Summary: This paper examines the Turkish TV serial (dizi) as a field of hegemonic struggle in light of two broadly divergent trends that appear to have emerged in recent years. The first, which I conceptualize as a strategic assault, is exemplified by the convergence of message between Directorate of Communication videos for a variety of campaigns and government-aligned \u2018historical\u2019 serials. While notions of the active viewer attest to the interpretive play between the encoding and decoding of media texts, the use of overt propaganda seems to introduce a third term to this relation in a particularly clear attempt to interpellate the would-be citizenry of ‘New Turkey’ ‘through a sort of full-spectrum dominance of the airwaves\u2014a phenomenon linked to what I have elsewhere called prescriptive activation. The second trend, which I conceptualize as a tactical retreat, is demonstrated in the flourishing of new approaches to the series in video on demand, particularly projects developed by Netflix, PuhuTV, and BluTV. These pose a variety of alternatives to the path of \u2018New Turkey\u2019 through a host of strategies, but the one explored in depth here is the rise of meta-television.<\/p>\n\n
