Transnational Reception Research on Turkish Tv Dizis (Series): A Meta-Synthesis

Abstract

This study aims to analyse empirical research conducted in various countries on the reception of Turkish TV series (dizis) that have gained worldwide popularity. The purpose of the study is to enhance existing knowledge by comparing and synthesizing the findings and to provide a comprehensive perspective that can be used in practice. With the new millennium, Turkey ranked second in the world in TV series exports. In 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Republic, it has become a country exporting hundreds of dizis to more than a hundred countries. Turkish TV dizis, whose popularity is increasing daily, are reaching viewers worldwide through various platforms and influencing them. Without isolating local and universal cultural values from each other, Turkish TV dizis offer a transnational cultural acquaintance opportunity to audiences far and near. The soft power of TV dizis should be considered in Turkey’s culturally diversified tourist spectrum. Studies on the perception of Turkish TV dizis in various continents require meta-synthesis. Although these studies mainly emphasise the transnational success of Turkish TV dizis, negative criticisms are also encountered. According to the findings, even if there are geographical and religious differences, empirical research in the Google Scholar database shows a diverse reception of cultural proximity. Such a meta-synthesis is necessary to contribute to the global sustainable circulation of the dizis and their positive potential reception and impact.
