Media narratives and modern, trans-border, conceptualizations of the kurds, Kurdistan And Kurdish identity in Kurdistan

Abstract

This research will identify in the realm of Kurdish media studies a conceptualisation which is generally less remarked upon in order to explore potential novel epistemological interpretations and seismic shifts conspicuously noticeable in redefined understandings of self and trans-border national unity . Technological developments have helped a large community who subscribe to the Kurdish identity to explore the farther corners of Kurdish planet. Kurdish people, with the aid of media and technology, are re-imagining the dimensions of their identities, similarities, differences, cultures, geography and homelands with the hope of eradicating obscurities that might obliterate the unique feelings of unity and nationhood. Proliferation of media and its availability to the masses of people in Kurdistan has dramatically transformed the cultural and political scene in Kurdistan. Kurdish Media and the drastic political shifts in Iraq and the Kurdistan region of Iraq since 2003 have largely transformed the Kurdish to learn more about their brethren in other parts of Kurdistan
