Book Review Citation Count: 0The American Passport in Turkey: national citizenship in the age of transnationalism(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2020) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 22Bottom-up nationalism and discrimination on social media: An analysis of the citizenship debate about refugees in Turkey(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Bozdağ Bucak, ÇiğdemThis study analyzes social media representations of refugees in Turkey and discusses their role in shaping public opinion. The influx of millions of Syrian refugees in Turkey has created heated debates about their presence and future in the country. One of these debates was triggered by President Erdogan's statement that Turkey would issue citizenship rights to Syrians in July 2016. Due to a lack of critical voices about refugee issues in Turkey's mass media sphere, social media has become a key platform for citizens to voice their opinions. Through a discourse analysis of tweets about the issue of refugees' citizenship, I will map different perceptions of refugees in Turkey. I argue that despite contesting discourses about Syrians, the debate on social media reinforces nationalism and an ethnocentric understanding of citizenship in Turkey. As the number of refugees and migrants increases rapidly worldwide, they become the new 'others' of national imagined communities. Social media becomes a key communication space where the nation is discursively constructed in a bottom-up manner through manifestations of 'us' and 'them'. The analysis shows that social media contributes to trivialization and normalization of discrimination and hatred against Syrian refugees through disseminating overt discourses of 'Othering'. Social media also enables more covert forms of discrimination through 'rationalized' arguments that are used to justify discrimination through the basis of false/non-verified information. Thus, Twitter becomes a space for critical, bottom-up, yet nationalistic and discriminatory statements about refugees.Book Part Citation Count: 0Cultural Topographies of the New Berlin(Oxford Unıv Press, 2020) Soysal, Levent[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation Count: 18Editorial introduction. Representations of immigrants and refugees: News coverage public opinion and media literacy(DE GRUYTER MOUTON, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem[Abstract Not Available]Review Citation Count: 1Exploring switching factors for mobile number portability: A survey(Inst Advanced Science Extension, 2017) Khaliq, Imran Hameed; Mahmood, Hafiz Zahid; Malik, Summaira; Jan, Malik Jahangir; Zameer, AsifPakistan's mobile phone market is one of the world's fastest growing markets with a subscriber base of 137 million users. Competition in the country's telecommunication industry is dominated by four players and customer demand is high. In addition Pakistan is the first country in South Asia to have implemented Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in March 2007. MNP is a facility that allows mobile subscribers to switch between service providers without changing their existing phone numbers. Mobile phone service provider's selection may be influenced by various factors. Therefore this research was undertaken to explore factors affecting MNP and to determine which factors were most influential in the selection of mobile phone service providers in a developing economy like Pakistan. Moreover the study also probed into differences in customer perceptions between pre-paid and post-paid customers. This exploratory study is based on primary data collected from 300 customers using services of different cellular companies who had experienced MNP facility. Factor analysis was carried out on obtained data and reliability of the resultant scale was verified to achieve the objectives of the study. The outcome of this research provided a concise framework of the various dimensions of customer choice. Contrary to previous researches the result of this study indicated that infrastructural services customer relationships call quality and promotional packages were the most important factors affecting MNP. However price of services was found less important factor in selection of telecommunication service providers. This study also showed that pre-paid and post-paid customers can be significantly different for many value-added services and promotional tools. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by IASE.

In developing and developed countries educational institutions use tablets and personal computers for supporting learning processes. Mobile learning practices are generally used for overcoming time-space constraints in traditional learning process. This study covers both lecturer's and students' tablet usages and achievements of tablet usage on Introduction to New Media Course in Kadir Has University undergraduate New Media program including a comparison with traditional and online-blended lectures in previous years Thanks to mobile course tablet application developed students have been able to watch live broadcasts and video records of lectures see lecture presentations and read e-materials submitted online while they were able to submit their assignments exams and response papers. Interaction between lecturer and students is improved by tablet application lecture narrations were followed online and archived. Mobile application is integrated to Facebook for improving students' social interactions with the course materials and lecturer which paves the way for social learning concept. A course which has already been complemented by social networks and another online education software was chosen for the study. With almost same syllabus that was used for two years before comparative data about student and lecturer performances have been obtained. It is found out that average class success increased by %8 compared to previous years mobilization and online interaction level increased average time spent for class increased and 3G was used more than Wifi technologies during the semester that enables the mobility and allows time-space independency for the students.Book Review Citation Count: 0Integration Diversity and the Making of a European Public Sphere(USC ANNENBERG PRESS, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 6Intercultural learning in schools through telecollaboration? A critical case study of eTwinning between Turkey and Germany(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, ÇiğdemDigital media offer various possibilities for internet-based telecollaboration in schools and open up a space for intercultural learning. Diverse initiatives like such as the European Union-initiative eTwinning network aim to support telecollaboration projects in education. This article argues that we need to develop critical and grounded understanding of telecollaboration projects and how they are being embedded in the context of existing school cultures. The article presents an in-depth case study of a telecollaboration project between a Turkish and a German school. On the basis of observations in schools interviews with teachers and focus groups with pupils the article argues that there are two main challenges that limit the experience of intercultural learning in the analysed project. The first point is about the strong teacher-centred project design and the discrepancy between the perspectives of teachers and pupils. The second point is the rather simplistic and superficial understanding of culture which reasserts national cultures instead of promoting a more open perspective that influences the project tasks and topics.Article Citation Count: 4'Just the way my generation