    From sacrificing sister to star sister: the history of queer celebrity in Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis Online, 2022) Duyan, Yektanurşin
    This article investigates the relationship between celebrity and queerness in Turkey by examining the social media celebrities Kerimcan Durmaz, Selin Ciğerci, and Murat Övüç. Although they resemble lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) celebrities from earlier periods, queer Turkish celebrities on digital platforms like Instagram can enrich our understanding of general changes to queer celebrity in modern Turkey. While the secular nature of the Turkish Republic is revered by many, Islam is often regarded as the essence of Turkish culture. In this context, queerness is stringently repressed by religiously informed national norms, with the stage representing the sole avenue for tacitly accepted queer expression.1 For this reason, most queer artists make use of Islamic discourse. For example, they emphasise their Muslim identity and make frequent references to Allah in conversations, interviews, performances, and songs. In essence, they emphasise that they are Muslims in all circumstances and under all conditions. Any attempt to analyse and understand queer celebrity and conservative discourse in Turkey calls for a reflection on Islam and secularism. Examining these connections will be the task of this study

    The sound of silence: Breathing analysis for finding traces of trauma and depression in oral history archives
    (Oxford Academic, 2021) Akdag Salah, Almila; Salah, Albert Ali; Kaya, Heysem; Doyran, Metehan; Kavcar, Evrim
    Many people experience a traumatic event during their lifetime. In some extraordinary situations, such as natural disasters, war, massacres, terrorism, or mass migration, the traumatic event is shared by a community and the effects go beyond those directly affected. Today, thanks to recorded interviews and testimonials, many archives and collections exist that are open to researchers of trauma studies, holocaust studies, and historians, among others. These archives act as vital testimonials for oral history, politics, and human rights. As such, they are usually either transcribed or meticulously indexed. In this work, we propose to look at the nonverbal signals emitted by victims of various traumatic events when they describe the trauma and we seek to render these for novel representations without taking into account the explicit verbal content. Our preliminary paralinguistic analysis on a manually annotated collection of testimonials from different archives, as well as on a corpus prepared for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder detection indicates a tentative connection between breathing and emotional states of speakers, which opens up new possibilities of exploring oral history archives.
