BEYOND THE IMAGINED COMMUNITY? Transnational medias and Turkish immigrants in Europe
The author studies cultural and media habits of Turkish-speaking communities in London, including Turks, Kurds and Cypriots. He analyses the way in which the proliferation of television channels in the 1990s enabled all Turks living in Europe to position themselves in relation to the twelve programmes broadcast from Ankara or Istanbul. He considers the birth of a new European cultural space, more suited to the complex realities of today's Europe, than the existing notion of national spaces.
