Negotiating Meaning
This article examines how Europe-related discourses were used on Twitter in the Cyprus peace process. Europe and the EU have long shaped public debate on the issue. By analyzing tweets from Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot leaders across three key periods (2015–2021), the study traces shifting narratives about Europe’s role. The findings show how Europe’s role in the Cyprus problem was dynamically reframed on Twitter throughout these phases
Affordances and Borderscapes
In this article, we explore the ways language has been used in Cyprus during different historical periods as a means of a dividing power, with the use of Cypriot dialects as a form of resistance and reunification of the island. We situate these translanguaging themes within a context of affective biopolitics that impacts Cypriot generations in shaping their everyday life through borderscapes and nationalisms.

In this article we link feminisms of resistance to curricular practices as a decolonial pathway to erasure of epistemic and gendered v…

Feminisms, Gender and Social Media
This article draws from research on feminism, politics, social media and everyday sexism in Cyprus to examine the power dynamics between discourses of misogyny and feminism as produced in the public sphere. It focuses on how Facebook was utilised as both a digital space for feminist resistance and misogyny in two case studies which involve one female and two male MPs. At the crossroads of emancipatory and hegemonic particularities, we discuss how…
