Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 438577023
The subproject examines the reciprocal production of media and political change in Turkey after the Gezi protests of 2013. Using the example of political debates of post-Gezi Turkey on Twitter, the subproject examines how popularization and representation are intertwined in social media platforms. It asks how positions in social media have been made visible, measured, problematized, attacked, changed or even deliberately produced and which actors are and were involved. The project investigates these processes as a cross-media phenomenon.
