  • 142 CELEBRITY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS AS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TOOLS Ömer Vatanartıran * Özet Abstract
    Ömer Vatanartıran CELEBRITY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS AS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TOOLS Ömer Vatanartıran * Özet Bir ülkeden diğerine resmi ziyaretler, yerleşik temsilcilikler ya da üst düzey devlet görevlileri- nin görüşmeleri gibi daha kapalı, önceden çizilmiş üslupların ve iletişim yollarının titizlikle takip edildiği geleneksel diplomasinin karşılıklı iletişime, etkileşime ve ortak değer üretimine dayalı daha açık, esnek ve ulaşılabilir kamu diplomasisine evriminde, kitle iletişim teknolojilerinin rolü kaçınılmazdır. Özellikle dijital medya, diplomasinin sadece resmi aktörlerinin çevrimiçi temsilini ve daha kolay temasını mümkün kılmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda toplumların her kesim ve düzeyinden yurttaşa etkileşim imkanı tanımış- tır. Kendiliğinden bir kültürel diplomasi başarı hikayesine dönüşen Türk dizilerinin artık dünyaca tanınan oyuncuları da, sosyal medyada dünyanın dört bir yanından takipçileriyle etkileşim halindedir. Bu olgunun, Türkiye’nin yabancı kamuoyu ile temasında dijital diplomasi aracı olarak nasıl bir potansiyel taşıdığını anlamak için yabancı ülkelerde yayına giren “Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne?” dizisinin başrol oyuncusu Beren Saat’in Instagram hesabı incelenmiştir. Bu içerik analizi, uluslararası ölçekte tanınan dizi yüzlerinin dijital hesaplarının global bir mikro kamusal alan niteliği taşıdığını ve daha etkili dijital diplomasi iletişim strate- jisi için verimli bir kaynak oluşturduğunu göstermiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Dijital diplomasi, kamusal alan, uluslararası şöhret, kamu diplomasisi, stratejik ileti- şim, Türk TV dizileri Abstract The evolution of traditional diplomacy carried out during the formal visits or summits of perma- nent representative agencies or high level protocols in a relatively closed, neatly planned, and procedural environments to a more open, flexible, and accessible way of a public diplomacy, which is based on mu- tual communication, interaction, and creation of a common value would not have been possible without the transformation of communication technologies.

  • Romanticizing Rape in the Turkish TV Series: Fatmagul'un Suçu Ne? and the Female Moroccan Fans
    Journal of Applied Language and Culture Studies, Issue 2, 2019, pp. 175-192 Romanticizing Rape in the Turkish TV Series: Fatmagul’un Suçu Ne? and the Female Moroccan Fans Ouidyane EL Ouardaoui Chouaib Doukkali University, El Jadida, Morocco To cite this article: EL Ouardaoui, O. (2019). Romanticizing rape in the Turkish TV series: Fatmagul’un Suçu Ne? and the female Moroccan fans. Journal of Applied Language and Culture Studies, 2, 175-192. Abstract Turkish TV series first appeared on Arab television in the period of 2007-2008. Ihlamurlar Altinda[Under the Linden Trees] (Kanal D, 2005) and Gumus [Silver] (Kanal D, 2005) were the first Turkish series that aired on Arab TV. They were translated from Turkish to Arabic as Sanawat Aldaya’a [The Lost Years] and Noor, and were shown on MBC (the Middle-East Broadcasting Channel) from 2007-2009. Fatmagul’un Suçu Ne? [What is Fatmagul’s Fault?] (Kanal D, 2010), known in the Arab world simply by the title of Fatma aired on MBC in 2013, after being dubbed in Syrian Arabic. Fatmagul’un Suçu Ne? traces the psychological and social sufferings of a simple village girl who was sexually assaulted by four men, a few days before her wedding’s date. Fatma’s story undergoes a drastic change when she voluntarily accepts to marry one of the rapists, Kerim, though the viewers find out later that he did not touch Fatma but did nothing to save her, too. In this paper, I discuss through close textual analysis how the television drama Fatmagul does not only contribute in normalizing rape, but also exploits the commonplace melodramatic ingredients in fiction that are characterized by excess such as the loss of consciousness, eavesdropped 175 conversations, last-minute rescues and unpredictable love stories (Brooks, 1995) in order to romanticize the most aggressive sexual aggression against women.

Prof. Dr. Colleen Bevin Kennedy Karpat January 2017 Fidelity discussion has a long history in adaptation studies and despite all negative criticism towards fidelity concern, the discussion about fidelity still remains. This thesis, with its audience based perspective, aims to contribute to this discussion by exploring the spectators’ perception about fidelity with a discourse analysis in respect of two main questions: Do audiences care about fidelity? If so, what does fidelity mean according to them? To investigate these issues, two Turkish TV series, Aşk-ı Memnu (Forbidden Love) and Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi (Behzat Ç. An Ankara Detective Story) are selected as case studies and discourse analysis, as a method, is used. In order to gather information about their reception, analyzing Ekşi Sözlük (Sour Dictionary) entries about these two series’ is used as the methodology. Susers’, who are also readers and spectators, entries who mentioned their idea about fidelity and adaptation are collected and they compared between these cases.

Senem Çevik Ankara University Abstract The rise of Turkish soap operas as a phenomenon, particularly in the Middle East, is a fairly new development.

This paper examines the role of soap operas as a cultural diplomacy tool within the context of identity and the social implications that are prompted by these media exports. Key words Cultural diplomacy, soap operas, identity, identification, women, Turkey. Biography B.

Prof. Dr. Colleen Bevin Kennedy-Karpat August 2020 Celebrated individuals are everywhere in the consumerist societies in which technology is developing rapidly, and their impact as social phenomenona on the societies, media, and consuming habits is significant. Although celebrities as individuals and celebrity culture have been the topic of media and cultural studies since the late 90s and there is a rich and growing body of literature in the field, there is almost no previous study tackling the issue in Turkey. This thesis investigates the notion of celebrity in Turkey and how the celebrity system functions, by examining three strong cases: Seda Sayan, Cem Yılmaz, and Acun Ilıcalı, and their individual identity construction processes. By adopting foundational theories with respect to the cultural specificities and differences, and examining the recurring patterns in three different cases, it aims to reveal how Turkish media situates celebrities within the broader framework of culture.
