Den Platz lesen. Çapulcu-Figuren des Protests in der Türkei

Abstract

The antigovernment protests in Turkey in 2013 were characterized by diverse and mobile practices of resistance that are connected in various ways with media and mediality. In addition to alternative media and counterpublics, rallies and demonstrations, the protests especially used media-aesthetic figures as well as and rhetorical, discursive and visual figures. The article sketches a selection of these protest figures between politics, communication design, advertising, art, and critique. While the use of social media produces has the effect of mobilizing, accelerating, and internationalizing the protests, ironic semiotic tactics carried out by the communication guerrillas act between theft and appropriation, overaffirmation and reversal, and set in motion an antihegemonic game of semiotic multiplicity in the field of bodies and media.
