Book Review The American Passport in Turkey: National Citizenship in the Age of Transnationalism(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2020) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 41Bottom-Up Nationalism and Discrimination on Social Media: an Analysis of the Citizenship Debate About Refugees in Turkey(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Bozdağ Bucak, ÇiğdemThis study analyzes social media representations of refugees in Turkey and discusses their role in shaping public opinion. The influx of millions of Syrian refugees in Turkey has created heated debates about their presence and future in the country. One of these debates was triggered by President Erdogan's statement that Turkey would issue citizenship rights to Syrians in July 2016. Due to a lack of critical voices about refugee issues in Turkey's mass media sphere, social media has become a key platform for citizens to voice their opinions. Through a discourse analysis of tweets about the issue of refugees' citizenship, I will map different perceptions of refugees in Turkey. I argue that despite contesting discourses about Syrians, the debate on social media reinforces nationalism and an ethnocentric understanding of citizenship in Turkey. As the number of refugees and migrants increases rapidly worldwide, they become the new 'others' of national imagined communities. Social media becomes a key communication space where the nation is discursively constructed in a bottom-up manner through manifestations of 'us' and 'them'. The analysis shows that social media contributes to trivialization and normalization of discrimination and hatred against Syrian refugees through disseminating overt discourses of 'Othering'. Social media also enables more covert forms of discrimination through 'rationalized' arguments that are used to justify discrimination through the basis of false/non-verified information. Thus, Twitter becomes a space for critical, bottom-up, yet nationalistic and discriminatory statements about refugees.Book Part Cultural Topographies of the New Berlin(Oxford Unıv Press, 2020) Soysal, Levent[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Editorial Introduction. Representations of Immigrants and Refugees: News Coverage Public Opinion and Media Literacy(DE GRUYTER MOUTON, 2018) Smets, Kevin; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 22Gezi Movement and the Networked Public Sphere: a Comparative Analysis in Global Context(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Vatikiotis, Pantelis; Yoruk, Zafer F.The article draws on Gezi protests that took place in Turkey during the summer of 2013 inquiring the extent to which they were part of a global cycle of contention that has shocked the world the last 5 years. In this regard concepts and constructs of social movement new media networking and public sphere provide analytical tools to probe into the area. Issues that are addressed and critically discussed include the evaluation of the contemporary protest movements in terms of the global diffusion of neoliberal capitalism the intersection of social media and collective action and the critical reflection on the interplay between physical and mediated facets of action.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 14Intercultural Learning in Schools Through Telecollaboration? a Critical Case Study of Etwinning Between Turkey and Germany(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, ÇiğdemDigital media offer various possibilities for internet-based telecollaboration in schools and open up a space for intercultural learning. Diverse initiatives like such as the European Union-initiative eTwinning network aim to support telecollaboration projects in education. This article argues that we need to develop critical and grounded understanding of telecollaboration projects and how they are being embedded in the context of existing school cultures. The article presents an in-depth case study of a telecollaboration project between a Turkish and a German school. On the basis of observations in schools interviews with teachers and focus groups with pupils the article argues that there are two main challenges that limit the experience of intercultural learning in the analysed project. The first point is about the strong teacher-centred project design and the discrepancy between the perspectives of teachers and pupils. The second point is the rather simplistic and superficial understanding of culture which reasserts national cultures instead of promoting a more open perspective that influences the project tasks and topics.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Media-Bridge Exploring Mediated Cultural Encounters(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem; Odag, Ozen[Abstract Not Available]
