On 7 October 2016, the American Evangelical Pastor Andrew Brunson was summoned to a local police station in Izmir, Turkey. Brunson thought he would be receiving a long-awaited permanent residence card. He went to the police department on 7 October 2016. The police told him that he would be deported and referred him to the Immigration Bureau. While Brunson was awaiting deportation, on 9 December 2016, he was detained and formally arrested. This event caused a political crisis between Turkey and the United States (US) and also sparked discussions among Turkish Twitter users. These discussions provided an opportunity to qualitatively analyze Twitter data. This paper's quantitative data consists of 7,000 tweets posted by Turkish users related to Pastor Brunson. This study analyzes a subset of 364 tweets randomly selected from 7,000 tweets. The analysis suggests that a qualitative content analysis method is useful for understanding Twitter data. Additionally, it produced results that help us understand how Turkish Twitter users discussed the Brunson case.

This article establishes a discussion in the scope of memory policies based on two works of Rosângela Rennó: Cicatriz and Imemorial. The works are analyzed through a hybrid understanding of memory, articulating concepts from Sigmund Freud and Walter Benjamin, as well as from authors that allow us to relaunch issues related to the body, trauma and anachronism, such as Hannah Arendt, Didi-Huberman, Grada Kilomba and Márcio Seligmann-Silva. Through the artist's works, we revisit and articulate the bodies and the history traumas, both marked by exclusion, forgetfulness and silence. We also emphasize the need for narratives capable of harboring their marks and elaborating new possibilities of existence. In this way, we seek to expand the reverberations of the inexorable marks of bodies and times.
