"CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS: "MAPPING THE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA IN TURKEY"
Editors: Barış Çoban & Bora Ataman

We aim to map the alternative media in Turkey, which is varied in form, structure and working styles such as “cracks”, “rhizomes” and “fronts”. Similarly to what has occurred with the mainstream media, both large and small examples of the alternative media, alongside their widespread prevalence inside the country, have also already transcended the national borders. We argue that mapping the alternative media, embracing newspapers, radio and television channels, cinemas, blogs, forums and platforms, essentially the full range of conventional and new media organs and vehicles, is one of the most useful research approaches to comprehending the nature of alternative politics in Turkey.
The alternative media works as a source of memory and an archive helping to understand the historical and current structure of alternative politics in Turkey. IT also gives voice to alternative ideologies and politics and makes their political activities visible. In addition, the alternative media, which mainly represents the “otherised”, oppressed and marginalised groups, forms the vanguard of struggle against the hegemony and barbarism of the oppressive, globalized neo-liberal society.
Alternative media, as an umbrella term, applies to those media organs which are typically bottom up organisations. In principle, their organizational structures and decision making processes are democratic, participatory, polyphonic and dialogic. Their opposition to the mainstream media finds its roots, in its form and content, in social and political struggles and is based in radical ideologies such as anarchism, radical democracy and Marxism. The existence of alternative media indicates the struggle to construct a truly democratic and free sphere of communication from a number of broad perspectives, varying from the idea of simply being independent from either the state or capital, to being completely opposed to them. In this context, it is also possible to claim that every organ of the alternative media, as a centre of subaltern resistance, is part of a greater alternative communication network.
This so-called alternative network (or networks) is/are the voice of different political or social groups, communities, minorities or even individuals at the grassroots level. Thus, they open the way for these groups to actively participate in political and social life, as either real “agents” or as “spectacles” in the field of symbolic struggle. Therefore, individuals or groups can find opportunities to get involved in both real and symbolic struggles for hegemony, not only as consumers, but also as producers; as active agents.
Therefore, alternative media institutions either on the micro- or macro-scale cannot be considered as combatants solely at the informational level. In addition to their struggle to gather, record and spread news and ideas concerning local, national and transnational problems, they also provide a response to the establishment through real political actions. It is not unusual to see their active participation in protests, or even note that they hold the leadership positions in the organisation of some of these dissident political actions. Therefore, their active struggle with the hegemonic powers can also be considered as an effort to create alternative political forms. More commonly however, alternative media operate as the symbolic production centre of alternative politics and as an incubation ground for the intellectual and ideological constructs of social movements.
Alternative media, along with other dissident institutions, are seen as paving the way for a brighter and more just future by being the voice of the voiceless and contributing to the imagining of a different world. Threatening so-called representative democracy by supporting participatory social, cultural and political activities is also deemed useful to this end. By engaging in such activities, they may be able to cause the transformation of political culture in general. More importantly, however, the ways in which subordinate constituents of the society interpret politics and their own means of participation could change in a positive manner. Moreover, such efforts may also lead to the construction of efficient counter-public spheres alongside the more common examples of alternative spaces.
Diverse anti-systemic, reformist and revolutionary ideological orientations, varied political discourses and different modes of action constituting the alternative media landscape mostly open up an opportunity for the “oppressed” to actively participate in these alternative political spaces that are, to a certain extent, diverse, colourful, vivid and, most importantly, innately dialogic.
In this context, we argue that the “duty” of academia should be to understand these alternatives without stigmatizing them as the source of conflicts within the prevailing social system. After all, we as editors, would like to study these initiatives since the imagining of an alternative world may only be possible by embracing the oppressed and their voice, even though the world around us is not particularly welcoming.
Abstracts of papers are sought on topics such as:
• Radical- militant media (affiliated with revolutionary organizations)
• Radical media (Struggling within legal parameters to push the limits of the existing system
• Identity and rights-based media (Human rights, labour and trade-union rights, gender, environment, ethnicity, struggles based on faith or denomination
• Transnational and diaspora-based alternative media
• Independent, objective, opposition media
• Dissident voices, “cracks” in the mainstream media
However, it should be noted that the categories above do not refer to independent categories with clear differences. It is possible to say that; most examples of the alternative media operating in Turkey can be included under more than one of the rubrics mentioned above. Nevertheless, the alternative media organs in Turkey, despite a degree of permeability in the boundaries that separate them, may be seen as belonging more to one or another of the above-mentioned classifications, therefore, these categories will constitute the book’s chapters.
Furthermore, we are mainly interested in the case studies (comparative if possible) and empirical research possessing theoretical and methodological clarity, and focusing on at least one of three basic dimensions of media studies; such as “Production”, “Text”, or “Audience”, without missing the multi-layered and intertwined relationships between these dimensions.
Abstracts of a maximum of 250 words in Turkish and English outlining the topic, theoretical and methodological approach as well as the research question, should be submitted to either Barış Çoban (bcoban@dogus.edu.tr) or Bora Ataman (bataman@dogus.edu.tr) until January1st 2013.
Announcement of the abstracts selected will be made by February 1 2013.
The deadline for full paper submissions is August 1, 2013
The editors are planning to publish book in Turkish and English and have made an agreement with Yordam, to publish in January 2014.
After the evaluation of the abstracts, negotiations with foreign publishing houses will begin for the English version.

