Media Representations of the Cultural Other in Turkey “Coming at a tumultuous period in modern Turkish history, when the political space for the ‘other’ appears to be ever-shrinking, this book provides a timely and interesting analysis of the cultural other in Turkey. Exactly who occupies the centre and how centre–periphery relations get played out in the media of TV, film, advertising, and cartoons are fascinatingly analysed by the author. This book will be of interest to scholars from a multitude of disciplines, as well as those with a general interest in Turkey’s socio-political structures.” —Edel Hughes, Middlesex University London, UK

Preface
This book contributes to the scholarship on Turkey’s cultural, social and political dynamics with a discussion on the depictions of the cultural other in the media particularly during the 2010s.

The representations illustrate the diverse ways in which distinct social agents imagine their
