In today's France, heated debates regarding Turkey's EU membership are turning into an essential part of European identity formation. Once again, the 'Turkish Other' functions as a mirror for defining not only the 'European Self', but also European values. By providing a genuine and multi-disciplinary approach for studying the Otherness attributed to Turkey, this book contributes to our understanding of the Self/Other nexus in International Relations. Within a Critical Discourse Analysis framework, this study explores the socio-historical basis of the construction of Turkey's Otherness in an attempt to identify the processes through which past memories, representations, images and fantasies regarding Turkey are inserted into the French social imaginary. Focusing on these significations, which are (re)produced and become manifest through language, this book strives to uncover the link between discourse and political action. 410 0$aDiscourse approaches to politics, society, and culture ;$vv. 39. 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xPolitical aspects 606 $aCommunication in politics 607 $aTurkey$xForeign public opinion, French 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 676 $a401/.4109561 700 $aTekin$b Beyza C?$01799976 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967007003321 996 $aRepresentations and othering in discourse$94344407 997 $aUNINA
