Description

This book focuses on media and zeroes in some critical and oppositional aspects of internet usage within Turkey.

It does not radically challenge some works on Turkey's recent grand narrative but presents empirical and minor accounts to this.

However, in elaborating the long history of relatively resilient and multilayered oppositional digital media networks in Turkey, this book insists that an idea of authoritarian turn may be misleading as the internet communications are exposed to repressive measures and surveillance tactics from the very beginning of the country's recent past.

While discussing from citizen journalism practices to political trolls and from Gezi Park protests to disinformation campaigns, this book pays tribute to digital activists and points out that mobilizing through digital networks can present glimmers of hope in challenging authoritarian regimes.
