazan Haydari, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 16, (2), 2021)
