Book Part Citation Count: 0Digital Society and Togetherness Against Discrimination: Analyzing Reactions in Turkish Tweets on George Floyd Protest(Peter Lang AG, 2021) Eyrek Keskin, Aysun; Yeni Medya ve İletişim BölümüThis study aims to examine how people react, interact, and come together against discrimination by using social media even if they are in a spatially different location. George Floyd protests spreading around the world are selected as case study for explaining reaction against discrimination on social media. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd died after being arrested by police officers in Minneapolis, United States. After the footage that displays the fatal arresting of George Floyd by police officers had been circulated on social media, street demonstrations were organized. The reaction of people spread through social media networks around the world. Using social movement theories as a theoretical framework and applying a content analysis, this study focuses on the tweets that are written in Turkish under the hashtags related to George Floyd’s death. The data set involves 12 thousand tweets, between May 28 and June 4 (during the first weeks of protests). The results reveal that social media is an essential part of interaction with people and combination of solidarity against discrimination. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021.Article Citation Count: 0Digital Travel Memories: a Comparison of Physical and Online Travel Experiences in the Terms of Recollection(Marmara Univ, Fac Communication, 2022) Kesen, Tolga Berkay; Eyrek Keskin, Aysun; Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümü; Yeni Medya ve İletişim BölümüThe study aims to undertake a comparison of physical and online travel experiences in terms of their recollection and the differences between each experience. Digitalization of travel is explained as visiting a place virtually by means of digital devices instead of visiting it physically. In the first part of the research, in which both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used, the viewer comments written under two most-viewed walking tour videos on YouTube were examined by using sentiment and text analysis which are among the social network analysis methods. In the second of the research, focus groups study are conducted with qualitative and experimental design. The focus groups consist of participants who visited the two cities (selected as sample) either physically (control groups) or online (experimental group). In the sentiment analysis, it was concluded that the positive and neutral sentiment expressions were higher than negative expressions, and in the text analysis individuals approached the online walking tours as a travel experience., In the focus groups research, it was observed that the use of natural sounds, the high visual quality in the videos are effective on individual's recollection of their travel in the online travel experiences. The content of the memories of physical travel experiences is usually about human interactivity and social life. In both travel experiences, it was determined that the information obtained by the individuals about the place through the media strengthens the recall of the images of their travel experiences.Article Citation Count: 2Digitalization of Memories - an Analysis Relationship Between Autobiographical Memory and Digital Photography(Univ Ss Cyril & Methodius Trnava, Fac Mass Media Communication, 2020) Eyrek Keskin, Aysun; Yeni Medya ve İletişim BölümüPhotography has been used as a mnemonic since its early years. It has the power to move the past to the present by breaking down the structure of time. Presenting a static image, it records an image of a past time. Looking through family and childhood photo albums, the person embarks on a journey through the past in his/her memory. Following digitalization, the function of photography has been changed in accordance with the transformation of it from analogue to digital. Photography is not only a mnemonic but also contains the function of the enjoyment of individuals, creating self, self-presenting to others. In terms of storage, screening and sharing, digital photography is more convenient and accessible than analogue photography. For these reasons, people's interest in digital photography has been rising and it encourages taking/recording images at the moments that will create their memories in the years ahead. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between autobiographical memory (contains information about individual experiences, memories) and forgetting/remembering between digital photography. The nature of the subject required the use of both qualitative and theoretical analysis of the participants' social media usage. The research data was collected conducting semi-structured interviews with participants who shared their images about individual lives and memories on social media. In addition, benefiting from the observation technique, the participants were requested to look at both printed and digital photo albums and asked if they remember the corresponding memories. The theoretical insights are based on critical theory. The studies reveal that memories become digital and affect memory due to rising motivation to take and share pictures on the social media.
