Digital Transformations in Turkey analyzes the genesis, dynamics,
and operations of different communication contexts in relation to
digital transformations in Turkey. The contributors tackle such
topics as the impact of social networking channels like Facebook,
YouTube, and Twitter and the changing dimensions of social,
cultural, and political ideologies. Akdenizli offers a multifaceted
and balanced discussion of the role and impact of communication
technologies in a country with questionable and blatant freedom of
expression violations. This collection will appeal to scholars of
communication, new media, and technology in emerging markets.
This volume provides an overview of the landscape of mediated
female agencies and subjectivities in the last decade. In three
sections, the book covers the films of women directors, television
shows featuring women in lead roles, and the representational
struggles of women in cultural context, with a special focus on
changes in the transformative power of narratives and images across
genres and platforms. This collection derives from the editors'
multi-year experiences as scholars and practitioners in the field
of film and television. It is an effort that aims to describe and
understand female agencies and subjectivities across screen
narratives, gather scholars from around the world to generate
timely discussions, and inspire fellow researchers and
practitioners of film and television.

Editorial cartoonists, like many journalists, writers, and
intellectuals, in Turkey faced various obstacles after the 1980
military intervention. Restrictions on their professional lives
came in two different ways. For the editorial cartoonists who work
for a mainstream newspaper, the monopolization as a consequence of
liberal economy and non-existence of anti-trust laws became more
threatening than the governmental taboos such as the Kurdish
dispute in the 1990s. By tackling the Kurdish issue, and by often
taking sides in favor of Kurdish people or sympathizing with their
cause, these editorial cartoonists easily became the target of
government oppression. Their sharp criticism of Turkey's human
rights violations, the perpetual civil war taking place in the
southeastern part of Anatolia, or any topic other than the official
history came with a heavy price. This study highlights the
situation of the Turkish editorial cartoonists, who have been thus
far ignored and mostly left in the dark, by emphasizing the
delicate issues and taboos in the two decades following the 1980
military coup. It also sheds a light on the rapid transformation of
the Turkish press.
