Abstract: This study argues that Orhan Pamuk’s Nobel Prize case provides fertile ground to understand the content of Turkish nationalist discourses from moderate to fanatic/radical. This paper also asserts that Turkish news media contributes both to the feelings of otherness and/or feelings of common identification with Orhan Pamuk through different nationalisms at the same time. This study, in which the representations of the Pamuk case were examined in Turkish press, looks at the way in which discursive strategies are employed to self-glorify Turkness and to construct the forms of otherness.
