Abstract
This chapter and the next will look at the satellite television channel Kurdistan TV (henceforth, KTV) to investigate the ways in which this channel is used in the construction and articulation of Kurdish identity. I will specifically focus on discursive practices that are deemed essential in constructing a pan-Kurdish sentiment, by which I mean the creation of a sense of belonging to one people or nation, the Kurds, and their homeland, Kurdistan. Analyses will be carried out according to the CDA method for analyzing media discourse that I have introduced in previous chapters. The analysis takes place at three levels: discourse practices analysis (this chapter), textual analysis (the next chapter), and sociocultural analysis (conclusion chapter).
