Slow Watching in the Age of Binge and Reels
This article explores how young audiences in Turkey engage with the slow temporality of Turkish TV dramas ( dizi s) amid an era dominated by binge-watching and short-form video culture.

The “Guest” Who Refuses to Work, the “Terrorist” Who Contemplates Global Hunger
In her book that explores Turkish migrant organizations in Germany, sociologist Gökçe Yurdakul detects a historical transformation in the political representation of migrants and minorities from the 1970s through the 2000s. She marks six historical events that lead to this transformation: labor migration (1961–1972), the introduction of family reunification law (1973–1979), post-1980 military coup asylum seekers from Turkey (1980–1988), the fall …
L’amour mondial / la haine nationale
Cet article explore l’amour et le fandom d’un phénomène mondial de culture populaire dans un contexte national, la musique pop coréenne (la « K-pop ») et son immense succès auprès de la jeunesse turque. Récemment, le fandom de la K-pop – qui s’étend à l’amour des séries télé, de la langue et de la culture coréennes – a été décrit dans les médias turcs conservateurs comme une tendance « alarmante » qui ne cesse de gagner en popularité parmi les ad…

Through a close analysis this article aims to demonstrate number of recurring elements that are often determined by imaginations of race in European…

TV Series Production and the Urban Restructuring of Istanbul
This article explores the entangled relationship between Turkish TV series and the city of Istanbul examining both the series’ representation of the city and the effects of flourishing series’ production on the city. We argue that TV series production and representation changes and is changed by the urban restructuring of globalizing Istanbul since the late 1980s. Analyzing internationally popular series such as Noor, Valley of the Wolves, and 10…
Corporeal violence in art-house cinema
Taking 2009 Cannes Film Festival as a case study this article explores the narrative limits and possibilities of a global movement in art-house cinema: the portrayal of extreme corporeal violence – a movement that ranges from new French extreme to Asian extreme cinema. Cannes 2009 housed a collection of films that display extreme bodily violence, showing acts ranging from brutal rape and dismembering of the body to graphic scenes of torture, geni…
The urban renovation of Marseille in Luc Besson’s Taxi series
Similar to other post-industrial European cities, Marseille has been going through a process of intense urban renewal over the last 20 years. The symptoms of these changes were indicated in the action film series Taxi as early as the 1990s, when the renewal was beginning to take shape. Four films shot between 1998 and 2007, written and produced by Luc Besson, reflect the urgency felt by the government and commerce in Marseille to promote the city…
