DİNİ YAYINCILIK VE ADNAN OKTAR'IN A9 TV'SİNİN "FANTASTİK" TELE-EVRENİ

Türkiye'de dini yayıncılık bugüne kadarki en parlak evresini yaşamaktadır. Ancak diğer dini medyadan farklı olarak ve sunduğu çeşitliliğe rağmen, hala yeterince incelenmemiş bir alandır. Bu makale, dini yayıncılığın formlarından biri olan televanjelizmi, Adnan Oktar'ın A9 TV kanalına yakından bakarak çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Adnan Oktar'ın televangelist pratiğinin dini yayıncılığın marjininde durduğunu ve diğer İslami televangelistlerden birçok yönüyle ayrıldığını savunuyorum. Bu makalede, Adnan Oktar'ın televangelist pratiğini hem görsel hem de söylemsel açıdan çözümlüyorum.

RELIGIOUS BROADCASTING AND THE 'FANTASTIC' TELE-UNIVERSE OF ADNAN OKTAR'S A9 TV

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.
