“…I would like to substantiate the general non-neutrality of memory-making on the social networks by turning to a case in point: the Memories feature of Facebook that offers the users recollections of their past activities. In this, I will pay close attention how a specific representation and identity of users that Facebook brings about (Smutradontri and Gadavanij, 2020).…”

This paper explores the productive role that social network platforms such as Facebook, play in the practice of memory-making. While such platforms facilitate interaction across distance and time, they also solidify human self-expression and memory-making by systematically confronting the users with their digital past. By relying on the framework of postphenomenology, the analysis will scrutinize the mediating role of the Memories feature of Facebook, powered by recurring algorithmic scheduling and devoid of meaningful context. More specifically, it will show how this technological infrastructure mediates the concepts of memory, control and space, evoking a specific interpretation of the values of time, remembering and forgetting. As such, apart from preserving memories, Facebook appears as their co-producer, guiding the users in determining the criteria for remembering and forgetting. The paper finishes with suggestions on how to critically appropriate the memory-making features of social network platforms that would both enable their informed use and account for their mediating role in co-shaping good memories.

“…Bu üretim şekline örnek olarak hayranların sosyal ağlarda yazdığı ana hikâyenin alternatifi ya da devamı şeklindeki kısa öyküler, karakterlerle ilgili photoshop çalışmaları, grafikler, kısa filmler gösterilebilmektedir. Böylece hayran toplulukları medya içeriğini pasif bir şekilde tüketmek yerine kısmen kendilerine ait olan anlamları özgürce şekillendirebilmektedir (Smutradontri & Gadavanji, 2020).…”

Giriş 20. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında etkisini hissettiren postmodernizm, kültürel üretim, tüketim ve anlamlandırma pratiklerini etkisi altına aldığı gibi anlatı pratiklerini de değiştirmiştir. Keskin çizgiler ile çizilen anlatı kurallarının sınırları silikleşerek, başka metinlerden bağımsız bir sanat eserinin yaratılamayacağı vurgulanmaktadır. Günümüzde, teknolojinin gelişmesi ile birlikte web 2.0 altyapısının oluşması ve bireylerin istedikleri zaman ve istedikleri yerden her türlü medya platformuna ulaşabilmeleri anlatı yapılarını da etkilemektedir. Süreç içerisinde gelişen sosyal medya, film-dizi izleme platformları, bloglar, video oyun, interaktif gerçeklik ürünleri günlük hayatın içinde çok fazla yer edinmesi ve edebiyat, sinema, oyun sektörlerinin sunum ve tüketim alanlarında yeni yönelimler oluşturmasını beraberinde getirmektedir.

This article investigated the fans’ identity among ARMY BTS Indonesia, the fandom name for BTS fans. The study aimed to explore factors driving K-Pop fanaticism in Indonesia in general and how it affected their dynamics within the society. Using a quantitative method through online surveys based on the fans-identity scale approach, the research surveyed a total of 243 fans in Indonesia using a network sampling approach. Results showed that fans were considerably proud to be recognized as BTS fans. In terms of the drives of their fanaticism, three main factors played into the role namely: the enjoyment feelings surged when listening to BTS music, the emotional connection toward BTS, and the social connection. These three factors were well correlated, reflecting the same construct. The latter incorporated the fans’ fascination toward idols’ works and their need to actively participate in online platforms. Fans’ participation in online platforms not only catered for their need to socialize with fans alike and showcase their adoration toward their idols but also being able to proudly show their identity as loyal fans.
