Challenging the Influence of Interactivity on Narrative Structures in Digital Games. an Analysis of Adventure Genres
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Yavuz, Nilufer Zeynep; Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem; 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; 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; 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.
