“…The success of Turkish TV series in the global market was also explained by the generic proximity concept which presents a familiar format for transnational audiences in the soap opera structure of these series (Kaptan and Algan, 2020). However, proximity is not the only factor that has contributed to the global success of Turkish TV series (Özalpman and Sarikakis, 2018; Kaptan and Algan, 2020). National and global television market dynamics (Yeşil, 2015) also play a significant role in this success.…”

This study explores the reception of selected melodramas and their cosmopolitan imaginary, based on a large-scale qualitative study consisting of 79 in-depth interviews with young Turkish audiences across three locations: the metropolis Istanbul, the rural town of Emirdağ, and Brussels which has a large Turkish diasporic community. In the past two decades, melodramas representing the upper-class, elite, westernized lifestyles taking place in luxury residences in Istanbul's urban landscape occupy a central space in the Turkish series as an example of cosmopolitan imaginary in their representation and mode of production. The study reveals that the cosmopolitan imaginary of these TV series leads participants to negotiate Turkish modernity, westernized secular, upper-class lifestyles, Turkish values, religion, and identity issues in these settings and destabilizes a uniform and fixed understanding of their identity and imagined community.
