| Summary: | This article investigates the importance of Turkish film and television in preserving Turkishness among the Turkish-Australian diaspora. Turkish film and television are found to be crucial to diversifying constructions of Turkishness in the diaspora. Turkish media plays an important role in how Turkish-Australians perceive and imagine the homeland, as well as how they perceive and imagine their cultural identity as Turkish-Australians. In recent years, the consumption of Turkish film and television has become popular, particularly among the younger generation. There has been very little scholarly research done on the role that Turkish film and television play in constructing and reconstructing diverse Turkish identities. In this article I attempt to address this. |
