    A discursive analysis of the directorate of communications’ media contents
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2021) Özer, Asya; Özçetin, Burak
    ABSTRACT: In this study, it is investigated how official authority reinterprets and reconstructs history, and how these reconstructions contribute to the formation of political and ideological boundaries. The study focuses on why the Directorate of Communications rewrite the history in the context of current politics and interests by providing an in-depth analysis of the structure, communication, and propaganda activities of the Directorate of Communications. Using critical discourse analysis, the study examines historical video contents of Directorate of Communications: “Red Apple Anthem”, “Blue Homeland Anthem”, and “Sarıkamış Anthem”. The video contents are analyzed through the perspective of neo-Ottomanism and memory studies, with a focus on the construction of a new collective memory and identity as a counter to the Kemalist regime’s institutions, values, and symbols. Consequently, the study demonstrates that the Ottoman nostalgia has established a new collective memory and the Directorate of Communications uses the neoOttomanist narrative for propaganda purposes.
