Conflict, fiction and identity: a multi-method study of the production, content and reception of Kurdish television fiction in a transnational context.

The general objective is to conduct a comparative study on the role of popular fiction – narrowed down here to popular fiction that is primarily produced for television – in the negotiation of pan-Kurdish identity against the background of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. Looking at popular fiction in a cohesive way, the project includes sub-studies (cf. research packages) on the production, content and reception of Kurdish fiction.
