ASULIS Discourse, Dialogue, Democracy Laboratory
Carrying the Media Watch on Hate Speech Project of the Hrant Dink Foundation which has been continuing since 2009 a step further, ASULIS is the first social sciences laboratory in Turkey that struggles against discrimination, works on discourse studies and supports the efforts carried out in this field. Aspiring to be a pioneering, innovative and interdisciplinary structure, it confronts discrimination and discriminatory discourses in various contexts and create a space that serves human rights, democratization, equality and pluralism.
In this episode of Söylemin Halleri, we talked about the legal regulations on artificial intelligence tools with our guest lawyer Selin Çetin.
Hrant Dink Foundation Hate Speech Digital Archive is composed of the reports produced and newspaper clippings collected under the foundation's 'Media Watch on Hate Speech' project, implemented between 2009 and 2019.
Through critical discourse analysis, we examined the news articles and columns that contain hate speech targeting national, ethnic and religious identity groups and LGBTI+ people in the print media in July, August and September 2024.
This analysis focuses on how hate speech is generated in discussions on Twitter following the presidential and parliamentary elections held on May 14.
