- Abstract
In addition to its functions such as news and information, educating, entertaining and forming a public opinion; television, a widely used mass media device, is a rather influential tool that can be effective on the perceptions, attitudes, value judgments and behaviour patterns of the audience and contribute to the formation of social reality. The discourses on television gain legitimacy over time by being cultivated in the minds of the audience. Thus, discourses that contain violence and aggression -which are widely and repeatedly presented on television-may cause such thoughts and behaviours to be gotten used to by society. With the highest viewing rate amongst television programs, TV series provide the transfer of ideologies and attitudes to the audience in an artistic attraction environment through representations, meanings and discourses. Revenge, which is defined as a personal reaction that an individual develops as a result of being wronged or thinking that he has been wronged, is considered a problematic behaviour that includes violence and aggression; but it is frequently emphasized in TV series. In this study, the revenge discourse in the TV series Ezel, broadcasted on channels Show TV and ATV between 2009 and 2011, was analysed using the discourse analysis method developed by Van Dijk. As a result of the study, it was seen that the series was based on the theme of revenge and the discourse of revenge was widely used. Moreover, it is concluded that the rhetoric of the series is based on the discourse that justice and equalization can only be possible through revenge. When evaluated in the context of the effect of the media on social ideology and consciousness, the revenge discourse, heavily featured in the series, has the potential to affect the audience's understanding of rights and justice negatively.
