Contested Frames and the Media in Environmental Protests: Shifting the Geothermal Debate in the Turkish Aegean
The Turkish Aegean hosts extensive geothermal resources, a very fertile agricultural land where a variety of distinct agricultural products are grown. Although the geothermal resources in the region offer an important potential for energy production, their exploitation has triggered protests due to its damaging impact on agriculture. In this study we explore how the news media and movement actors frame geothermal energy development in the region …

Mapping Yeşilçam: A relational approach to the Turkish film industry
Turkey’s Yeşilçam film industry produced more than 5500 films during its lifetime of 40 years. The industry had a unique narrative approach shaped around its economic model, Turkey’s ambivalent connection with modernization and the country’s domestic culture. Yet, particular characteristic qualities of the industry remained rather limited up until the last decade, in which vast databases were built up as a consequence of the digital turn. In this…
Mobilizing in a hybrid political system: The Artvin case in Turkey
Hybrid political systems, which are neither rigorously liberal nor authoritarian, create ambiguous political environments for protests and social movements. We argue in this study that the power-resistance dynamics become more sophisticated within the ambiguous context of hybrid systems, such as the one in Turkey, where democratic channels are not totally suspended, but significantly weakened. Examining an episode of contention between an anti-mi…
Environment as Politics: Framing the Cerattepe Protest in Twitter
Environmental protests across the globe are often studied with a particular focus on their environmental aspects, but these protests are also embedded in a local political setting shaped by governmental policies. Recent environmental protests in Turkey, which appear to be based on ecological grievances, have developed as a response to political decisions that gave priority to economic development and national interests over environmental concerns…
Political Use of Twitter in Post-Gezi Environmental Protests
Twitter has often been associated with recent social movements, particularly in the Middle East region. It was also used widely in Turkey during and after the nationwide Gezi protests of 2013. In this article, I study the political engagement practices on Twitter with a particular focus on the post-Gezi environmental protests, and reflect on how emergent protest ecologies are shaped through the participation of the diverse stakeholders. Based on …

This research conducts network analysis in Twitter with the aim to explore Turkey’s polarized news media landscape in the aftermath of the Gezi protests. The findings, based on a relational approach, are analyzed at four levels: identifying the actors, positioning the actors and examining connections am…
