Are Turkish Dramas Evading Our Culture
Are the foreign dramas evading our culture
The foreign dramas are attacking our culture and these are not according to our culture
After a contentious time of the Indian dramas, now numerous Turkish plays are giving rise to curious hype not only in our television drama industry but also in the minds of the general public. As a matter of fact, it is true that our local drama production is invoking the interests of thousands and millions of viewers and most of these spectators are finding these plays appealing enough to follow. However, in recent times it has been noticed that some foreign television content is trying to induce a substantial place in our country.
Unfortunately, somehow a Turkish serial “ISHQ-E-Mamnoon” was aired out and after a few weeks it ended up by getting exultant high ratings. After the broadcast of this particular play, a slipstream is started among the different TV channels to get foreign content and present to the public, in order to gain high ratings. When broadcasters and people are basking this dubbed “so called” change, they forgot to think all this activity is turning out to be a veridical threat to the local industry as well as the integrity and culture of our nation.
There is also a small group of people who is trying to back up these serials, but I think these people might disremember what Indian dramas have done with our acculturation in the recent past. Because of these plays, our adolescents (especially girls) have started out to follow their language. In fact, several words were became the part of their vocabulary and they used these words into their normal discussions. After ascertaining the severity of this issue our civil society and television industry have taken some measures and banned all the Indian channels.
But now we have to cope with another scourge which is a lot more dangerous than the previous one. We need to observe what sort of message these Turkish dramas are trying to convey? Are the stories of these

    Dallas was launched to Europe in the 1980s. Before it was launched to Europe, the ideal mission for European television was has generally been perceived as educational. According to Ang’s essay, “(Not) Coming to Terms With Dallas, most European critics believed that television should be a “window on the world” for the mass audience, and should enhance people’s awareness of their duties as national citizens. Yet, Dallas, being an American commercial television soap opera, is totally different from the European critics’ notion of “quality programs”. Today, many people believe that Dallas has led to the commercialization of European television, which is frequently cited as a metaphor for the decline of classical European culture. Similarly, the intrusion of the Japanese culture to the Chinese culture since the early 90s also serves as the primary reason of the loss of patriotism among many Chinese people.…

    “The best way of spreading and imposing culture, political behaviour and literature to other states is cinema” my father always says. Then he adds: “For instance, America introduced emperialism and it’s ‘power’ to the whole World via American movies”. Previously, i was not be able to comprehend that, however, after I started being interested in cinema, i realised that gradually. In World history, the first movie was made by the “Lumiere Brothers”, it was just a view of a train entering the station in Paris. In November 1914, during the Ottoman Empire and Russian war, Russian soldiers erected a monument in Ayastafanos (Yeşilköy), Istanbul, and Ottoman army’s reserve officer Fuat Uzkınay recorded that monument with his camera. This historical document is accepted as the “first Turkish movie.” Afterwards, shooting war or document films continued until the last years of the war -1917,1918-, they were related to the supreme commander or Sultans’ private and official lives. After the foundation of the ‘Turkish Republic’, all languages except Turkish were prohibited by force with the Maintenance of Order (Takrir-i Sükûn). There would not be existence of other public except ‘Turks’. Futhermore, with the Zilan massacre (Şark Islahat Planı) which was signed by Mustafa Kemal, the Kurdish language was banned and if one talked Kurdish he/she would be punished. However, What was the role of art during this troublesome process? What kind of works were made in Turkish cinema? How were the ‘Kurds’ and the ‘Kurdish issue’ involved in Turkish cinema? We can divide the “Kurdish issue in Turkish cinema” into three sections: Kurds non-existence 1950s-1960s, uncertainty situation 1970s-1980s, development and solution process 1990s, 2000s.…

    Since the television was invented in 1924, news and current affair programs have become one of our main media sources. These sources attempt to inform on the cultural, political and social events of current importance and interest. However, through analysis of construction, it becomes evident that current affairs do not present true fact, instead show a representation of reality that is of interest to its target audience. The Current affair segment “Bali Nine Death Row” on Sunday Nights, presents a controversial issue that focuses on the current lives of the men whom were involved in a drug related crime taken place on the 17th April 2005. This segment successfully informs us on this issue as well as entertaining us, through presenting issues of interest rather than issues that are current news, focusing on the dramatic story of the death sentence and highlighting areas such as their family and their future in order to receive an emotional response from the target audience. The construction of this segment is a vital aspect in persuading the audience to react in a way that reflects the Channels ideology towards the issue, and through the use of techniques such as interviews, camera shots, written text and inclusive language, the audience is not only positioned to view an issue in a certain way, but is informed about it in an entertaining way that is of interest to them.…

    TRT INT is the international TV-station of the Turkish state-owned broadcasting system TRT. It broadcasts ‘the best of - ‘ programs (read: archived material) of the six national TRTstations from countries where there are large Turkish populations. Taken into consideration that the main aim of any international TV-station is a hidden form of state propaganda (just like RAI UNO from Italy, TVE Internacional from Spain and ERT from Greece), TRT INT goes a step further. This station not only wants to present the Turkish viewers abroad with a Turkey of an immaculate prehistory, including racially pure norms and values which are presently no longer existing in (larger parts of) Turkey. The station also creates a matriarchy in which it exercises a subtle form of social control over the Turkish viewers abroad, who have supposedly fallen into an identity crisis. TRT INT offers help to expatriates in order to retain Turkish culture, language, religion and traditions through documentaries, films, talk shows and music programmes. Furthermore, it informs the foreign Turkish viewers on topics such as law, legislation and social services in Turkey and Western Europe. First generation Turks especially agree with the point of view represented by TRT INT, because these foreign labourers still live with the idea of returning to the country of their birth. Cemil (59), working at a computer company, considers the programs as essential. “Perhaps because it is still in the back of my mind to return one day. Dutch television does not appeal to me, but neither does TNT, I must say. That is a…

    Television broadcast catering to the Indian community in Singapore has undergone several changes over the past few decades. From a mere one-hour belt with a shared channel, to becoming Singapore’s standalone Indian channel, Vasantham, Singapore’s first full-fledged Indian channel has propelled itself to become one of the most-watched television channels among the Indian diaspora not only in Singapore, but also in the Malaysian state of Johor Bahru. It has played a significant role in bridging ties for a more close-knit Indian community in Singapore. My paper tracks Vasantham’s chronology to its present state, the programmes that seek to inform and educate its target audience with their…
