Branding Cities in the Age of Social Media: a Comparative Assessment of Local Government Performance
(Springer International Publishing, 2015) Sevin, Efe
This chapter is a comparative study of how three local governments- Cape Town (South Africa) Philadelphia (Pennsylvania USA) and Myrtle Beach (South Carolina USA)-use social media platforms in their city branding attempts. Theoretical arguments in the fi elds of corporate and city branding point out the potential of these new communication platforms to change how brand-related content is created and shared with target audiences. However the practice is understudied. The study fi rst explains the potential of social media in branding through media ecology city brand communication and brand co-creation theories. Second the performance of the aforementioned three cities on social media is evaluated by analyzing their Twitter and Facebook presence. The fi ndings suggest that there is room for improvement for local governments in their employment of social media for city branding campaigns. The chapter concludes with recommendations for practitioners. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. All rights are reserved.

Digital Crime and Punishment: Turkish Online Journalism Under Siege
(International Institute of Informatics and Systemics IIIS, 2012) Baybars Hawks, Banu
Turkish mass media since its beginnings in late 19th century has aimed to gain its role as the fourth estate in Turkish political scene. The freedom of press has been at the paramount of discussions since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Between 1980 and 2000 Turkish media grew more and more liberal and was able to express discontent publicly exercising its checks and balances function. On the other hand the conservative majority of AKP government the governing party in Turkey brought back pressures on the Turkish media since the 2000s. Digital media as the new developing platform in Turkey for expressing rights and freedoms is under siege by government as well. The government's definition of digital crime and punishment is mostly unnoticed by the average citizen but despised by the young population. This paper intends to show the invalidity of disproportionate use of punishment and illegitimate definition of cybercrime in contemporary democratic systems that target online media professionals and outline how Turkish authorities can reverse the process by adopting alternative strategies of prevention. Under this perspective it also assesses the compliance of Internet legislation and practices in Turkey with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.

Domestik Etnografi Örneği Olarak Ben Uçtum Sen Kaldın
(Hacettepe Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2015) Koçer Çamurdan, Suncem
In what ways does documentary camera with its unique capacity to disentangle reality penetrate and reconstruct history? At the intersections of history and memory and of family and self, how do documentary narratives crafted through the pursuit of personal life stories, longed family members, and childhood recollections contest hegemonic ideologies about identity? This article focuses on I Flew You Stayed (2012) by Mizgin Müjde Arslan as a reflexive narrative of tracing longed family members and occult life stories. As Arslan searches for her family history to fill out painful gaps in her life journey through documentary practice, she ends up uncovering a restless history construed by ideologies that silence counter-hegemonic voices in unique ways.

Encountering Difference and Radical Democratic Trajectory: an Analysis of Gezi Park as Public Space
(Routledge, 2015) İnceoğlu, İrem
Summer 2013 was a historic period in regards to political activism in Turkey. Commonly referred to as ‘the Gezi Resistance’ the grass-roots mobilisation caught the rather self-assured AKP (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) government off guard as hundreds of thousands rushed to the streets squares and parks to reclaim those spaces publicly. The resistance started with the attempt by a handful of environmentalists to protect a few trees being cut down in central Istanbul. Then it quickly moved beyond just about protecting a few trees and became a collective reaction to the recent and ongoing urban modelling projects that would turn commons into gated spaces for consumption. Significantly the Gezi Resistance which reclaimed public spaces started to mobilise multiple identity groups who entered into the political arena in the radical democratic sense. This paper aims to scrutinise Gezi Resistance and the occupation of the park in relation to reclaiming public spaces and the politics of identity hence as an opportunity for a radical democratic emancipation. In this context emancipation refers to contestation against the dominating discourses of the majoritarian government with neoconservative tendencies. Public space is contextualised as the agonistic domain that enables individuals both to appear hence become visible for a possible interaction and acknowledgement and join collaborative struggles against dominant discourses. In this regard performing dissent re-produces subjectivities while articulating these to one another also requires a public space. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Ethnographic Cinema, Anthropology and Issues of Representational Authority in Visual Documentation of Culture
(İmge Kitabevi Yayınları, 2015) Çamurdan Koçer, Suncem
Ethnographic film has offered unique tools for cultural documentation since the emergence of motion pictures. However, visual representations of culture have had a problematic relationship with the larger discipline of anthropology for decades in part due to the threat of the camera to replace the scientific yet imperfect eye of the anthropologist with a technological tool. This article argues that the rocky relationship between anthropology and the moving image has deeper roots in the epistemological constructions of Self and Other, Home and Field, as well as Modern and Primitive. In conjunction with the dissolution of anthropological authority, a number of ethnographic films dealt with theoretical and ethical questions in relation to the issues of representational authority. The article illustrates three different ethnographic and filmic approaches to the issue: Reassemblage by Trinh T. Min-ha, The Wedding Camels by Judith and David MacDougal and Jaguar by Jean Rouch.

