This book puts contemporary Turkish media under the microscope. It sheds light on current trends and debates in the fields of cinema, television and new media in Turkey, and considers different aspects of communications and mass media in the country in relation to up-to-date issues, ranging from film aesthetics and televised ideologies to new tendencies in marketing and journalism in a digitalized world. While the book is a collection of original research studies obtaining their data within different methodological approaches varying from content analysis to semiotics, the collection presents a critical and holistic view.

Barbara Nadel's gripping Ikmen mysteries are the inspiration behind The Turkish Detective, BBC Two's sensational eight-part TV crime drama series, out now. Inspector Ikmen and Inspector Suleyman return in Arabesk, Barbara Nadel's third novel in the gripping Inspector Ikmen series. Perfect for fans of Jason Goodwin and Adrian Magson. 'The delight of the Nadel book is the sense of being taken beneath the surface of an ancient city which most visitors see for a few days at most' - Independent When the wife of one of Istanbul's best known popular singers is found dead and his baby daughter missing, the newly promoted Inspector Suleyman, scion of one of Turkey's most aristocratic families, finds himself plunged into the magnificently vulgar, overblown world of Arabesk music, dominated by an ageing star, the monstrous chanteuse, Tansu. What readers are saying about Arabesk: 'Written with wit and style, her plotting and characterisation are as sharp and original as ever' 'A city and its crowded streets and ancient cultures come vividly alive - colours, sounds, smells, heat and dust lifting from the page' 'Packed to the gills with cultural insights'

If you ask historians, they would tell you that Akıncıs were divided into four groups: Deliler, Fedailer, Dalkılıçlar, and Serdengeçtiler. But if you ask an Akıncı, they would tell you that they were divided into five groups, including the four mentioned before and the Sessizler. Talking about the Sessizler was forbidden.

If you need to translate "Sessizler" into your language, it can be described as "The Silent Ones." Let me tell you their story...
