[Commlist] CFP: transnationalization of turkish television series

Turkish television series have recently become a great phenomenon: With 
the rise of their popularity as of the 2010s, they have been among the 
most viewed programmes in the countries they are exported to. They have 
become a direct and “live” representation of Turkey turning into one of 
the prominent components of global presence and soft power. This 
doubtlessly creates a snowball effect that needs to be studied within 
the political, economic, cultural and social contexts. This call for 
chapters is for an edited book titled “TRANSNATIONALIZATION OF TURKISH 
TELEVISION SERIES”.

Turkey has the second place in global television series sales. Turkish 
television series have been named as /soap operas/ and /telenovelas/ in 
many countries. For the last two years, Turkish television series have 
been competing in the category of “best telenovela” in International 
Emmy Awards. However, in the meantime, more people are calling Turkish 
television series /Turkish dizis/ since it is becoming a brand by itself 
with its duration, production techniques, scenarios, and music.

This study aims to be a compilation of the current success of Turkish 
television series worldwide within the political, economic, cultural and 
social contexts. Manuscript submissions may address the following themes 
through a research-based approach. Contributors are to focus on a 
certain aspect or various aspects related to the worldwide broadcasting 
of Turkish television series on the following thematic areas in addition 
to other related themes with the above scope in mind:
