    A Social Influence Perspective on Uses of Online Football Forums: The Case with Turkish Football Fans
    (Igi Global, 2017) Sayan, Anil; Gorgulu, Vehbi; Erhart, Itir; Aslanbay, Yonca
    This study aims to shed light on Turkish football forum users on the Internet from a social identity and uses and gratifications (U&G) perspective in order to reveal joint intentions among football fans online. The research model of the current study applies a uses and gratifications approach to examine whether fan motivations while using online football forums determine we-intentions among forum members. Social influence processes are also essential in the context of research on online forums, since they determine changes in attitudes and actions produced by the virtual social influence that may occur at different levels. Findings reveal uses and gratifications of football forum participation as maintaining interpersonal interconnectivity, generating entertainment and purposive value along with affective social identity construct determined we-intention among forum users.

    Ladies of Besiktas: A dismantling of male hegemony at Inonu Stadium
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2013) Erhart, Itir
    Founded by four friends in 2006, the fan group Ladies of Besiktas are supporters of one of the largest football clubs in Turkey, with hundreds of active members and representatives in almost all Turkish cities as well as in Germany and Japan. On their official Facebook page their mission is listed as reconciling the three seemingly contradictory concepts of 'women', 'football' and 'fandom' in Turkey. Their main fight is directed against the gender inequality and violence inside the stadia. They march into Besiktas's Inonu Stadium dressed in identical black and white scarves and jackets and blow whistles to mute the male fans who use foul language. This article will link the emergence of the fan group Ladies of Besiktas to the political changes in the first half of the 20th century in Turkey and elaborate on its effect on the disruption of gender norms.

    Toward postheroic leadership: A case study of Gezi's collaborating multiple leaders
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2015) Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Erhart, Itir
    This article explores how the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul, Turkey, exemplify the changing character of contemporary social movements, where teamwork and collaboration are supported and the ability to empower, support, and engage others is emphasized. We argue that the role of leadership in social movements in general and in the Turkish Gezi context specifically goes beyond the creation of traditional leaders. This new form of leadership is driven by the possibilities opened up by other democratic and collaborative social movements and also social networking sites. We look at how a horizontal, postheroic leadership message was conveyed via the posters, t-shirts, and chants used by the protestors during the Gezi Park protests, with analysis supported by interviews conducted with protesters.

    United in Protest: From 'Living and Dying with Our Colours' to 'Let All the Colours of the World Unite'
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Erhart, Itir
    Istanbul's Big Three' football clubs, Beikta, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, dominate the Turkish Super League. The matches between these fiercely rival teams, also known as derbies', are often intense and culminate in the eruption of violence, which has even been fatal on occasion. To many people's surprise, the anti-government protests which were sparked by outrage over police action against environmental protestors in May 2013 brought these eternal rivals together. Thousands of Beikta, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray supporters marched arm-in-arm to Taksim Square and demanded justice and freedom. Out of this solidarity is born Istanbul United, a seemingly new fan group with a new logo that combines the three rival logos. Car, the legendary fan group of Beikta, also played an important role in the protests and received the support of all football fans as well. This paper will focus on the politicisation of football in Turkey during the second half of 2013. By looking at both the political role of football fans of the Big Three' during and after the Gezi protests, and the ways in which mutual respect and solidarity is born among diverse protesters, this paper discusses the possibilities of translating this positive genre to a peaceful spectatorship in Turkish football.
