    Beyond the iconic protest images: the performance of 'everyday life' on social media during Gezi Park
    (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, 2019-05-04) McGarry, Aidan; Jenzen, Olu; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Erhart, Itır; Korkut, Umut
    Using the Gezi Park protests as a case study this article considers the performative component of protest movements including how and why protestors actively produce protest activity 'on the ground' and how this is expressed through visual images. It looks beyond iconic images which appear as emblematic of the protest and instead shifts our focus to consider the more 'everyday' or mundane activities which occur during a protest occupation, and explores how social media allows these images to have expressive and communicative dimensions. In this respect, protests can be performed through humdrum activities and this signifies a political voice which is communicated visually. The research is based on visual analysis of Twitter data and reveals methodological innovation in understanding how protestors communicate.

    The symbol of social media in contemporary protest: Twitter and the Gezi Park movement
    (Sage Publications Inc., 2020-07) Erhart, Itır; Jenzen, Olu; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Korkut, Umut; McGarry, Aidan
    This article explores how Twitter has emerged as a signifier of contemporary protest. Using the concept of 'social media imaginaries', a derivative of the broader field of 'media imaginaries', our analysis seeks to offer new insights into activists' relation to and conceptualisation of social media and how it shapes their digital media practices. Extending the concept of media imaginaries to include analysis of protestors' use of aesthetics, it aims to unpick how a particular 'social media imaginary' is constructed and informs their collective identity. Using the Gezi Park protest of 2013 as a case study, it illustrates how social media became a symbolic part of the protest movement by providing the visualised possibility of imagining the movement. In previous research, the main emphasis has been given to the functionality of social media as a means of information sharing and a tool for protest organisation. This article seeks to redress this by directing our attention to the role of visual communication in online protest expressions and thus also illustrates the role of visual analysis in social movement studies.

    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.

    Understanding 'New Turkey' Through Women's Eyes: Gender Politics in Turkish Daytime Talk Shows
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Burul, Yesim; Eslen-Ziya, Hande
    Following the AKP's second election victory in 2007. significant changes to the party programme and strategy evolved into the 'New flukey,' a new, more abstractly defined discursive and operational space. This both redefined democratic practices and generated a backlash to gender equality and the status of women. As media is a powerful hegemonic tool, where political actors compete for influence, analysis of television daytime talk shows reflects similar gender role-making processes within Turkish society. We study one of the most popular shows in Turkey, hosted by Seda Sayan through 'discursive governance' and in which political actor discourses influence the public agenda through active sense-making, a process in which the media plays a critical disseminating and legitimating role, particularly in restrictive political settings. We argue that the show (now no longer broadcast) was a locus of discursive governance. Identity and habitus in the 'New Turkey' discourse strategically were projected in such shows, rendering formal policy change to affect behavioral shifts unnecessary. Seda Sayan's show thus expressed a conservative and gendered public normative narrative, one that the AKP government has developed into a dominant normative order.
