Abstract

Focusing on the increasing popularity of Turkish TV programmes in which miracles, morality, and virtue play prominent roles the author describes the re-enchantment of modern media in Turkey. Moreover, while in Turkey divides between the “religious” and the “secular” are assumed to be particularly stark, the TV programmes reveal a vibrant crossfertilization between Islamists and secularists.
