    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.

    Radicalisation in competitive authoritarian contexts: visualising refugees with DIY media
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Bilgin, Hasret Dikici; Korkut, Umut; Fazekas, Roland
    This article focuses on how visual media interacts with the government practices in competitive authoritarian regimes. We argue that while the visual representation of refugees can in general mainstream radicalisation, it gains additional traction in authoritarian context as it streams political discontent away from the governments to 'ungrateful' refugees. The paper is built on an analysis of do-it-yourself (DIY) videos in Turkey and Hungary in relation to two specific events involving refugees. The extant research mostly looks into online activism via DIY media. However, we approach them from an opposite perspective and show that not only social movements, but also states benefit from the audience-making potential of DIY media insomuch as these videos appear less as government propaganda and more as representative of public opinion.

    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.
