Abstract
Bu çalışmada Türk Başbakan Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın Türkiye'deki Gezi Parkı olayları çerçevesinde sergilediği otoriter duruş eleştirel söylem analizi pratiğinde ve Fransız filozof Louis Althusser'in ideoloji ve devlet aygıtlarını öngören ifadeleri doğrultusunda sunulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Erdoğan'ın neden böyle bir tutum sergilediği ve bunu sırası ile medya, polis ve dini kullanarak kamusal söylemine nasıl yansıttığının cevaplarını bulmak amaçlanmıştır. Başlıktan anlaşıldığı üzere böyle bir tavrın ne şekilde sergilendiği ve karşılığında halktan nasıl tepkiler aldığına karşılaştırmalı olarak yer verilmektedir.
