Abstract

While conspiracy theories have traditionally received attention from the Turkish public and political elite, recently, however, they have proliferated when explaining complex situations. This paper examines conspiracy theories in Turkey and the role of entertainment media, specifically the popular period drama, Payitaht: Abdülhamid, in mainstreaming conspiracy theories. Payitaht: Abdülhamid, as an ideological state apparatus, repurposes anti-Semitism as salient conspiracy theories by creating scapegoats and existential others. This paper argues that the state uses entertainment media to disseminate conspiracy theories and, in effect, endorses anti-Semitism. As a result, anti-Semitism has transformed from a marginal movement to a mainstream movement.

土耳其公共广播电台 TRT 的反犹太主义主流化：审视 Payitaht：阿卜杜勒哈米德

虽然阴谋论历来受到土耳其公众和政治精英的关注，但最近，在解释复杂局势时，阴谋论却大行其道。本文探讨了土耳其的阴谋论以及娱乐媒体，特别是流行年代剧《Payitaht：阿卜杜勒哈米德》在阴谋论主流化方面的作用。Payitaht：作为一种意识形态国家机器，《Payitaht: Abdülhamid》通过创造替罪羊和存在他人，将反犹太主义作为突出的阴谋论重新加以利用。本文认为，国家利用娱乐媒体传播阴谋论，实际上是在为反犹太主义背书。因此，反犹太主义已从边缘运动转变为主流运动。