"This research addresses a gap in knowledge of how and why people might use new technologies to interact with television. The emerging medium of interactive television (iTV) is qualitatively different from other screen-based interaction paradigms, including personal computers, console games, and internet-based video services. This qualitative difference means we cannot assume that human computer interaction (HCI) knowledge and guidelines from these other domains can be applied to television use. If iTV is to succeed, it will need to find interaction paradigms appropriate to the television viewing context.
It has been argued that sound theory is a prerequisite for the growth of the discipline of HCI, but that existing HCI theory tends to be too specific for broad application or reuse. HCI theories tend to be borrowed from other disciplines, such as cognitive science, and often prove too complex to be tractable by user interface designers. Hence the call for the development of HCI theory integrating models from related human sciences, formulated to be tractable by designer practitioners. In response to this call, this thesis develops an integrative theory of the user experience of iTV formulated for the use of iTV designers.
A constructivist Grounded Theory methodology was used to derive the theory from data. The theory is based on data collected from: i) three iTV projects investigating interaction approaches for Children’s content, for News programs, and for Messaging applications in a remote western Australian desert community; ii) a detailed analysis of iTV interaction, iii) reviews of relevant literature from HCI, Media Studies and Psychology disciplines. A purpose built database contained more than 1700 discrete theory-related notes, including 94 identified themes, all interlinked by more than 3700 relationships. Twenty five categories were developed from patterns identified in the data through an abductive and inductive process of clustering, sorting, and abstraction; directed by criteria of explanatory power, elegance, coherence, clarity, and precision; with constant comparison to the data. The resultant theory was validated according to its ability to generate hypotheses relevant and useful to iTV design practitioners, and its ability to augment pre-existing design guidelines."

"La marca constituye el principal elemento de todo canal televisivo dónde el tratamiento y uso que se hace de la propia imagen de marca del canal se convierten en fundamentales para atraer la atención de la audiencia y conseguir afinidad entre el público objetivo, el canal y la marca. Con una metodología de estudio basada en la triangulación de métodos científicos, donde convergen las entrevistas en profundidad, el análisis de contenido y la observación descriptiva, este artículo presenta los resultados globales sobre imagen de marca y publicidad extraídos del estudio exhaustivo de los canales infantiles, lo que permite obtener una aproximación a la realidad de los Canales Infantiles Politemáticos en España.

This paper will address the ways in which Lena Dunham, the creator, head writer, producer, sometimes director, and star of the television series "Girls", defies the glorification of traditional femininity and denounces the representations of what Angela McRobbie named the 21st century “postfeminist masquerade.” She also defies the televisual male gaze, as first posited in film theory by Laura Mulvey, by establishing a new form of authorship in TV.

