In Turkey during Ramadan in the 2000s, a group of Sunni Muslims attacked a Kurdish Alevi family that was not fasting. The Alevis, Turkey's second‐largest religious group, do not fast during Ramadan, creating tensions in mixed neighborhoods in which Sunni Islam is the reigning religion. This article analyzes how an Alevi‐run television station covered this event, from its location in a provincial town to related protests in Istanbul, to show how minority media may partake in the reproduction of the dominant norms that perpetuate such discriminatory acts. They do so by producing a “presentist” temporal perspective on discrimination that prioritizes more contemporary problems of the minoritized community at the expense of a longer history of structural violence. In this case, this temporalization portrayed Alevis as exclusively Turks, neglecting, therefore, Kurdish Alevis, and it disguised the state's long‐term involvement in Alevis’ marginalization. This article presents an alternative perspective on minority media in anthropology, which often interprets state alignments as strategic leverage to defend community rights. The article argues that minority media producers can also be strategic in their alignments with their communities and may use this alignment as a façade when securing their ties with states.

在边缘代表宗教歧视：土耳其国家的临时性和“适当的”身份

在2000年代斋月期间，一群逊尼派穆斯林在土耳其袭击了一个没有禁食的库尔德Alevi家庭。土耳其第二大宗教团体阿勒维斯（Alevis）在斋月期间不禁食，在逊尼派伊斯兰教在位的混合社区中造成了紧张局势。本文分析了Alevi运营的电视台如何报道这一事件，从其在省级城镇中的位置到伊斯坦布尔的相关抗议活动，以显示少数族裔媒体如何参与再现使这种歧视性行为永久化的主要准则。他们这样做是通过对歧视提出一种“代表”的时间观点，这种观点优先考虑了少数群体社区的更多当代问题，而以结构性暴力的历史较长为代价。在这种情况下，这种暂时性将Alevis描绘为土耳其人，而忽略了 因此，库尔德·阿莱维斯（Kurdish Alevis）掩盖了该州长期参与阿莱维斯（Alevis）边缘化的情况。本文介绍了人类学中少数群体媒体的另一种观点，该观点通常将国家联盟解释为捍卫社区权利的战略手段。该文章认为，少数族裔媒体制作人在与社区的联盟中也可以采取战略措施，可以在与国家建立联系时以此为立面。
