On a BBC story on the success of Turkish TV shows in South America…

http://ift.tt/2c2YdHI

In a conference 3 years ago,in Skopje, Macedonia, someone from the audience stood up and yelled us, 2 academics from Turkey, claiming that Turkish TV shows are making Macedonians stupid. That was the first instance I realized how big this TV show industry has become.

Attributes of cultural similarities are interesting and I believe they are valid to a certain extent. In a sense, there are also political similarities in a twisted sense: When Latin American TV shows were popular in Turkey – back in 1980s, I was in love with Isaura as a child- most of producing countries were in political instability. Now Turkey is politically struggling while her TV shows all around the globe.
News author’s approach is too positive on the government’s approach to TV industry. Most of these TV shows are blamed to be “immoral”. There is a heavy taxation etc pressure on TV companies and they cancel some of these shows. I began to think, they are still produced because they can create revenues in exports so that they can survive domestically.
I assume there will also be some studies about the work conditions. Apart from the top artists who earn well expectedly, the work hours are too long and salaries are not. Turkey may end up collapsing this unexpectedly successful industry. A student of mine who acted in extra roles did quiet along with many of her friends because of the deteriorating work conditions…
Just a few bits from me:)

Unlikely story

A look at the reasons behind the growing success of Turkish TV shows in South America, where they are now viewed by millions of people.

As the two Turkish TV characters sat on a beach at night and looked into each other’s eyes, millions of viewers in South America held their breath.

“I’m afraid of losing you,” said Kerim, gently embracing Fatmagul and stroking her hair.

“You don’t have a reason to be afraid,” Fatmagul answered, looking at him with poignant eyes before they kissed….

New Turkey: A staunchly pro-AKP columnist, C.K. threatened columnist Ahmet Hakan with death…

http://ift.tt/1VN5mL3

 

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş has condemned the violence that has enveloped the country and resulted in numerous attacks against his party’s buildings, warning perpetrators about the consequences of their actions.
‘We could crush you like a fly if we want. We have been merciful until today and you are still alive,’ said Cem Küçük, a pro-AKP columnist of daily Star, said in an article addressing daily Hürriyet columnist Ahmet Hakan
Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş has become the first senior government official to condemn consecutive violent attacks targeting daily Hürriyet, describing them as “very awful.”
The United States Embassy to Turkey has expressed its concerns over violent demonstrations in Turkey and condemned attacks against political parties and ethnic groups.
A newscaster working for a local TV channel in the Marmara province of Bursa has reported in military uniform, in a move to stand by the security forces fighting against the outlawed PKK in the country’s eastern and southeastern regions.

Turkey’s opposition parties and media have both been subjected to slings and arrows thrown by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who suggested the stance they have displayed in the face of rising violence in the country served to favor terrorism
Amid ongoing terror attacks by the outlawed PKK, a group of Turkish nationalists accidentally beat one of its own members on the presumption that he was Kurdish, Turkish media have reported
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and two opposition parties have warned the public of possible provocations in separate statements issued as Turkey moves toward a Nov. 1 election amid a tense climate
Nationalists in the southwestern Turkey have reportedly forced a Kurdish man to kiss a statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as a ‘punishment’ for a social media message he posted
A number of anti-terror marches in Turkey turned violent late Sept. 8, with ultranationalist protesters attacking the headquarters of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) in Ankara, as well as its office in another Central Anatolian province.
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) is busy working on its upcoming congress during which its highest decision-making body, the Central Decision and Executive Board (MKYK), is expected to be overhauled. The party is also in the process of drafting its candidate list for the Nov. 1 snap election
We live in days that can be frightening and amusing at the same time, days when the ruling classes defy any limit in self-ridicule, logic or reason.
Only two days after Turkey lost 16 of its soldiers in a heinous attack by the outlawed PKK in Dağlıca in southeastern Hakkari province, 14 police officers were massacred in an explosion on Sept. 8 in eastern Iğdır, on the border with Azerbaijan’s Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic.
Daily Hürriyet’s Istanbul headquarters was pelted with stones by a group of club-swinging pro-AKP supporters on Sept. 8, less than 48 hours after a similar attack and amid a lack of police security. Four gunshots were heard as protesters approached the newspaper.
U.K. Ambassador to Turkey Richard Moore has swiftly condemned an attack against daily Hürriyet’s Istanbul headquarters and Ankara offices, urging respect for the rule of law.
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the CHP, has issued a call for all Turkish citizens to act with common sense in the face of growing public outrage against escalating acts of terror
Daily Hürriyet sets out to investigate why refugees, many of them children, keep drowning in the waters of the Aegean on their way to Greece.

Ethnographic Field Data 3: Preserving and Sharing Ethnographic Data

[This is the final post in a three-part series on archiving and sharing fieldwork data.]

Lisa Cliggett: How can we archive all this data? 

Two years ago, I worked with Lisa Cliggett on an NSF-sponsored project to curate 60 years of anthropology projects in the Gwembe Tonga region of Zambia, a complex pilot project that involved anthropologists, campus IT, librarians, and a gullible library school student then-willing to work for free (me!). We experimented with ways to curate Lisa’s field records in a digital library using Greenstone and Drupal. Our goal was a small teaching archive that undergraduates could use to better understand the processes involved in fieldwork–something that could be built into a larger archive over time.

Hello all,

Welcome to round three of DERG! We’ve got an article by Helen Kennedy this week, entitled ‘Technobiography: Researching lives on and off’. It takes a bit of a different approach to earlier readings, but is an interesting read that will hopefully get us all thinking about how we conceptualise digital experiences.

Ancient DNA Links Early Farmers to Basques
