Religious Broadcasting and the "Fantastic" Tele-Universe of Adnan Oktar's A9 TV (1MB)

Type of Research:	Article
Creators:	Emre Cetin, Berfin
Description:	Currently, religious broadcasting in Turkey is flourishing. Despite the variety it offers, religious broadcasting remains an under-investigated topic compared to other religious media. This paper analyses a particular form of religious broadcasting, televangelism, with particular reference to Adnan Oktar's television channel A9 TV. I argue that Adnan Oktar's televangelist practice stands at the margins of religious broadcasting and differs from other Islamic televangelists in various ways. I analyse both the visual and discursive characteristics of Oktar's televangelist practice.
