The history of discourse studies in the social sciences can be traced back to the 1970s. Post-structuralist thinkers, by giving central importance to the concept of discourse rather than ideology in explaining social variables, made the concept popular in social science research. During this period, social scientists began to emphasize the use of discourse in socio-cultural contexts through language and symbols, attempting to determine the characteristic features of political behaviors and systems. At this point, culture show itself in the political arena via language and signs has led to the establishment of a close link between political discourse and culture in the studies to be conducted. Cultural elements, on the one hand, form the toolset that shapes people's political attitudes, while on the other hand, politicians incorporate this toolset into their policies through their discourse. As a matter of fact, this study will focus on the connection between discourse, culture and society and the theoretical background that creates this connection will be emphasized. The aim of the study is to reveal how the relationship between discourse and culture affects political and social life in societies exhibiting collectivist characteristics and which materials can be used to examine this effect in political discourse studies. The aim of the study is to provide an alternative perspective to the theoretical background of political discourse studies of cultural characteristics such as "high power distance" and "high uncertainty avoidance" seen in collectivist societies, and the examination of materials that are the source of discourse analysis.

Historical memory, which is shaped within the scope of the value judgments of the society in which an individual lives in the historical process, is an active past that forms the personality of the individual. This historical past has many dynamics, variables, and essential formations shaped by it. National/national identity, one of them, reflects a type of identity that emerges and develops according to the historical memory of the individual. The study focused on the functions of historical memory in forming and developing national identity. In this direction, the main questions addressed by the article are what are the effects of historical memory on the formation of national identity based on the concepts of identity, national identity, nationalism, memory, collective memory, and historical memory?

Mythology and cinema are two significant art forms that leave deep marks on the collective memory of humanity. Mythology is a collection of stories, gods, and symbols that reflect the beliefs, values, and worldviews of societies. Cinema, as one of the powerful art forms of the modern era, conveys mythological elements through a visual language to reach wide audiences. Thus, cinema not only uses mythology as a source of stories but also adds deep meanings by relating mythological figures and themes to the problems of modern society, helping viewers reinterpret and understand mythological stories and symbols in the modern world. This article aims to examine the relationship between cinema and mythology through Guillermo del Toro's film Pan's Labyrinth (2006). The film presents a fantastical story set after the Spanish Civil War, enriched with mythological elements and symbols. This study analyzes the mythological themes of the film and how these themes merge with cinematic narration. The research method used is qualitative, with an intertextual analysis technique applied to the film. Firstly, the mythological elements and symbols in the film are identified, and then their meanings and functions in the film are detailed. By utilizing mythology literature, the mythological references and symbolic meanings of the characters, events, and settings in the film are explained. In this context, Ofelia's journey parallels the hero's journey archetype, and the film deepens themes such as growth, sacrifice, and resistance by using mythological elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Yugonostalgia, defined briefly as nostalgia for the era of socialist Yugoslavia, manifests itself in various forms as a socio-cultural movement adopted in the former Yugoslav countries. The political aspect of Yugonostalgia is an expression of a critical attitude towards the wars and ethnic nationalism during the break-up of Yugoslavia, which disregarded the practice of multicultural coexistence. Furthermore, considering that the former Yugoslavia countries are currently entangled in a cycle of political and economic problems such as poverty, corruption, and unemployment, the possibility arises that Yugonostalgia could lead to a new political movement that could be embraced by the masses who are fed up with those troubles. The study discusses the potential of Yugonostalgia to transform into an effective alternative political movement in post-Yugoslav countries and to forge a new political identity beyond being a socio-cultural movement expressing nostalgia for Yugoslavia and a critical attitude towards contemporary problems. Its main assumption is that Yugonostalgia does not yet have the potency to go beyond being a cultural movement based on collective memory and to unite the masses with political motivation.

Culture is one of the most important foundations for the existence of a separate society and people. Every society in the world has its own cultural characteristics. If you look at the cultural map of the world, you can see the similarities between nearby peoples, but at the same time, each people has its own distinctive nuances that make each of them special. Every nation has been influenced by the culture of the nations with which it has political and economic relations, but has created a new cultural synthesis by melting this influence in its own cultural pot. Turkish communities have also exchanged cultures among themselves and have also been influenced by external cultures, thus the socio-psychological situation of the society has been in constant change and development. This study examines the concept of "betrayal", which we encounter everywhere where human beings exist, his reflections in national culture and literature. And this studt focuses on the struggles, renunciations, and sacrifices that people who survived seventy years of political oppression had to make to achieve free consciousness. While every corner of the betrayal impasse was discussed from different angles, the focus was on how such a heavy concept could be reflected in literature in a patriarchal society, and the effect-reaction situation of this reflection in society. A comparative discussion was made of how complex concepts such as betrayal are perceived in developed societies and how they are perceived in patriarchal societies, thereby exploring the degree of openness to changes in the codes existing in the cultural memory of each people.

