Abstract

The viewing of Turkish soap operas in Greece is a stigmatized activity not only for reasons intrinsically related to the nature of soap operas per se, but also for reasons related to the historical past and the traditionally troubled diplomatic relationship between the two countries. Based on the data gathered during an audience ethnography, the author analyzes the use of Information and Communication Technologies made by the fans of these transnational soap operas. Online fan communities function as havens for their members as, in these communities, the norms which are dominant within the Greek society are not rigidly adhered to, stigmatized viewing preferences are endorsed by like-minded individuals and prevalent ideologies can be challenged without fear of criticism in a sympathetic, nonprejudiced environment.

数字时代的跨国肥皂剧和观看实践:土耳其电视剧的希腊迷团

在希腊观看土耳其肥皂剧是一种被污名化的活动，这不仅是因为与肥皂剧本身本质有关的原因，也是因为与历史过去和两国传统上陷入困境的外交关系有关的原因。基于在观众民族志期间收集的数据，作者分析了这些跨国肥皂剧的粉丝对信息和通信技术的使用。在线粉丝社区是其成员的避风港，因为在这些社区中，希腊社会中占主导地位的规范没有得到严格遵守，被污名化的观看偏好得到了志同道合的个人的认可，流行的意识形态可以在一个富有同情心、不受审查的环境中受到挑战，而不用担心受到批评。
