Book Review
Occidentalism in Turkey: Questions of Modernity and National Identity in Turkish Broadcasting
2013
Overview
Here, the particular temporality of a \"frantic stagnation\"-in a more psychological reading of the term coined by Paul Virilio in his general(izing) deliberations on television-is for the first time put into a solid theoretical, historical and empirical framework and shown to characterize the political and media scenario in Turkey till today. While pointing to the large absence of news broadcasts, the chapter focuses on the effort to construct a \"pure\" voice, chiefly through the marginalization of Oriental alaturka music and the shaping of Greek, Armenian, and Kurdish songs into \"a new genre of Turkish folk music\" (85).\\n Women got to speak \"as 'real' persons\" (160) in the radio dramas, which signified Ankara Radio's privileging of fiction over factual output and thus of fantasy over reality.