Exploring the City: Perceiving Istanbul Through Its Cultural Productions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011) Şenova, Başak
This essay explores the role of Istanbul's 'cultural productions' as components of the city's structure and texture. Istanbul is a city of tensions generated by its countless conflicting and divergent flows which are constantly influenced by socio-economic political and cultural fusions and confusions. It is constantly expanding both horizontally and vertically as evidenced by its central and peripheral settlements illegal dwellings and squatted lands. With each and every new inhabitant further cumulative cultural input is added to the city which also blends social exclusion and transgression (together with axiomatic de facto regulations). The city 'operates' as a jumbled mode of excessive information

From Ayran To Dragon Fruit Smoothie: Populism, Polarization, and Social Engineering in Turkey
(USC Annenberg Press, 2020) Karaosmanoğlu, Defne
Food embedded with symbolic meaning has power in politics. Food as political communication is extensively studied as a nation branding and public diplomacy tool. However, academic studies seem to overlook the role that food plays in populism and political polarization. Pointing out a gap in the field, I explore the role of culinary culture in Turkish politics between 2013 and 2019 to demonstrate its polarizing effect and its role in social engineering. I argue that social engineering as part of constructing native/national culinary items, efforts to polarize people through an AKP-sanctioned culinary tradition, and the particulars of the palace menu, are at once contradictory and consistent. Despite government efforts to appeal to average people and to polarize the public both by replacing alcohol with native/national and familiar ayran and grape juice, and by distributing asure to the people, branded with the symbol of the presidency, the palace kitchen has also invoked the neo-Ottoman exotic by serving dragon fruit smoothie and chia seeds.

Halkla İlişkiler Anlayışıyla Bütünleşik Pazarlama İletişimi
(İstanbul Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2009) Tunçel, Hakan
Pazarlama iletişimi etkinliklerinde halkla ilişkiler disiplininin önemi yıllar boyu genellikle ikincil dere‐ cede görüldü. Pazarlama karmasındaki tanıtım ayağı, ağırlıklı olarak reklamdan oluşuyordu. Halkla ilişkiler, ürünlerle ilgili basında haberlerin yayınlanması ihtiyacı olduğunda hatırlanan sadece ekstra bir tanıtım aracıydı. Halkla ilişkilerin ağırlıkla kurumsal iletişimden sorumlu olduğu kabul edilirdi. 1990’lı yıllarda dünyadaki siyasi, ekonomik ve teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte pazarlamacılar sadece kitlesel reklamla pazarlama hedeflerine ulaşmalarının artık oldukça zor olduğunu kavradılar. Müşteri‐ lerle uzun vadeli ilişkiler kurulması ve sürdürülmesi için halkla ilişkilerin kendine özgü kolaylaştırıcı özellikleri daha çok kullanılmaya başlandı. Ürün markası iletişiminde, halkla ilişkilere duyulan ihtiya‐ cın artmasıyla Pazarlama Amaçlı Halkla İlişkiler (Marketing PR) alanı doğdu. Bu dönemde ortaya çıkan, tek bir mesaj ve ortak hedefler doğrultusunda, tüketicilerle bütün temas noktalarında buluşarak, bütün iletişim araçlarının uzun vadeli birbiriyle uyumlu yönetilmesi yaklaşımı olan bütünleşik pazar‐ lama iletişiminin şekillenmesinde halkla ilişkiler disiplininin önemli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu maka‐ lede, pazarlama iletişiminin kavramsal çerçevesi ve bütünleşik pazarlama iletişimi yaklaşımının geli‐ şimi özetlenerek, bütünleşik pazarlama iletişiminde halkla ilişkiler anlayışının etkileri tartışılmış ve ikincil verilere dayanılarak Alo deterjan markasının ‘Süper Anne’ isimli kampanyası yorumlanmıştır. Bu kampanyanın halkla ilişkiler anlayışındaki bütünleşik pazarlama iletişiminin karakteristik unsurla‐ rını taşıdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Halkla İlişkiler Perspektifinden Kurumsal Vatandaşlık Anlayışına Bir Bakış
(Galatasaray Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2011) Tunçel, Hakan
In our contemporary world, especially for big companies, the notion of corporate responsibility conscience has been pretty important to gain and sustain reputation in the eyes of their stakeholders. Many companies have been trying to express how they care about corporate citizenship practices which are allegedly the natural parts of their business plans or their corporate philosophies in different ways. Even though the term of corporate citizenship has emerged in management literature dealing with the social role of companies, it has been recently a prominent part of public relations practices and literature. In this article, firstly corporate citizenship notion is reviewed, then the relation between public relations and corporate citizenship is discussed theoretically with the help of some examples from business life, and it is tried to be shown how these two concepts overlapped each other.

