    The Impact of Audience Feedback on Sns User's Self - Representation in the New Media Age
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Ali, Yasmin Essam Said; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    This thesis examines the relationship between audience feedback and selfrepresentation on Facebook using Erving Goffman's dramaturgical model, focusing on the conceptions of audience and context on Facebook of Facebook-using students at Kadir Has University. I am exploring participants' perspectives in four main areas: Audience Feedback on Facebook user's posts and photos; examining user's response to audience feedback; investigating user's self-representation on Facebook; and finally examining if people's online and offline personalities are different and if they are presenting themselves differently in different situations and with different people. I examine the impact of audience feedback on Facebook users' behavior, and understand how Facebook users is re-presenting themselves online. Theoretically, I consider Goffman's model, by applying it to the findings and results of this study.

    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Yavuz, Nilufer Zeynep; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    This study analyzes the narrative structure of the computer games after the emergence of the computer technology which provides an opportunity for the game designers to create more extensive narrative structures. The aim is to introduce a framework which contains J. Campbell’s “monomyth” theory and C. Vogler’s modernization of the same theory specify the indicatives thereafter create an understanding of game narrative in an approach that is correspondent with the classical narrative structure. This thesis tries to indicate whether the entrance of a new perception of technology which brings the interactivity notion to human life changes the practices and the fundamentals of the classical narrative structure. The purpose of this thesis is to understand how the adventure game scenarios are constituted to see if the structure of the games have overtones of the classical narrative and to determine the influence of the interactivity by picking two games of adventure genre and analyzing their quest lines.

    New Media as a Space for Memory-Making in the Context of Visual Representations of Socio-Political Events
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Cebeci, Gamze; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    This thesis aims to discuss how narratives of socio-political events are represented through new media and attempts to reveal the effects of this usage in construction of memory. Three cases, namely "Map of Women Patrons' Structures in Ottoman Istanbul", Networks of Dispossession and projects of Hafıza Merkezi, were analyzed and expert interviews were made with the project coordinators. As a result of the analysis and after theoretical explanations that were applied to account for it, the role of new media in memory-making was underlined for its capacity to preserve and represent information as well as generate knowledge and provide access to it. It can be concluded that this study is a particular case of a broader phenomenon; it is only limited to the cases, however, by revealing the research processes and evaluation of finished products of the cases, it is believed that the inferences may lead to further studies that could deepen the analysis.

    Intercultural Learning in Schools Through Telecollaboration? a Critical Case Study of Etwinning Between Turkey and Germany
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    Digital media offer various possibilities for internet-based telecollaboration in schools and open up a space for intercultural learning. Diverse initiatives like such as the European Union-initiative eTwinning network aim to support telecollaboration projects in education. This article argues that we need to develop critical and grounded understanding of telecollaboration projects and how they are being embedded in the context of existing school cultures. The article presents an in-depth case study of a telecollaboration project between a Turkish and a German school. On the basis of observations in schools interviews with teachers and focus groups with pupils the article argues that there are two main challenges that limit the experience of intercultural learning in the analysed project. The first point is about the strong teacher-centred project design and the discrepancy between the perspectives of teachers and pupils. The second point is the rather simplistic and superficial understanding of culture which reasserts national cultures instead of promoting a more open perspective that influences the project tasks and topics.

    Policies of Media and Cultural Integration in Germany: From Guestworker Programmes To a More Integrative Framework
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2014) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    After the arrival of the first labour migrants in Germany in the 1960s a gradual change in the perception of migrants in German politics took place: from guests (Gastarbeiter) and foreigners (Ausländer) to citizens as members of a new form of 'us' that is constructed within diversity. These transformations were reflected in Germany's migration-related policies throughout recent history. This article focuses on media-related policies for cultural integration which go hand in hand with the developments in the general migration policy framework analysing different phases after the 1960s. In general we observe an increasing institutionalization of integration policies a more comprehensive understanding of the role of the media for integration purposes and a diversification of measures even more rapidly after the enactment of the Immigration Act in 2004. Cultural diversity is now emphasized as an enriching factor for the German mediascape. However there continues to be a need for long-term policies in order to improve media diversity in practice. © The Author(s) 2014.

    Incorporating the Non-Expert Publıic To Heritage Practices From Below
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Toktaş, Özge; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
    in our 21st century cultural heritage field grows to be much more dynamic participatory open to change and dialogue. The scope of cultural heritage too broadens. People who are supposed to inherit heritage are acknowledged as not just mere inheritors anymore but also as the creators of heritage itself. Quite supportive of this development new media lead the way of hearing user-generated contents in cultural heritage practices that used to be strictly confined to the expert-based opinions. in light of these progresses this thesis endeavors to make visible the efforts of incorporating the non-expert public to heritage practices from below in Turkey. Although there are institutional efforts of integrating the public to the cultural heritage practices through new media and there are studies on such efforts the heritage practices from below are quite neglected by the scholarly literature here in Turkey. Following up this fact this thesis elaborates on the four cases which embrace a bottom-up heritage discourse in Turkey. Adopting an ethnographic approach the thesis analyzes the four chosen cases (Ýstanbul Kent Savunmasi Memory Map UrbanObscura Adalara Ses Ol) through in depth interviews and concludes with an argument that to achieve a bottom-up application of such participatory discourse is difficult while the expert’s dominance design and guidance is still impenetrable. Altogether the cases examined here indeed variegate heritage stories.

    News-Sharing Repertoires on Social Media in the Context of Networked Authoritarianism: the Case of Turkey
    (USC ANNENBERG PRESS, 2020) Koçer, Süncem; Bozdağ, Çiğdem
    Social media has become a primary gateway for users to access news, especially in authoritarian states with strictly controlled media environments. In such contexts, it is crucial to understand the motivations that prompt users to share news on social media. Our qualitative multimethod study presents three patterns of news-sharing repertoires on social media: (1) refraining from sharing and/or self-censorship, (2) sharing overtly political news, and (3) sharing news with political implications in carefully crafted safe zones. In Turkey, these patterns are strongly influenced by the polarized and increasingly authoritarian setting. Our findings first contribute to the literature on news sharing and news repertoires through an in-depth study of news-sharing repertories that emphasize the role of social and political contexts. Second, we contribute to the literature on social media and authoritarianism by shedding light on a rather understudied group of users who do not completely self-censor and are not political activists but still share news with political implications online in a cautious and strategic way.