As a result of Turkey's agricultural policy that has developed since the 1950s, lakes in different provinces have been dried within the scope of expanding agricultural areas. Amik is one of the lakes that were dried in this context. Amik Lake, which was once an important water source for Antakya, has an important place in the history of the city. Since the lake used to cause floods since the past, the idea of drying was on the agenda during the Ottoman period, the French mandate administration and the administration of the Hatay state. These attempts continued after the annexation of Hatay to Turkey. The gradual drying of the lake in the 1970s in the Republican period has brought many discussions on the city agenda from the past to the present. This study is part of a scientific research project focusing on the economic aspects of drying Amik Lake. A detailed literature study was carried out within the scope of the project, and the works of wanderers travelled around Antakya in the past were also examined. Within the scope of field research, 19 people from Arpahan, Küçükdalyan, Paşaköy, Bakras, Muratpaşa, Torun, Büyükdalyan, Serinyol and Topboğazı villages around the old lake mirror, two people ran the lake commercially and two people from the institutions and key actors in the city were interviewed. In line with the written and oral information obtained, it is understood that the lake was dried with motives such as drying the swamp areas in accordance with the spirit of the period, preventing malaria, expanding the agricultural areas and providing land to the farmers. In the scope of the study, it is aimed to reveal the opinions of the city residents about the drying process of the lake and the traces it leaves in the public memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Oral culture, the accumulation of a deep-rooted past as old as humanity, contains many folklore values. One of these values is the stereotyped expressions used in social life based on conversation without a written text. These vocabulary items, which also have poetic qualities due to their features such as rhythm, harmony and rhyme repetition, are also important as a reflection of social memory. Formulated expressions, one of the most used anonymous products focusing on requirements and functionality, are linguistic products that, as the name suggests, fall into a certain pattern and are easy to store in memory. In them, the beliefs, taboos and value judgments of the society come into existence in relation to the mother tongue. With this reality, in our study, focusing on the Bingöl field, the uses, functions and semantic features of formulaic expressions such as proverbs, idioms, prayers, curses, oaths, tongue twisters and riddles are evaluated with concrete examples in the context of Zaza and Kurman, two dialects of Kurdish. It is seen that these products bear the traces of an ancient past and still continue to exist in daily life and in different contexts, despite changing conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Geçmiş ile gelecek arasında bağ kurma noktasında, toplumun kolektif bilincini yansıtan kamusal mekânlar, kent kimliğini oluşturan unsurlar arasındadır. Kent kimliğinin bir parçası olarak sonik çevrenin tanımlanmasında ses peyzajı yaklaşımından yararlanılabilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ses peyzajını tanımlayan “arka-plan sesler”, “ön-plan sesler”, “sembol sesler” ve kolektif bellek ile ilişkili olması yönüyle “kaybolan/yitikleşen sesler” ile geçmişten günümüze kadar “devamlılığı/sürekliliği olan seslerin” tespiti yoluyla Trabzon kent merkezinin sonik kimliğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmanın metodolojisini, ses yürüyüşleri ve anket uygulamaları oluşturmaktadır. Atatürk Alanı, Kunduracılar Caddesi, Kemeraltı Sokağı ve Mumhaneönü Meydanı’na ait sonik bölgeler; ses yürüyüşleri ve belirlenen güzergâhlar doğrultusunda sonik çevre değerlendirmeleri yoluyla belirlenmiştir. Ses yürüyüşlerinden elde edilen bulgular, bölgelere ait sonik kimliklerin farklılaştığını göstermektedir. Bu sonuç, bölgelerin sonik imgelerini tanımlayan ve kendilerine özgü olan ses çevrelerinin varlığını ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırmanın sınırlılığını, Trabzon kent merkezini temsil ettiği düşünülen bölgelerde gerçekleştirilen ses yürüyüşleri ve kullanıcıların sonik çevre değerlendirmeleri oluşturmaktadır.

