    Chatgpt as a Solution To Emotional Loneliness: a New Tool for Interpersonal Communication
    (Marmara Univ, Fac Communication, 2024) Sarioglu, Elif Basak; Guregen, Esra Pelin; Yeni Medya ve İletişim Bölümü
    Loneliness stands as one of the most pervasive and universal health issues in contemporary society. This study, conducted within the scope of emotional loneliness, delves into the nuances of loneliness, understanding its origin and how it manifests in individuals. In the research where students from the Faculty of Communication of a foundation university in Istanbul were chosen as the sample, the data collected through in-depth interviews, a qualitative data collection tool, were analyzed using content analysis method. This phenomenological research design aimed to assess participants' attitudes toward utilizing a chatbot (ChatGPT) as a tool to combat emotional loneliness. Despite their generally positive disposition and strong tendency to anthropomorphize, participants were found to approach the use of ChatGPT with caution. The majority harbored negative judgments about ChatGPT and technological tools meeting emotional and social needs. However, a significant portion believes that the widespread adoption of ChatGPT and similar tools for socialization is imminent in the near future. Concerns predominantly revolve around mistrust in artificial intelligence technologies' ability to meet emotional needs and the potential harms they could inflict on socio-cultural life, with ethical issues forming another major theme. Notably, when expressing their apprehensions, participants frequently referenced artificial intelligence representations in popular culture, such as films, series, and games.

    Avatar: a Film at the Center of the Feminine Other
    (Univ Pittsburgh, Univ Library System, 2025) Dereboyu, Pelin Guregen; Guzel, Ebru; Olaru, Gabriela Oana; Ayberk, Erhan
    This study analyzes James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar from the perspective of the feminine other through deconstruction. In the movie, nature and the Na'vi people are depicted as feminine, while modern man and the science, technology, and military power he represents are portrayed as masculine. Although it critiques the colonialist structure of modernity, the film's narrative structure and character portrayals indicate that it reproduces the superiority of Western-centered ideology and the masculine mind. The study analyzes how the film's narrative and character representations implicitly support masculine centrism. The analysis reveals how nature and marginalized cultures are romanticized and presented in the film and how the notion that the feminine can only survive by adopting masculine traits is processed in the subtext. Grounded in a conceptual and theoretical framework, this research focuses on the sustainability of the patriarchal capitalist system and gender politics while critically examining how cinema reconstructs ideological structures through the narratives in the film.
