Öğe Beyond the iconic protest images: the performance of 'everyday life' on social media during Gezi Park(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, 2019-05-04) McGarry, Aidan; Jenzen, Olu; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Erhart, Itır; Korkut, UmutUsing the Gezi Park protests as a case study this article considers the performative component of protest movements including how and why protestors actively produce protest activity 'on the ground' and how this is expressed through visual images. It looks beyond iconic images which appear as emblematic of the protest and instead shifts our focus to consider the more 'everyday' or mundane activities which occur during a protest occupation, and explores how social media allows these images to have expressive and communicative dimensions. In this respect, protests can be performed through humdrum activities and this signifies a political voice which is communicated visually. The research is based on visual analysis of Twitter data and reveals methodological innovation in understanding how protestors communicate.Öğe Introduction: The Aesthetics of Global Protest: Visual Culture and Communication(Routledge, 2025) McGarry, Aidan; Erhart, Itir; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Jenzen, Olu; Korkut, UmutProtest movements are struggles to be seen and to be heard. In the last 60 years protest movements around the world have mobilized against injustices and inequalities to bring about substantial sociocultural, sociopolitical, and socio-economic changes. Whilst familiar repertoires of action persist, such as strikes, demonstrations, and occupations of public space, the landscape is very different from 60 years ago when the so-called 'new social movements' emerged. We need to take stock of the terrain of protest movements, including dramatic developments in digital technologies and communication, the use of visual culture by protestors, and the expression of democracy. This chapter introduces the volume and explains how aesthetics of protest are performative and communicative, constituting a movement through the performance of politics.Öğe Music Videos as Protest Communication: The Gezi Park Protest on YouTube(Bloomsbury Academic, 2023) Jenzen, Olu; Erhart, Itir; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Gucdemir, Derya; Korkut, Umut; McGarry, Aidan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Music Videos as Protest Communication: The Gezi Park Protest on YouTube(Routledge, 2025) Jenzen, Olu; Erhart, Itir; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Gucdemir, Derya; Korkut, Umut; McGarry, AidanThis chapter explores the relevance of the protest song as political communication in the Internet era. Focusing on the prolific and diverse YouTube music video output of the Gezi Park protest of 2013, we explore how digital technologies and social media offer new opportunities for protest music to be produced and reach new audiences. We argue that the affordances of digital media and Internet platforms such as YouTube play a crucial part in the production, distribution and consumption of protest music. In the music videos, collected from Twitter, activists use a range of aesthetic and rhetorical tools such as various mash-up techniques to challenge mainstream media reporting on the protest, communicate solidarity, and express resistance to dominant political discourse.Öğe The symbol of social media in contemporary protest: Twitter and the Gezi Park movement(Sage Publications Inc., 2020-07) Erhart, Itır; Jenzen, Olu; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Korkut, Umut; McGarry, AidanThis article explores how Twitter has emerged as a signifier of contemporary protest. Using the concept of 'social media imaginaries', a derivative of the broader field of 'media imaginaries', our analysis seeks to offer new insights into activists' relation to and conceptualisation of social media and how it shapes their digital media practices. Extending the concept of media imaginaries to include analysis of protestors' use of aesthetics, it aims to unpick how a particular 'social media imaginary' is constructed and informs their collective identity. Using the Gezi Park protest of 2013 as a case study, it illustrates how social media became a symbolic part of the protest movement by providing the visualised possibility of imagining the movement. In previous research, the main emphasis has been given to the functionality of social media as a means of information sharing and a tool for protest organisation. This article seeks to redress this by directing our attention to the role of visual communication in online protest expressions and thus also illustrates the role of visual analysis in social movement studies.Öğe The Aesthetics of Global Protest: Visual Culture and Communication(Taylor and Francis, 2025) McGarry, Aidan; Erhart, Itir; Eslen-Ziya, Hande; Jenzen, Olu; Korkut, UmutProtestors across the world use aesthetics in order to communicate their ideas and ensure their voices are heard. This book looks at protest aesthetics, which we consider to be the visual and performative elements of protest, such as images, symbols, graffiti, art, as well as the choreography of protest actions in public spaces. Through the use of social media, protestors have been able to create an alternative space for people to engage with politics that is more inclusive and participatory than traditional politics. This volume focuses on the role of visual culture in a highly mediated environment and draws on case studies from Europe, Thailand, South Africa, USA, Argentina, and the Middle East in order to demonstrate how protestors use aesthetics to communicate their demands and ideas. It examines how digital media is harnessed by protestors and argues that all protest aesthetics are performative and communicative. © All authors / Taylor & Francis Group, 2020.
