Television, History and Social Memory

Abstract

In the last years in Turkey, the near historical past or rather history of military coups that has been pushed to the social subconscious, repressed and unquestioned was opened to the discussion, first by the popular films then television series. The questioning, testimonies, and payoffs of the recent past through films and television series have required to be examined by the sociological perspective. Television is one of the basic tools for children, teenagers and adults to learn history. As well as how television touches and affects every point of everyday life, it changes perceptions of millions’ fictional and nonfictional historical events and personalities through television series. At this point, television turns out to be a decisive actor for the creation of social memory. Learned through television series, history also brings about the process of the construction of collective memory. Collective memory that has been made through remembering and forgetting has emerged as a sphere of conflict. Who remembers what and whose remembering finds a place and be the best wathced in television clearly indicates that social memory is a battlefield. It is also important that sometimes, new information has been added into social memory for a global goal. The most striking point that comes across that way in the relationship between television and history is the television's role in creating mutual challenges and opportunities. In this article that has analyzed the relationship between television, history and memory, how the highly commercialized television uses history and memory as a business area, and how such use linked to the culture industry will be assessed