How To Study Ethnic Food: Senses, Power, and Intercultural Studies
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020) Karaosmanoğlu, Defne
This article gives a broad review of the literature focusing on food, senses, and intercultural relations. Integrating cultural studies literature and concepts into ethnic food studies, it tries to understand the ways in which ethnic food becomes an agent of social change and helps to build, promote, and improve intercultural relations. More specifically, this article tries to explore the ways in which ethnic food could be used as a pedagogical tool in intercultural relations. The following questions are explored in anthropology and cultural studies literature: To what extent can ethnic food bring a feeling of connection with other cultures? To what extent can it bring an understanding of others? What kind of a role do the senses of taste and smell play in this process? At least three steps are proposed in the study of ethnic food and intercultural relations: Integrating sensory studies into food studies, applying self-reflexive ethnographic methodologies which are based on experience and emotion, and finally exploring the relationship between food and power, and food and agency.

Invented Myths in Contemporary Turkish Political Advertising
(Springer, 2016) Koçer Çamurdan, Suncem; Yalkın, Çağrı
This article focuses on the November 2015 elections in Turkey and analyzes the discourses embedded in the political campaign videos produced and circulated by the Justice and Development Party (ruling party since 2002) Republican People's Party (first political party of the republic) People's Democratic Party (main vehicle of the Kurdish politics) and Nationalist Movement Party (ethno-nationalist party). Republic of Turkey's construction in the national imagination over the past 90 years have both rested on and reproduced a range of themes which are themselves based on recently invented nationalist myths such as the common enemy the multicultural mosaic order and progress fight against imperialism the break from the Ottoman empire and Turkey as bridge between east-and-west. Hence we argue that regardless of their severely diverse stance on key issues in the political realm all the political parties use the hegemony's myths as tools in their advertisements therefore reifying these themes in the public imagination.

Making Transnational Publics: Circuits of Censorship and Technologies of Publicity in Kurdish Media Circulation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013) Koçer Çamurdan, Suncem
Kurdish media producers who interweave social and political agendas with their filmmaking are often marginalized within Turkish media worlds. Impeded by national censorship these filmmakers move between national and transnational media worlds to advance their cinematic work. Such movement helps them create and maintain transnational publics that reinforce circulation of their media texts. Here I analyze how a documentary film about a seminomadic Kurdish community moves through international screening venues. As it journeys through film festivals in Europe its director Kazim oz accompanies it and through deliberate discourse attempts to increase and accelerate the film's transnational circulation. I explore the ways that oz discursively globalizes his film relates it to festival audiences flags the politics of Kurdish media production and seeks to construct a European public sensitive to the plight of Turkey's Kurds.