The ancient city of Prusias Ad Hypium (Konuralp), located in the Bithynia region in ancient times, is located 8 km north of the city centre of Düzce today. Konuralp is a settlement where we observe the historical process with its ancient theatre, atlı kapı, aqueducts, Roman bridge, city walls and the ruins of the Ottoman period. In this study, with the data obtained from the project titled "Cultural Heritage of Düzce from Prusias Ad Hypium to Konuralp" carried out between 2017-2018, the reflections of the ancient city's past to the present, the role of the places belonging to the ancient history in the formation of social memory and collective memory, and their contribution to the formation of the cultural identity of the city in the construction process were examined. The method used in this article is oral history, which is frequently used in the field of History today, but not in the field of Antiquity. In the interviews with mostly local people over the age of 50, their memories, memories experienced in spatial areas, rituals, rumours, in short, what remains in their memories were recorded between the lines. With this study, it is aimed to record the narratives before they are lost and to take steps towards the protection of cultural heritage by creating historical awareness in the people of the region. At the same time, common memory places were also identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Collective memory is a way of remembering that makes it possible for society or groups to have a common identity by bridging the past and the future. Pierre Bourdieu's practical theory also allows discussion of the continuity of collective memory in the context of the structure-action relationship. In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal that social agents are effective in the reproduction of memory. This is done by associating the construction of collective memory with Pierre Bourdieu's conceptualization of space, habitus and capital in the sample of the city of Ankara, which represents the founding ideology of the Republic of Turkey. In line with the purpose of the study, the documentary film named 'Ankara Ambiance', which was broadcast on Blu TV, a digital platform, was chosen as a sample. The 'What Matters to Heart and Love' episode, which was broadcast as the first episode of the documentary, was analyzed using the content analysis method. As a result of the study, it has been evaluated that collective memory is reproduced in the form of space with administrative, political and ideological perspectives. The idea is that the founding leader is a common value which is effective in the reproduction of space in the form of collective memory and is closely related to the social space of individuals and the types of capital they have.

Purpose: In today's digital humanities research, the main data/information sources used by researchers are collections consisting of digitized documents and data with high resolution, along with machine-readable and actionable metadata associated with these collections. The purpose of this research is to determine the needs and expectations of digital humanities researchers for "collections as data" and to find out to what extent cultural memory institutions meet these needs and expectations. Method: Qualitative methods were used within the scope of the research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 digital humanities researchers and 16 representatives of cultural memory institutions. The researchers and the representatives of the institutions were asked 20 and 23 questions, respectively, and all interview records were transcribed and their contents were analyzed using MaxQDA, a qualitative data analysis software. Findings: Researchers need access to collections as datasets in machine-readable and machine-actionable formats. While there are a few institutions that can share their collections through protocols or upon request, no institution has yet made their collections available in machine-readable and actionable formats suitable for computational access. To convert their collections, institutions need qualified staff, budget, technical infrastructure, administrative support, cooperation, time, and guidelines. Implications: In order for institutions to organize metadata, digitize collections, and make them accessible to researchers as collections as data, they should create awareness in this regard, receive technical, administrative and financial support, and train qualified personnel. Originality: This study is the first of its kind that identifies the needs, expectations, and barriers regarding the "collections as data" service in Turkey from the perspectives of researchers and cultural memory institutions.

Sinema toplumların geçmişle ilişkilerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Kolektif belleğe ait hatırlatılmak istenilen anılar için kullanılan araçlardan biri de sinemadır. Geçmişin, şimdinin ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda seçilen anlatısı, sinema ile bugünün izleyicine aktarılır. Geçmiş, şimdi ve gelecek arasında belirli bir amaç doğrultusunda çerçevelenmiş devamlılık ilişkisi bugüne getirilen anılarla kurulur. Toplumlar, bu devamlılık ilişkisi üzerinden kimliklerini inşa ederler. Unutulmuş ya da unutulmaya yüz tutmuş olaylar ve öyküler sinemanın görselliğe dayalı, canlandırma teknikleri ile kolektif bir hatırlatmayı tesis eder. Bu bağlamda sinema görsel, işitsel imkânlarla hatırlamayı ve belleğin ihtiyaçlar çerçevesinde yeniden kurulmasını sağlar. Sinema, geçmişin yeniden bir yorumu olarak unutmaya karşı mücadele aracı haline gelir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı; kitle iletişiminin en temel araçlarından sinemanın hatırlatıcı misyonunu açıklamaktır. Çalışmanın kapsamını Çağan Irmak’ın yönettiği ve 2008 yılında sinema izleyicisi ile buluşan Ulak filmi oluşturmaktadır. Film, kolektif hatırlama ve kolektif unutma kavramları kapsamında incelenecektir. Filmin temel anlatısının masal üzerine kurulması nedeniyle çalışma, sözlü ve yazılı kültürün hatırlama ve unutma özellikleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Çalışmada hatırlama ve unutma diyalektiği çerçevesinde; filmin mekânı, zamanı, karakterleri ve kolektif hatırlama unsurları betimleyici analiz ile çözümlenip değerlendirilmiştir.

