The representation of poverty to be established with the external gaze is one of the main problems of the studies on poverty and representation. Along with the time course of the conceptualization of new-poverty, urban poverty has become permanent in Turkey. In this process, due to their deprivation which is caused by poverty and seems to be perceived as deficiency, new poor are excluded from society. The aim of the present study is to examine the problems of the scavengers established upon the way they experience these problems and to analyze the magazine named Katık which is prepared by scavengers in terms of the relation of poverty and representation. In this study poverty is searched by the means of social, cultural, enviromental and political exclusion. It is not seen just as an economical approach that’s based on concrete criteria and evaluated by attaining the essential needs. Mainstream media relates poverty to crime, disregarding the context sees the problem as an individualistic matter and/or presents it only quantitatively. In the magazine, Scavengers’ prob- lems, association struggles, life stories, letters and poems written by them are published. Through the magazine, scavengers who are deprived of the representation right challenge their invisibility. The importance of the magazine is that it allows poor subalterns talking of themselves and it is an area that they are represented by themselves. In this way they reach out to public and find the opportunity to represent themselves. But the representation is not unproblematic. In the study the conflicts ot the relationship between possibility and impossibility of representation are indicated.