reads the news': News consumption habits of youth in Turkey and the UK(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Yanardağoğlu, EylemAudiences' media use and news consumption behaviour are constantly shifting. Some scholars note that the growing decline in youth's news consumption raises concerns about the future of democracy in various media systems. This research explores the factors that influence college students' news consumption behaviour in the United Kingdom and Turkey through an interpretative approach. The data are based on qualitative in-depth interviews with around 50 students studying in major universities in London and Istanbul. The findings show overarching common trends such as increased mobile news access, incidental exposure to news on social media, irregular snacking and verifying of news that drive youth's news consumption behaviour. Findings also show that traditional media use for news has almost been replaced by online media and the modality of traditional media do not easily fit in with youth's daily routine of studies, work and commute.Editorial Citation Count: 3The media and the failed coup in Turkey: Televised Tweeted and FaceTimed yet so 20th century(Sage Publications Inc, 2017) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 0Media-Bridge-Cultures: Exploring mediated cultural encounters(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem; Odag, Ozen[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 4Policies of media and cultural integration in Germany: From guestworker programmes to a more integrative framework(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014) Bozdağ Bucak, ÇiğdemAfter the arrival of the first labour migrants in Germany in the 1960s a gradual change in the perception of migrants in German politics took place: from guests (Gastarbeiter) and foreigners (Ausländer) to citizens as members of a new form of 'us' that is constructed within diversity. These transformations were reflected in Germany's migration-related policies throughout recent history. This article focuses on media-related policies for cultural integration which go hand in hand with the developments in the general migration policy framework analysing different phases after the 1960s. In general we observe an increasing institutionalization of integration policies a more comprehensive understanding of the role of the media for integration purposes and a diversification of measures even more rapidly after the enactment of the Immigration Act in 2004. Cultural diversity is now emphasized as an enriching factor for the German mediascape. However there continues to be a need for long-term policies in order to improve media diversity in practice. © The Author(s) 2014.Book Part Citation Count: 1Turkey in Europe, Europe in Turkey: History, Elites, and the Media(Palgrave, 2015) Soysal, Levent; Özçürümez, Saime; Diner, Çağla[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 32Understanding the Images of Alan Kurdi With "Small Data": A Qualitative, Comparative Analysis of Tweets About Refugees in Turkey and Flanders (Belgium)(USC Annenberg Press, 2017) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem; Smets, KevinOne of the peak moments of the debate on the European refugee crisis was caused by the circulation of images of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned in the Aegean Sea on September 2, 2015. The images triggered worldwide reactions from politicians, nongovernmental organizations, and citizens. This article analyzes these reactions through a qualitative study of 961 tweets from Turkey and Flanders (Belgium), contextualizing them into the framing and representation of refugees before and after the images were released. Our study finds that, despite their iconic qualities and potential to mobilize Twitter users around refugee issues, the images did not cause a major shift in common discourses and representations. Instead, references to Kurdi were incorporated into preexisting discourses on and representations of refugees, thus offering different actors in the public debate on refugees with new symbols and motifs to construct meaning.Article Citation Count: 3Use of Social Media in the Struggle Surrounding Violence Against Turkish Women(University of Southern California, 2020) Baş, Özen; Baş, ÖzenIncreasingly large numbers of women in Turkey have suffered abuse or lost their lives through attacks by men. In 2019 alone, 474 women were killed by men. Based on theories of connective action and affective publics, this study examines online activism regarding violence against Turkish women through a qualitative content analysis of Twitter messages with popular hashtags. Posts addressing six different cases of violent crimes directed at women that took place between 2015 and 2019 constituted the sample. The results show that large numbers support women through postings and repostings of solidarity, emotional expressions, remembrance, and dissemination of information. Because of the government's authoritarian and repressive tactics in silencing critical voices on social media and in the streets, the potential to build an organized social movement to curtail these violent crimes is minimal.Article Citation Count: 18Vacillation in Turkey's Popular Global TV Exports: Toward a More Complex Understanding of Distribution(USC Annenberg Press, 2016) Alankuş, Sevda; Yanardağoğlu, EylemAudience demand for Turkey's TV series has increased their strength in the regional market and beyond. By mid-2014 more than 70 Turkish TV dramas reached audiences in 75 countries. Some experts have characterized this as neo-Ottoman cool, referring to Turkey's growing "soft power" role in successfully combining Islam with democracy. However, survey data from 16 Arab countries, previous audience studies, and our in-depth interviews with Istanbul-based producers and distributors refute this. Neo-Ottoman cool does not register the full dynamics of contingent relations between economy, politics, ideology, and media flows. Our research underscores the region's glocal flexibility and the market articulations overarching Turkey's soft power ambitions, how the drama genre attracts women cross-culturally, and the limits of notions of cultural proximity.Article Citation Count: 2Who is responsible? The impact of emotional personalization on explaining the origins of social problems(Routledge, 2020) Baş, Özen; Hale, Brent J.; Grabe, Maria Elizabeth; Baş, ÖzenPersonalization refers to the journalistic practice of including emotional case studies of ordinary people in news stories, increasing vividness and emotional charge of news and eliciting identification and empathy in news consumers. Previous research suggests that personalization of news stories increases collectivistic (compared with individualistic) causal attributions by the news audience. In response, an experiment was conducted with a week time delay between stimuli presentation and open-ended participant responses to examine the influence of news personalization on how news consumers attribute causes for social issues. Participant (N = 80) trait empathy was included as an additional factor. Findings show that participants with high trait empathy expressed a greater shift to collectivistic attribution after watching personalized news stories than participants with low trait empathy, suggesting that individual differences in trait empathy may be an important factor in how individuals construct their own understanding of social problems.Book Review Citation Count: 1Women and Turkish Cinema: gender politics cultural identity and representation(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Akser, Murat[Abstract Not Available]