The phenomenon of place attachment refers to the emotional bonds people have with the places they live. This concept is a multidimensional and complex one as it includes variables such as feelings, understanding, perception and behavior patterns Lewicka (2011, p.223) states that although the studies on the place attachment should include "people, processes and places", the majority of the research focuses only on the psychological and sociological dimensions of the subject. In this framework, she underlines that a 'Place Theory' examining 'Place' has not yet been formed and there are few studies examining the relationships between place attachment and 'place' properties. This article aims to reveal the relationships between the existence of green areas and the phenomenon of place attachment, as part of a comprehensive research that investigates the place attachment theory and the characteristics of places. The study area is Kuzguncuk neighborhood, one of the old Bosphorus villages on the Asian side of Istanbul. The neighborhood is located between Beylerbeyi, another old Bosphorus village, in the north, and the historical city center of Üsküdar in the south. One of the most important urban image elements of the Kuzguncuk neighborhood is the vegetable garden (Bostan), formerly known as "Ilya's Garden". For Kuzguncuk residents, Bostan is both a frequently used green area and a place of collective memory of the neighborhood. For this reason, the Bostan area in the neighborhood, which started to become in attractive since the-mid 1980s, has been tried to be opened to development many times. However, this threat was eliminated each time with the efforts of the residents of the neighborhood. In the research, the results of the survey conducted in Kuzguncuk in June 2016 with the participation of 400 people will be shared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is known that the legend, which is one of the oral narrative types, has been frequently told among people from past to present. It is extremely important that the legends are told frequently and that they exist in every age by changing and transforming. Because the legend clearly shows the continuity of folkloric products as well as contributing to the collective memory. However, another reason why legends are frequently told is that the element of belief is prominent in the narratives. With the belief element coming to the fore, the legends focus on the relationship between humans and the extraordinary. The narrator and the listener of the legend come together through this element of belief and the human-extraordinary relationship. This situation helps the legend to become one of the frequently told oral narrative types. It is known that the Giresun legends, which have become the object of study, are classified as follows in the light of the element of belief and the human-extraordinary relationship: Religious legends, legends about rocks, legends about place names, legends about animals, legends about extraordinary creatures, legends about natural events, legends about trees, historical legends, legends about treasures, and love legends. As can be seen from the classification, the objects themselves are highlighted in the context of the belief element and the human-extraordinary relationship in the legends. However, among the compiled legends, religious legends draw attention both in terms of quality and quantity. It is possible to classify the legends in question in the context of themes as follows: Travel, war and freedom, treasure hunting, health, need for food, fulfillment of religious duties, owning land, and fulfilling the wishes of the saints. However, it is necessary to analyze and make sense of the belief element and the human-extraordinary relationship, which is at the base of the legend, from a metalinguistic point of view. Because the state of being universal, which is one of the features of folkloric products, expresses the structural repetition of the narrative. In that case, narrative analysis to be carried out from a structuralist perspective can also explain the structure of folkloric products in detail. In this context, the religious legends of Giresun were analyzed in the light of two concepts: Actants model and narrative program. These two concepts allow the analysis of the syntax of a narrative. Through the actants model, the relationship between the actants and the actants in a narrative is determined. The narrative program, on the other hand, basically provides the expression of what stages the subject has passed through within the narrative. The concepts of sender, object, receiver, helper, subject, and opponent in the actants model were determined by Greimas as the agents in the syntax of the narrative. These actants are decisive in the adventure of the subject with the roles they play in the functioning of the narrative. The narrative program, on the other hand, shows the stages that the subject goes through in the light of the following concepts: Manipulation, competence, performance, and sanction. The concepts in question allow the explanation of the stages that the subject goes through in the narrative. In this study, the syntax of Giresun legends is analyzed through these concepts. First, religious legends were classified in the context of themes, and it was expressed how the themes were operated according to the actants model. Then, the stages that the subject goes through are expressed in terms of the concepts of the narrative program, and the religious Giresun legends are analyzed from a structuralist point of view.

