“…This translated in media and communication studies in the region, adopting similar views where media in the centre produced content that was consumed in the periphery and with it exercised hegemonic control by reproducing ideology. Perhaps the most emblematic of these studies was the work done on Walt Disney’s influence on Latin American audiences, titled ‘To Read Donald Duck’ (Dorfman and Mattelart, 1978), but others such as the seminal work of Marta Colomina de Rivera (1968) titled ‘The alienating guest’ on the ideological effects of television on children, preceded it by a decade.…”

Although today media and communication studies across Latin America are closely linked to critical sociology, this was not always the case. In this article, we explore how the interaction between social communication (which includes communication and media studies) and critical sociology, in the Latin American context, evolved over time. In so doing, we examine how, and in which directions, media theory has developed and how it relates profoundly with critical sociology. This piece is an attempt to summarize this process and look at current contributions that propose more inclusive and participatory media. The key argument that it took a long time for Latin America’s media studies to link itself with critical sociology but once that happened, it produced a distinctive school of thought that is counter-hegemonic and directs itself towards the contestation of power and oppression by linking itself with the popular.

“…For decades, scholars and activists have been tracing ways in which Western texts and images depicted ‘Africa’ through the racialised lens of the colonial ‘other’,5 resulting in a number of negative and stereotyped ideas, such as Africa as an accumulation of misery, as an uncivilised dangerous space requiring external moderation, and a complete opposite: a vast savannah in which people and animals live in harmony 6–8. Many of these imaginaries of Africa have been perpetuated and even invigorated by the entertainment industry—particularly via movies and cartoons9—leading to what is sometimes called the ‘disneyfication’ of the continent with prime examples being The Lion King , Tarzan or the Madagascar series. A recent analysis of 50 movies produced over a span of 100 years showed three main tropes of how the continent has been portrayed: ‘the wild Africa’ without urban settlements; ‘the exotic colonial city’, emphasising the street markets and westerners encountering the mysterious ‘other’; and, ‘the Afropessimist city’ underlining urban poverty, corruption and violence 10…”

“…During the 1970s and 1980s, Western media products, particularly American movies and TV series, dominated global media flows and consumption across continents (Schiller, 1976; 1991; Dorfman and Mattelart, 1975). Yet, U.S. exports of television began to decline in the 1970s and 1980s in some countries in response to local competition (Straubhaar, 1991: 45).…”

The transnationalization of the Turkish television industry, which began in the late 1990s, has been continuing with enormous success with Turkish TV series now being exported to more than 150 countries. In both introductions to the double special issue, we contextualize television in Turkey as a significant cultural field of production within its historical background and trace the transnational trajectory of Turkish dramas in Turkey and abroad. By focusing on the tensions and transformations spurred by the global presence of Turkish television, we critically examine what it means both for global audiences to consume and for the industry to produce Turkish dramas in the contemporary global televisual landscape. In the first volume (Issue 3) of this double special issue, the contributors reflect on the reception of Turkish TV series as well as their global and local consumption networks. In the second volume (Issue 4), the manuscripts explore the consequences of the industry practices and perceptions around what travels well along with nation-states' interventions and influences.