"Recently there has been increased rhetorical interest in how popular culture texts employ mythic rhetoric, especially the heroic quest narrative. Building and expanding prior research, this study employs a feminist approach to mythic rhetoric, which is necessary to expose gender -mystifications that further repress, denigrate, and ignore women. It attempts to do so in a non-essentialistic way, reconceptualizing archetypal imagery of "masculinity," "femininity" and "androgyny" as socially constructed through symbolic discourse, and operating as a dialectical struggle in response to what Vivian Sobchack calls the current crisis in patriarchy. Androgyny, as synthesis of male and female, operates as a complex rhetorical strategy to temporarily resolves the dialectical tensions, reaffirming and transforming gender.
An analysis of the television series, "Beauty and the Beast," reveals the ideological and utopian motives of such reaffirmation and transformation. Ideologically, the "feminization" of the male characters and the "masculinization" of the female characters works to purify patriarchal power by "disassociating" it from its negative aspects (e.g. dualism and a "dominator" mentality). Yet the ambiguity of the androgynous image permits a utopian vision of transformed gender grounded in what Carol Gilligan calls "an ethic of care." The impact of this utopian vision is muted, however, by the reaffirmatory message.
The study concludes with implications for feminist rhetorical criticism. Such analysis not only meets feminist goals, but also broadens the scope of rhetorical inquiry to include a "woman's perspective.""

A movie soundtrack album makes it possible to "take the movie home": By listening to the music over and over again, you re-experience key scenes from the movie - and the emotions you felt the first time you saw these scenes. How does this process work? How does music evoke film scenes and emotions, and how does it interact with film sound and speech on soundtrack albums?
This mini-book opens up a field in the universe of film and media studies. It was first presented as a key note lecture on a large-scale film conference in Seoul, South Korea, in 2010, and has since been appreciated as a key text in film studies by film and media scholars worldwide.
Due to the great demand and appreciation on part of my colleagues from film and media studies, this lecture has now been published as a mini-book (series "Mini Science - Film Studies"), available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JXNNNL8)."

Blogs rest at the cross‐section of politics, media, and discourse. This relatively new medium has injected itself into the spectacle that is campaigns; competing narratives seek to define candidates, lure voters, and wage a war over the ownership of symbols and meaning‐making. Blogs influence the formation of narratives within the political spectacle of campaigns. This article seeks to describe local/regional blogs as social and discursive phenomena that participate in, and provide part of, the discourse of political spectacle. The article looks at this political subculture and attempts to express through an analysis of form, function, and meaning this new, palpable discursive force — a counter to the existing hegemony. The case studies utilized are the local/regional blogospheres that have developed in the states of Connecticut and Virginia. In Connecticut, we analyze the metonymic chains built in the Ned Lamont versus Joe Lieberman senatorial race and, in Virginia, Jim Webb against former lobbyist Harris Miller in the primary and Senator George Allen in the general election.

""This study examines the characterization of blacks in contemporary British- made animated films exploring racial stereotyping and locating significant absences. Recent work produced within Britain has largely been destined for television. This thesis argues that Britain’s multiculturality has not been adequately represented in popular modes of television animation. This is particularly evident in the work of Aardman, Britain’s premier animation studio.
The work involves two components: theory and practice. The first seeks to investigate issues relating to representation, stereotyping, ‘race’ and British multiculturalism. Through selected case studies I show how these concepts operate. I begin by sampling televised popular children’s animation, whose characterization and storylines are subjected to scrutiny. Next I focus on a selection of work from the Aardman studio - whose productions are not specifically aimed at children – to extend my analysis. The second component involves the production of a Claymation film designed specifically to demonstrate how it is possible to counter some of the gaps and problems embedded in black representation.
In Britain there have been several studies within the fields of film and television - and other media forms like photography - that examine representation, stereotyping, ‘race’ and multiculturalism. Again similar work has been done in the US. However there has not been a concerted effort, and a systematic study, that addresses those issues within the framework of televised animation in Britain. Furthermore there are no animation-inspired studies involving practical dimensions that [currently] exist to facilitate the examination of the issues at the centre of my discussion. I show that contextually informed textual analysis and animated filmmaking can be combined to produce an accessible and powerful model for countering negative stereotyping. The results of this study – with an integrated practice element - suggest that a fresh research approach can be offered through Animation Studies.""