Homesickness is a common theme in Turkish folk poetry. Actually, the source of this, is the place of homesickness in the lives of the people. Poets touch upon Homesickness both individually and socially in their poems because they are the interpreters of the emotions and thoughts of the people. Homesickness essentially means "being separated or distant from home" Sometimes it expresses separation either physically or emotionally. Homesickness, which appears in both senses in the minsterlsy tradition, can be directed towards human or divine elements. To understand the concept of Homesickness in the cultural memory of society, it is necessary to read about this theme in their poems. Travel is often mentioned together with homesickness, although one refers to negative feelings while the other implies positive ones. Homesickness can be the result of necessity while travel connotes a more positive voyage. Travel also has an important place in the lives of poets, including Âşık Sümmânî, who is an important representative of the tradition of âşık. Sümmânî included homesickness in his poems and travel also had an important place in his life. In this study, the themes of homesickness and travel in Sümmânî's poetry are examined to understand both the poet and the people's emotions and thought worlds. The imagery and functions of homesickness and travel in Âşık Sümmânî's poetry are being identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Folk narratives are an important component of cultural memory. Narrative, which reflects information, experiences and teachings from the past, serves the function of ensuring the continuity of cultural memory, protecting the identity of the society and transferring it to future generations. Turkish folk narratives are mostly the product of the transition to settled life and are a genre that contains many codes about this period of the Turks. The theme of love come to the fore in folk narratives especially with the influence of the settled life. The Uyghurs are a deep-rooted Turkish tribe that has survived on the stage of history since the early periods and had an early settled life. It is possible to see their deep-rooted past in the oral and written tales they have created. The narrative of "Şehzade Behram and Melike Dilriz", which is the subject of the current study, is an example of this. In the narrative, the features that the heroine looks for in a spouse and the competitions the she forces male heroes to take part in are among the motifs that carry the cultural codes of the settled life. The type of Khidr that takes shape in this context and occupies a central position in this study is a product of the collective memory of the Uyghur Turks, and it has both similar and different characteristics with the traditional Turkish belief in Khidr. In this article, the structure and characteristics of the type of Khidr in the belief system and culture of the Uyghur Turks were identified and examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Collective memory is a way of remembering that makes it possible for society or groups to have a common identity by bridging the past and the future. Pierre Bourdieu's practical theory also allows discussion of the continuity of collective memory in the context of the structure-action relationship. In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal that social agents are effective in the reproduction of memory. This is done by associating the construction of collective memory with Pierre Bourdieu's conceptualization of space, habitus and capital in the sample of the city of Ankara, which represents the founding ideology of the Republic of Turkey. In line with the purpose of the study, the documentary film named "Ankara Ambiance", which was broadcast on Blu TV, a digital platform, was chosen as a sample. The "What Matters to Heart and Love" episode, which was broadcast as the first episode of the documentary, was analyzed using the content analysis method. As a result of the study, it has been evaluated that collective memory is reproduced in the form of space with administrative, political and ideological perspectives. The idea is that the founding leader is a common value which is effective in the reproduction of space in the form of collective memory and is closely related to the social space of individuals and the types of capital they have.

