Episode 1 of the CULCORC podcast series: Are media platforms making or breaking European identity?

Episode One of our CULCORC podcast series, on "Are media platforms making or breaking European identity?" has just been published, at https://soundcloud.com/culcorc/media-platforms-eumeplat

The three episodes of this podcast unravel the findings of the EUMEPLAT research project, which studies the platformisation of Europe. The podcast takes you to Türkiye, Portugal, the Czech Republic, and Poland. In various locations, from media archaeology labs to art house cinemas, we discuss how Europe is constructed.

This first episode delves into the EUMEPLAT research project itself, exploring its findings and the unique experiences encountered along the way, with Klára Odstrčilová, Nico Carpentier, Vaia Doudaki and Andrea Miconi.

The first stop on this intellectual exploration takes us to Ankara, the capital of Türkiye. At Bilkent University, the podcast starts with a conversation with the EUMEPLAT coordinator, unraveling the intricacies of the EUMEPLAT research project and offering insights into the challenges and rewards of collaborative work within a large consortium of research partners. Embarking on a symbolic journey to Anıtkabir, Atatürk's Mausoleum, the podcast then discusses the position of Türkiye, and its complicated relationship with Europe, as constitutive inside/outside.
