“…Research into citizens' political communication and mobilization on Twitter have so far overwhelmingly focused on the political hashtags and political keywords as markers of political talk (see Jungherr, 2016;Larsson & Moe, 2012;Ogan & Varol, 2017;Tumasjan, Sprenger, Sandner, & Welpe, 2011;Vaccari et al, 2015;Wright, Graham, & Jackson, 2015). By providing access to a considerable amount of political talk centered on specific issues, hashtags and keywords allow one to gain detailed insights into the ways users mobilize and make meaning around political concerns.…”

This paper reports on the second Workshop of a World University Network (WUN) Research Development Funded project on "The trans-nationalization of Indigenous movements: The role of digital technologies" at the University of Southampton, UK. The workshop explored interdisciplinarity and how interdisciplinary collaboration can help scholars study complex social phenomenon, such as the ways in which marginalized Indigenous communities use and shape digital technologies (such as social media) to enhance their cause. The workshop brought together scholars from diverse disciplines to engage in a critical debate. In addition to scholars from information systems, scholars from history, political science, geography, literature, arts, and anthropology came together to discuss how marginalized Indigenous communities can use digital media. The workshop highlighted the need for more interdisciplinary research and called for more critical approaches to bring such marginalized topics to the forefront of research in information systems. We consider three broad areas of inquiry in this paper: demarginalizing methodology for interdisciplinary research, interdisciplinary perspectives for demarginalization, and interdisciplinary contexts for demarginalization.In this section, each presenter summarizes their presentation in their own voice. We classify the presentations into three sections based on their focus: 1) demarginalizing methods for interdisciplinary research, 2) interdisciplinary perspectives for demarginalization, and 3) interdisciplinary contexts of demarginalization

“…On social media, the aesthetics of indignation served to reproduce the atmosphere of the occupation at Gezi, broadly framed as an 'injustice' perpetrated against peaceful demonstrators. On Twitter, the swell of information shared during Occupy Gezi made the movement visible both to its supporters, through the circulation of information pertaining to the movement's coordination or participant turnout, and to the media, through the accounting of police violence (Ogan and Varol 2017;Jost et al 2018). In this chapter, we review Twitter user perceptions of Occupy Gezi and discuss attempts by Gezi protestors to achieve media visibility through this social network.…”

The Aesthetics of Global Protest

With the benefit of hindsight, this chapter casts another glance at Occupy Gezi, a landmark protest in contemporary Turkey. We reflect on the pursuit of visibility by activists on Twitter as a means to garner the attention of the Turkish and the global public to the heavy-handed police crackdown of the popular mobilization. We interpret their quest for visibility as a 'subaltern tactic' employed to reverse an asymmetry of power through an aesthetics of indignation at the injustice perpetrated against peaceful demonstrators. In the longer run, however, such visibility poses an important dilemma when, as in the case of Turkey, it becomes the basis for reflexive state surveillance.

Protestors across the world use aesthetics in order to communicate their ideas and ensure their voices are heard. This book looks at protest aesthetics, which we consider to be the visual and performative elements of protest, such as images, symbols, graffiti, art, as well as the choreography of protest actions in public spaces. Through the use of social media, protestors have been able to create an alternative space for people to engage with politics that is more inclusive and participatory than traditional politics. This volume focuses on the role of visual culture in a highly mediated environment and draws on case studies from Europe, Thailand, South Africa, USA, Argentina, and the Middle East in order to demonstrate how protestors use aesthetics to communicate their demands and ideas. It examines how digital media is harnessed by protestors and argues that all protest aesthetics are performative and communicative.
