"This research offers a discourse-theoretical analysis of the construction of the militarist discourse in Turkish Cypriot children’s magazines, with a specific focus on the magazine Tuncer. The selected data for analysis consist of 14 issues published between January 1967 and December 1968. The ch

osen period is deliberate, aligning with crucial turning points in the Cyprus Problem, marked by heightened collective violence. To better understand the articulation of the militarist discourse within these issues of Tuncer, a theoretical model is developed drawing on Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory. The militarist discourse is seen to have 4 nodal points: (1) the army as a national protection assemblage, (2) obligated citizenship, (3) the sanctity of sacrifice, and (4) the need for the destruction of the enemy. The analysis demonstrates the presence of all 4 nodal points, with particular emphasis on the strength of the army as a national protection assemblage and the need for the destruction of the enemy. Furthermore, the contextualization within the Cyprus Problem unveils internal conflations, highlighting the deeply political nature of the militarist discourse." (Abstract)

"[...] the “comics” industry has never looked back. Not only do strip cartoons occupy an ever greater pkce in papers for adults, but a specialized press has developed for children, and today it is estimated that every American child reads, on an average, between 10 and 12 comic books’ a week.

In every countrg where the media of expression have come to play an important part in daily life, there has been a similar development in the press catering for children. The film and the radio also count children among their most faithful public. It is therefore not surprising that government authorities as well as educators in many countries have become concerned about the influence that press, film and radio can exert on growing minds. At its Fifth Session, in 1950, Unesco’s General Conference adopted a resolution authorizing the Director-General “to collect and disseminate information on the methods used or contemplated in various countries to protect children from the undesirable influence which may be exerted by the press, the radio and the film, and especially to improve children’s newspapers and literature”. For the purpose of this study we have chosen 12 countries that are characteristic of different civilizations-Belgium, France, the German Federal Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Stales and Uruguay [...] It has not been practicable to examine the position of the children’s press in every country, nor has it been possible to study every paper existing in the countries which we have taken as examples. Only those about which we have adequate information arid which seem to us especially typical have been considered." (Preface)
