[Commlist] Contextualizing Hacktivism: The Criminalization of Redhac CARGC Paper 10

The Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication at the 
Annenberg School for Communication is proud to present CARGC Paper 10, 
“Contextualizing Hacktivism: The Criminalization of Redhack” by Bülay 
Doğan (Koç University).

Through an empirical examination of the criminalization of the Turkish 
hacktivist group Redhack in social, legal, and cultural discourses, 
Doğan explores the critical conflation of hacktivism with 
cyber-terrorism that enables states to criminalize non-violent 
hacktivist groups.

In his introduction, CARGC Director Marwan M. Kraidy asserts “in 
examining how Redhack constitutes an anomaly, and in exploring how 
anomalies point to the necessity of grounded, context-sensitive 
research, Doğan contributes conceptual development beyond Turkey and 
beyond hacktivism. In doing so, this publication embodies CARGC’s 
mission to set regional expertise and theoretical advancement in a 
heuristic tension with each other.”

Bülay Doğan is currently a doctoral candidate at the Department of Media 
and Visual Arts in Koç University (Istanbul). A graduate of Galatasaray 
University with a BA in Political Science, she received her MA in Modern 
Turkish History from Boğaziçi University. In her doctoral studies, she 
is primarily studying the interaction of social movements and ideology 
with science and technology. Her research also focuses on Information 
Technology and criminal laws and includes the sociology of the state.

Doğan was a Fulbright Scholar and Fellow at the Center for Advanced 
Research in Global Communication in 2017-2018. She is also a member of 
the Union for Democratic Communications and a founder and executive 
board member of the Ozgen Berkol Doğan Science Fiction Library, a unique 
association specialized in science fiction, fantasy, and horror 
literatures in Turkey.
