Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Activist Communication Design on Social Media: the Case of Online Solidarity Against Forced Islamic Lifestyle(Sage Publications, 2021) Arda Güney, Talat Balca; Akdemir, AyşegülThis article explores the relationship between connective and collective group identity through the example of “You Won’t Walk Alone,” a social media platform of solidarity for women suffering from the pressures of Islamic dress code in Turkey. While Turkey has a long history of conservative women’s initiatives against secular institutional code and of secular women against Islamic and misogynist social reactions, the social media platform You Won’t Walk Alone (Yalnız Yürümeyeceksin) illustrates a striking self-reflexivity of women mobilizing against their very own conservative communities. The research is based on multimodal content analysis of the posts including both images and texts in order to grasp to what extent social media offers a genuine public space for anonymous participants of the online platform as opposed to digitally networked movements which primarily reflect personalized agency. We analyze how connective and collective group identity can be correlated in this case in which online participants build solidarity by sharing content anonymously. Hence, this article questions the ways in which activist design of communication affects and shapes activism through this case study.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 9Contemporary Art on the Current Refugee Crisis: the Problematic of Aesthetics Versus Ethics(British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, 2019) Arda Güney, Talat BalcaThis article focuses on contemporary artworks outlining the current refugee flow from the Middle East to the West namely to European countries together with the US and Canada. Drawing primarily on Jacques Ranciere's conceptualization of ethical art versus aesthetics I explore how various journeys of refugees in its many forms have been represented in the contemporary art scene. My aim is to concretize the theoretical debate surrounding the 'political' engagement of critical art on the issue of refugee representation through various prominent artworks and art practices starting with the well-known image of Alan Kurdi's and Ai Weiwei's replication of this image in his artwork. I will analyse when and in which configurations aesthetics and ethics can be found in contemporary art on the issue of the 'refugee crisis'. I argue that art on refugees can be grouped into two primary categories that I define as 'human condition assessment' and 'agency empowerment'. As such I demonstrate in practice how contemporary art on the current refugee crisis both employs and moves beyond the ethical subject matters by challenging abject victimhood as well as the ideal of egalitarian art for the underrepresented and thus assumingly voiceless depoliticized refugees.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Perception, Petroleum, and Power: Mythmaking in Oil-Scarce Turkey and Jordan(Elsevier, 2020) Ediger, Volkan S.; Selen, Eser; Bowlus, John V.Oil has been a cardinal driver of economic growth and national development in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. States that produce oil in globally exportable quantities tend to be more powerful than those that do not. Oil-scarce states in the Middle East that neighbor oil-rich states and rely on them for imports create myths to explain their relatively unfortunate geology. This study illustrates and analyzes the myths that people in Turkey and Jordan have created to explain why they lack oil. In the process, it also explains the attitudes, beliefs, and social norms within these countries regarding oil. In both Turkey and Jordan, public understanding of why the country lacks oil forms a tautology about the relationship between oil and the nation's wealth and development, as well as its political, economic, and military power.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 22The Politics of the Gezi Park Resistance: Against Memory and Identity(Duke Univ Press, 2014) Eken, Bülent[Abstract Not Available]
