Öğe The End of the Habermassian Ideal? Political Communication on Twitter During the 2017 Turkish Constitutional Referendum(Wiley, 2020) Furman, Ivo; Tunc, AsliWith increasing attention devoted to automated bot accounts, fake news, and echo chambers, how much of the theory of a Habermassian public sphere is still applicable to social media? Drawing on Twitter data collected on April 16, 2017, during the night of Turkey's 2017 Constitutional Referendum, we test whether the networks of political communication resemble the communicative structures characteristic of Habermas's public sphere. The referendum left the country sharply divided; 51.4 percent of the electorate voted in favor of amending the constitution to grant sweeping new executive powers to the presidency, with an overall turnout of 85.46 percent. In this article, we examine whether Twitter users were meaningfully engaged on the night of the referendum, and if their communicative patterns resembled a networked public sphere, that is, a space where information and ideas are exchanged, and public opinion is formed in a deliberative, rational manner. We find ideological uniformity, polarization, and partisan antipathy to be especially evident-mirroring existing social tensions in Turkey. Rather than resembling a public sphere, we found Twitter users to be more likely to communicate on the basis of homophily-rather than to engage in democratic debate or establish a common ground between the two campaigns.Öğe Freedom of expression debates in Turkey: Acute problems and new hopes(Intellect Ltd, 2013) Tunc, AsliThis article critically evaluates the increasing restrictions on freedom of press in Turkey by giving examples and discussing cases in the last decade. The ownership structure of the media, legal constraints on journalists, self-censorship, media owners' close links with the political establishment and erosion of editorial independence are the chronic diseases of the media sector. The panacea might be social media as an unfettered source of news with the vacuum in mainstream media coverage of civil antigovernment movements such as Gezi Park protests.Öğe Identities in-between: the impact of satellite broadcasting on Greek Orthodox minority (Rum Polites) women's perception of their identities in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Tunc, Asli; Ferentinou, ArianaThis study aims to shed a light on women belonging to the Greek Orthodox Christian (Rum Polites) community in Istanbul, Turkey and their perception of their identity with the help of satellite broadcasting (ERT World). This research is the first attempt to analyse Rum women's viewing attitudes and their correlations with a number of variables such as education, age, family structure, religion, occupation, and their perceptions of themselves as part of a distinctive religious and cultural entity. Since the female members of the community are heavy television viewers, television is a powerful tool to construct a social reality and a sense of self. By conducting in-depth interviews and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), this study aims to reveal how this unique community makes sense of their identities and social worlds through television.Öğe Mediated Justice: Turkish Newspapers' Coverage of Controversial Criminal Cases(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Tunc, AsliThis study is a content analysis of news coverage of three criminal cases in four (Cumhuriyet, Hurriyet, Sabah, Zaman) Turkish national newspapers. Those cases were extensively discussed on both national and international levels and they became symbols in the quest for justice in the country. The brutal beheading of 17-year-old Munevver Karabulut, 76-year-old Vakit columnist Huseyin Uzmez's sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl, and finally a Turkish human rights activist, 29-year-old Engin Ceber's being tortured and killed in police custody were used as tools to present Turkish printed press's construction of a perception of justice.Öğe Missing Byzantium: Explaining Greeks' love for Turkish TV serials(Intellect Ltd, 2012) Tunc, Asli[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Twitter vs. Penguens on TV: # GeziParkProtests, Social Media Use, and the Generation Y in Turkey(Routledge, 2015) Tunc, Asli[Abstract Not Available]Öğe What's next for social media companies? The digital regulatory scene in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic(Intellect Ltd, 2021) Tunc, AsliIn the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, on 9 April 2020, a draft bill was presented to fight against the spread of COVID-19 in Turkey. Eight articles were buried deep in the proposed legislation, which mostly included economic measures and aid packages, directly targeting any social media company that had a platform accessed by over one million users daily. Although the articles on social media were dropped from the parliamentary schedule on 14 April 2020 to make way for more urgent bills on the economy and health, the uncertainty regarding social media companies' situation in the country remained. Then, on 29 July 2020, the new social media law, officially 'The Law on Making Amendments to the Law on Regulation of Publications on the Internet and Combating Crimes Committed by Means of Such Publication', numbered 7253 was adopted by the parliament. This article approaches this issue from the perspective of social media companies, specifically Facebook and Twitter, and analyses the post-Coronavirus digital scene and public policy attempts from the corporate point of view.Öğe A woman scientist in pursuit of truth: A rising trend of representation with Chernobyl(Intellect Ltd, 2021) Tunc, AsliSky/HBO's miniseries Chernobyl (2019) tells a human story behind the catastrophic disaster that had begun with an explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine on 26 April 1986. Over the course of five one-hour episodes, Chernobyl dramatizes the incidents that paved the way to the massive explosion, such as the Cold War era, the dysfunctional Soviet bureaucracy and the power issues among the male political and scientific establishment. The highlight of the miniseries is female agency being the symbol of scientific approach, rational thought and common sense. This article analyses Chernobyl and the character of a Belarusian nuclear physicist named Ulyana Khomyuk (played by Emily Watson) by focusing on women's representation on popular television in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. It also questions whether Chernobyl is one of the very few examples in popular culture of changing patterns of women's representation in STEM.
