During the 2010s in Turkey, LGBTQ activists, groups, and
individuals persisted against social, political, and legal
adversity. Erasure during the Gezi Park Protests in 2013, a Pride
parade ban in Istanbul in 2016, and indefinite ban on all LGBTQ
events in Ankara in 2017 directly aimed at ending the activities,
visibility, and existence of LGBTQ organization in the two biggest
cities in Turkey. This work examines the ways in which LGBTQ
activists engaged in talkback against these restrictions that
impacted the lives of LGBTQ individuals and how said individuals
endured such adversity. Focusing on the elements of discourse used
by LGBTQ activists, this work argues oppositional discourses need
to address as well as remedy the various elements of normative
discourses-constructions of space, time, and affect-in order to be
deemed a talkback, instead of merely perpetuating the normativities
of oppressive discourses.

This book explores the communication challenges faced by parents as
they raise children who are bi-cultural, multi-cultural, or are
adopted from a heritage other than the parents. Each contributor
views the family as a site of intercultural dialogue and mediation,
and uses compelling studies throughout to examine the parents who
creatively balance cultural influences within their families. Using
television depictions of parents on Modern Family and All-American
Muslim to the everyday activities of mixed-ethnicity and
international families, Mediating Cultures reports the
communication strategies employed by the parents as they strive to
create affirming relationships between children and their
heritages. This collection brings together two largely separate
literatures of family communication and intercultural communication
studies with accessible yet context-driven studies to explain how
families integrate multiple cultural heritages and perspectives.
Locating Queerness in the Media: A New Look examines how media
images of the LGBTQ community create a universal consciousness
about the existence of queer people, ranging from tragic and
villainous to upbeat and courageous. In this book, contributors

LGBTQ community. It examines what a queer sensibility means and how
the queer community is creating new ways to study itself.
Throughout the book, contributors explore specific media images
that resonate throughout the media, casting the community in a
particular manner. Ultimately, its goal is to promote an
understanding of the LGBTQ community.
