Following a conference held in Paris in October 2014 on Turkish series, this collection of articles deals with the success of these televised fictions, especially during its peak between 2007 and 2014. The articles contained here analyse the reasons for this success and offer ways to understand these programmes. This introduction presents the Turkish audiovisual landscape, in order to explain what made this triumph possible as well as the effects of these exportations to neighbouring countries. The authors discuss the diffusion of a “soft power Turkish fashion” via the series and how each article in this collection, each from a different angle, responds to the questions raised.
