Abstract

Scarcity is the defining characteristic of television's history in Turkey due to the late arrival of a multi-channel structure, and the experience of television in Turkey is shaped by the extensive involvement of the government and the high level of social control over broadcasting. The dissatisfaction during the pre-streaming era among the audiences in Turkey started to intensify by early 2010s because of the formulaic and similar stories with no diversity, strict regulation and censorship, and the tediousness of long, slow-paced series and extended ad breaks. The arrival of streaming services in 2016–17 was initially disruptive of the strictly regulated market due to the lack of necessary laws for regulating online streaming. Streaming continues to be a significant alternative for producers/creators and audiences in Turkey, with increased political and cultural diversity in local stories and the emergence of diverse genres and formats with different aesthetic tendencies.

打破电视的链条:土耳其的流媒体和“Netflix效应”

由于多频道结构的姗姗来迟，稀缺是土耳其电视史的决定性特征，土耳其的电视经验是由政府的广泛参与和对广播的高度社会控制所塑造的。从2010年代初开始，土耳其观众对前流媒体时代的不满情绪开始加剧，因为故事千篇一律，缺乏多样性，监管和审查严格，剧集节奏缓慢，广告插播时间过长，令人厌烦。由于缺乏监管在线流媒体的必要法律，2016-17年流媒体服务的到来最初扰乱了严格监管的市场。流媒体仍然是土耳其制片人/创作者和观众的重要选择，当地故事的政治和文化多样性不断增加，不同类型和形式的出现具有不同的审美倾向。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
