Kurdish Identity, Discourse, and New Media (Palgrave MacMillan Series in International Political Communication): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Kurdish Identity, Discourse, and New Media (Palgrave MacMillan Series in International Political Communication)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Informed by the interdisciplinary approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and theories of identity, nation, and media, the study investigates the ways Kurds, the worlds largest stateless nation, use satellite television and Internet to construct their identities. This book examines the complex interrelationships between ethno-national identities, discourses, and new media. Not only does offer the first study of discursive constructions of Kurdish identity in the new media, this book is also the first CDA informed comparative study of the contents of the two media. The study pushes the boundaries of the growing area of studies of identity, nationalism and transnationalism, discourse studies, minority language, and digital media.

PALGRAVE MACMILLAN SERIES IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL COMMUNICATION

Series editor: Philip Seib, University of Southern California (USA)

From democratization to terrorism, economic development to conflict resolution, global political dynamics are affected by the increasing pervasiveness and influence of communication media. This series examines the participants and their tools, their strategies and their impact. It offers a mix of comparative and tightly focused analyses that bridge the various elements of communication and political science included in the field of international studies. Particular emphasis is placed on topics related to the rapidly changing communication environment that is being shaped by new technologies and new political realities. This is the evolving world of international political communication.

TRANSLITERATION

Since this study is addressed to audiences who may not be familiar with Kurdish and other Middle Eastern languages, transcription and transliteration are reduced to a minimum. English translation of Kurdish texts is provided without transcription of the original text whenever possible. Anglicized names have not been transliterated; for example, the name of an Iranian Kurdish filmmaker has been written as Ghobadi instead of its romanized Kurdish transliteration Qubad. However, when the same name (i.e., Ghobadi) is part of a transliterated text, the Kurdish version of the name (i.e., Qubad) is used. To transcribe Kurdish texts, I have used the Latin-based writing system that has been in use since the 1930s predominantly among Kurds from Turkey and Syria. This system has been used for the transcription of personal and geographical names, title of publications, television programs and websites, and parts of texts that are transliterated for the purpose of illustrating specific aspects of textual analysis. Romanization is done according to the following list of transliteration.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction

Although a number of scholars predicted the demise of nationalism and nation in the age of globalization nationalism has been identified as one of the most powerful forces in the modern world (Hutchinson & Smith, 1994, p. 3, see also Anderson, 1991; Billig, 1995; Hall, 1993; MalePicture 4eviPicture 5, 2006). Whereas previously nationalism was primarily viewed as the architect of the modern nation-state from the late eighteenth century onward (Deutsch, 1966, 1953; Gellner, 1997, 1983; Hobsbawm, 1990, 1988; Kedouri, 1993; Smith, 1998), its surge in recent decades has been seen as a response to the need for collective identities. Many scholars believe that nationalism is a force and resource promoting national identities both in nation-states (Billig, 1995; Calhoun, 1997; Madianou, 2005; Wodak, de Cillia, Reisigl & Liebhart, 2009) and also among nations without states (Castells, 1997; Kane, 2000; Guibernau, 1999, 1996).