(mis)communication Across the Borders: Politics Media and Public Opinion in Turkey
(International Institute of Informatics and Systemics IIIS, 2015) Baybars Hawks, Banu
During the 1990s advances in statistical and demographic analysis helped the development of an understanding of public opinion as the collective view of a defined population such as a particular demographic or ethnic group. In this view the influence of public opinion is not restricted to politics and elections. Public opinion is considered a powerful force in many other spheres such as culture fashion literature and the arts consumer spending and marketing and public relations. Attitudes and values play a crucial role in the development of public opinion. Different variables embedded in the political social and media structure of the country also have potential to make an impact on public opinion. These dynamics vary from the economics to the judicial system and democratic principles functioning in that country. On the other hand public opinion has a power to shape politics and media's priorities in reporting. The interaction among politics public opinion and media of one country can be better analyzed with the findings of public opinion research administered regularly. In Turkey the research on and analysis of public opinion are most frequent during the election times. Therefore it seems necessary to measure the public opinion more regularly to test the relationships among political public and media agendas. Accordingly the current study seeks to fill this gap. It is argued that in the absence of timely feedback from public surveys decisions and policies for improving different services and institutions functioning in the country might not achieve their expected goal. The findings of surveys may not only yield important insights into public's opinion regarding contemporary agendas of the country but also into the correlates shaping public policies. This article focuses on variables setting the current agenda in Turkey. For that purpose two surveys were carried out in December of 2014 and consecutively in April 2015 to determine the social and political trends and perceptions on gender issues in Turkey.

Pathways of Connection: an Analytical Approach To the Impacts of Public Diplomacy
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Sevin, Efe
Public diplomacy albeit its functional similarities with public relations and other corporate communication tools is inherently a foreign policy tool used by practitioner states to advance their national interests and achieve their foreign policy goals. The purpose of this theoretical article is to provide a framework to analyze the impacts of public diplomacy projects by acknowledging both its communication aspect and political nature. The pathways of connection framework is built in two-steps. First the public diplomacy concept is situated in international politics by evaluating the concept through mainstream international relations theories. This evaluation yields three areas on which public diplomacy projects might have an impact. Second the existing academic and practical measurement models are categorized under these areas and two pathways per area are presented. The theoretical framework can be used to understand different outcomes of public diplomacy projects and to provide a more accurate measurement of their success. (c) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Publishing Leaked Information as News: Sabotage or Journalistic Success?
(2013) Baybars Hawks, Banu; Smith, Ayten Gorgun
This article aims to analyse the universal news criteria regarding the transformation of information into news. In February 2013 the transcript of a meeting between 3 pro-Kurdish deputies and the jailed leader of the PKK (the Kurdistan Workers Party) was leaked to the Turkish press. This was published in Milliyet a national Turkish newspaper and has been interpreted as a forceful move to sabotage the positive atmosphere surrounding Turkey's latest efforts with the PKK to end a conflict that has lasted more than three decades andresulted in the deaths of almost 36000 people. The rationale for the leak was that although Turkey was going through a delicate time there were questions that needed to be answered but questions still remain: Who leaked the document and why and how? The media has been divided about whether the publishing of the leaked transcript represented an effort to sabotage the peace attempts with the PKK or whether it marked a moment of journalistic success. What ethical stance should be taken about the leak? Should the journalist have reported it in the name of professionalism in terms of 'informing the public' or should he have exercised restraint out of respect for the 'security of the state'? This article will examine those issues through an analytical approach and discuss the related attitudes of the foreign press.

Social Business in Online Financing: Crowdfunding Narratives of Independent Documentary Producers in Turkey
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015) Koçer Çamurdan, Suncem
Crowdfunding is a relatively novel concept in Turkish public discourse. Yet activist media producers in Turkey actively use online opportunities to solicit production post-production and distribution financing. This article explores crowdfunding as a signifier that draws public attention to media texts for which online funding drives are performed. As crowdfunding campaigns circulate through social media they forge publics around the related films videos stories and more significantly the social causes around which these media revolve. Based on long-term ethnographic research with independent media producers in Turkey the article scrutinizes the crowdfunding adventures behind three documentaries My Child Ecumenopolis and I Flew You Stayed as narrated by their producers. Using the analysis of the campaigns for these documentary films as cases I argue that in addition to being a means to raising funds crowdfunding is a tool to accomplish social and political ends ranging from creating communities of support and attracting media attention to building a reputation of independence.
