Abstract

This study discussed whether the media is a tool that produces orientalist representations and whether the media is effective in the internalization of orientalism. The aim of the study is to identify the orientalist discourse in the language and culture of the media through discourse analysis method, and to discuss the effects of the media on the formation of self-orientalism as well as the instrumentality of the media on this issue. In the study, a sample of the documentary named Istanbul and Bristol in 1971 From Two Children's Point of View, which is a co-production of BBC-TRT, was taken, and the documentary was analysed with the orientalist discourse analysis method of Edward Said. As a result of the research, it was seen that the media has a discourse that alienates Eastern culture and is also a tool in the production and internalization of orientalism.
