ABSTRACT:
This paper aims to present the results of our empirical research concerning the reception of Turkish television serials in Greece. More precisely, in this paper we tempt to approach the representations projected by the Turkish serial entitled “Futmagul’un suçu ne?” as well as their reception by the public in Greece. The serial in question provides a particular representation of rape: under the cover of a “feminist” ideal (the persecution of the man who raped into a trial) it conveys representations and archetypes that are in accordance with the dominant patriarchal organization and principles; therefore, it contributes to the legitimation of violence against women. Our analysis focuses on the reception of this serial by women in Greece. Our research revealed that the majority of women who were part of the sample, develop through their interpretation various strategies against patriarchate despite the fact that they do not always recognize the archetypical stereotypes projected by the serial in question.
