One of the most crowded diasporic communities in Europe are the Turkish community, and the majority of them reside in Germany. Nowadays, social media platforms, such as Facebook, gives them the opportunity to get together online and help them to create online imagined communities via groups and pages on Facebook. For this study, we selected the “Turks in Germany” page on Facebook to examine. In accordance with this purpose, the selected page’s one-year activity is textually analyzed. We used qualitative content analysis and examined different discourses that are circulating on this page to construct an online imagined community, based on Benedict Anderson’s theory. The results suggest that, on the Turkish-German Facebook groups and pages the imagined community is mostly built in relation to the country of origin, rather than the country of residence.
Music has always been an indispensable element of cinema since the silent movie era. Yet with the advent of sound, music became a part of the movie as a defining element. Sound effects and music are being used in horror and science fiction genres in order to emotively affect the spectator and bring them into the world that is created in the movie; and are as important as the visual setting and narrative structure. Dystopian science fiction movies, which are a subgenre of the science-fiction genre, depict a dark future and use music to support this depiction. Generally, rock and metal music are utilized in these kinds of movies because the critical words of songs and heavily distorted electric guitars suit well the environs depicted in dystopic science fiction. In this paper, the musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera" (Daren Lynn Boussman, 2008) will be examined and how the dystopic atmosphere of the movie fits to its music; and how the music plays an essential role in creating this atmosphere will be studied. Combining the slasher subgenre with dystopic science fiction and linking it to the musical and the gaining of a cult following in a short amount of time is the reason why the movie is chosen.
Özet: Medya ve propaganda üzerine yapılmış birçok çalışma olsa da, internet yayıncılığında propagandayı konu alan yeterli sayıda çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Çalışma, internet yayıncılığının interaktif yapısı sayesinde, kullanıcılar ile girdiği etkileşim sonucu ortaya çıkan sonuçları konu almaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Ahsen TV isimli internet üzerinden yayıncılık yapan kuruluşun derlediği sokak röportajları incelenecek, röportaj içeriklerinin başlık ve açıklamalar ile tutarlılığı irdelenecektir. Ahsen TV isimli kuruluşun internet sitesinde sokak röportajlarının yanı sıra farklı içerikler bulunsa da, bu içerikler çalışmaya dahil edilmemiştir. Sokak röportajlarının incelenmesi bağlamında yapısal çözümleme yöntemi ile başlık ve açıklamada vaat edilen unsurların içerik ile ne ölçüde örtüştüğü analiz edilecektir. Analizler sonucunda ortaya çıkacak olası bulgu, Ahsen TV'nin web sitesinde bulunan sokak röportajlarından, web sitesini takip eden kişiler tarafından favoriye alınmış siyasi içerikli olanlar üzerinden propaganda yapıldığıdır. Amaç, analizler sonucunda ortaya çıkan verilerde, tutarlılığı düşük olarak saptanan videolarda bulunan provokatif unsurların, propagandist bir nitelik taşıdığını ortaya koymaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ahsen TV, propaganda, provokatif, internet yayıncılığıExtended Abstract: There have been several studies concerning media and propaganda, however there are no sufficient studies about Internet publishing and propaganda.
