For migrant communities residing outside of their home countries,
various transnational media have played a key role in maintaining,
reviving and transforming ethnic and religious identities. A vital
element is how media outlets report and represent ethno-national
conflict in the home country. Janroj Yilmaz Keles here examines how
this plays out among Kurdish and Turkish communities in Europe. He
offers an analysis of how Turkish and Kurdish migrants in Europe
react to the myriad mediated narratives. A vital element is how
media outlets report and represent the ethno-national conflict
between the Turkish state and the Kurdish PKK.Janroj Yilmaz Keles
here offers an examination of how Turkish and Kurdish migrants in
Europe react to the myriad narratives that arise. Taking as his
starting point an analysis of the nature of nationalisms in the
modern age, Keles shows how language is often a central element in
the struggle for hegemony within a state. The media has become a
site for the clash of representations in both Turkish and Kurdish
languages, especially for those based in the diaspora in Europe.
These 'virtual communities', connected by television and the
internet, in turn influence and are influenced by the way the
conflict between the Turkish state and subaltern Kurds is played
out, both in the media and on the ground.By looking at first,
second and third generations of Turkish and Kurdish populations in
Europe, Keles highlights the dynamics of migration, settlement and
integration that often depend on the policies of each settlement
country. Since these settlement states often see the proliferation
of such media as an impediment to integration, Media, Diaspora and
Conflict offers timely analysis concerning the nature of diasporas
and the construction of identity.
