    Salgın sürecinde Romanların gündelik hayatındaki dönüşümün medyadaki görünümü
    (İdeal Kent Yayınları, 2021) Uştuk, Ozan; Güleç, Ece
    This study examines the transformation of the everyday life of Roma communities during the Covid-19 pandemic through media coverages by focusing on their living spaces, public spaces where they continue their economic activities and build their relations with local governments. Examining the culture-centered discourses revolving around the central and local governmental interventions towards the Roma living spaces amidst the pandemic and the relevant media exposure is herein essential so as to understand the power dynamics between Romani communities and political actors. Employing a critical discourse analysis method, we have initially drawn a general framework about extreme poverty, and subsequently surveying the media coverage on the Roma people. Against this backdrop, we firstly looked at the media depiction of the Roma’s experiences regarding extreme poverty. Secondly, we interpreted the rise of racist discourses accompanying the transformation of everyday life and how are these discourses conceal inequalities regarding class inequalities. Thirdly, we investigated the damage caused by local authorities to the living spaces of Roma and the interrelation of these damages to neoliberal urban policies. Finally, we engaged a critical reading of the news, in which we noticed the struggle of Roma people is instrumentalized by political actors into their agendas.