In travel writings writers introduce a region they visit from various aspects such as geography, history, architecture, traditions and transportation possibilities. Bursa draws attention in travel writings in Turkish literature. Official duty, exile, the necessity of immigration because of war conditions etc. brought people to Bursa. The proximity of the city to Istanbul has also increased the interest in Bursa. Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, fascinates its visitors with its geographical beauties and architecture as well as its historical value. Regardless of the chronology, some commonalities stand out in the eighteen texts examined in the study. Tombs - especially Yeşil Türbe-, mosques, baths, thermal springs, plain and Uludağ come to the fore. Analyzing texts chronologically, the changes taken place in the city over time are noticed. The outlook of writers on the city is determined by their life experiences, the reasons for their visit, and the conditions of their time. Keeping the social memory alive, travel writings combining personal and social history are valuable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mudanya Mütarekesi’nin imzalandığı gün olan 11 Ekim her yıl görkemli törenlerle anılmaktadır. Genellikle bu törenler yerel merciler tarafından düzenlenerek tüm ulusun da dahil olduğu ulusal anma törenlerine dönüşmektedir. Bu amaç ve içerikle oluşturulan bir tören olarak Mudanya Mütarekesi’nin 25. yıl dönümünde Mudanya Halkevi tarafından planlanan Afyon ve Kütahya Halkevleriyle birlikte yürütülen Dumlupınar’dan Mudanya’ya şehit toprağı getirilmesi projesi 1946 yılı içerinde tasarlanmıştı. Mudanya Halkevi Başkanı Hilmi Aktan’ın 1946 yılı içerisinde teklif ettiği bu proje zamanın yetersizliği nedeniyle 1947 yılına bırakılmıştı. Milli Mücadele’nin şiddetli çarpışmalarının yaşandığı üç tepeden alınacak şehit toprağı genç atletler vasıtasıyla Dumlupınar’dan yola çıkarılacak, Afyon, Kütahya yolu ile Mudanya’ya Mudanya Mütarekesi’nin imzalandığı tarih olan 11 Ekim günü Mütareke evine ulaştırılacaktı. Şehitliği sembolize eden topraklar burada ziyaretçilere açık olarak sergilenecekti. Çalışmada kolektif hafızayı canlı tutmak üzere 11 Ekim 1947 tarihinde Mudanya’da Mütareke evinde gerçekleştirilen yıl dönümü etkinliğinin planlanması, programı ve gerçekleşmesi detaylı olarak ele alınmıştır. Mudanya Halkevi başta olmak üzere Afyon ve Kütahya Halkevleri ile yazışmalar, arşiv belgeleri, dönemin gazete ve dergilerinden yararlanılarak temel kaynaklar üzerinden anma yıl dönümü değerlendirilmiştir.

The matter of ownership is among the most controversial subjects of critical economy-politics, and it basically notes the materialized insecurity of the acquisition of wealth through inefficient processes. The concept has been a subject of many critical studies, not only in terms of the political economy, but also in sociological, artistic, and literary fields. Essentially, the methods of addressing and framing the levels of ownership ideology, which names the imperious power of capital against productive labor in literary-sociological discourse, can give important clues about the dominant relations in a particular historical period, the conception of ownership, and the place that this conception has in the collective memory. In this study, the issue of the types of cultural value debates the passion for ownership and ownership ideology, as reflected in Orhan Kemal’s novels and novel characters, and therefore, their effects on the collective memory of Turkey, as well as the various perspectives, relationship styles, and behavioral patterns this influence creates. For this purpose, six of Orhan Kemal’s novels dated between the beginnings of the 1950s to the end of the 1970s, were examined using content analysis and focusing on the passion for ownership if any and the criticism of ownership ideology. It is assumed that this study will be an important contribution to the research field of Turkish literature sociology, in the sense that it showcases the relationship between passion for ownership and collective memory to the discussion in Turkey. It was concluded that the ownership forms that change over time also change the perception and thought of ownership in individuals, and this situation draws attention to different personality types and related behavioral patterns in the collective memory of Turkey.

Toplumsal hafıza, törenler, ritüeller, bayramlar aracılığıyla inşa edilmektedir. Hatırlama aracılığıyla tekrarlanan bu uygulamalar toplumların geçmişine ve bugününe dair birtakım göstergelerle yüklüdür. Giyim, mekân, yeme-içme, bedensel pratikler vb. her biri toplumsal hafızaya dair anlamlar taşımaktadır. Hatırlama, geçmişi bugüne taşıyan ve yaşatan pratiklerden biridir. Geçmiş, hatırlama aracılığıyla var olmaya devam etmektedir. Geçmiş, edebi ürünler, haberler, filmler, diziler ve oyunlar aracılığıyla hatırlanmakta ve medya ürünleri aracılığıyla da hatırlatılmaktadır. Ayrıca geçmişe dair hatırlama ritüelleri belli bir mekânda fiziksel olarak bulunmakla yapılabileceği gibi günümüzde dijital mekanlarda da sanal olarak gerçekleştirilebilmektedir. Dijital oyunlar bu sanal mekanlardan biri olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bir medya ürünü olarak dijital oyunların toplumsal hafızanın inşa edilmesine katkıda bulunduğu varsayılmıştır. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada İran ve İran Devrimi’ne dair toplumsal hafızanın nasıl inşa edildiğini ortaya koymak amacıyla İran İslam Devrimi’nin canlandırıldığı 1979 Revolution Black Friday dijital oyunu, Roland Barthes’ın düz anlam ve yan anlam kavramsallaştırmalarından yola çıkılarak gündelik yaşam, din, politika ve medya olmak üzere 4 kategoride göstergebilimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. 1979 Revolution Black Friday dijital oyununda, Devrim sürecinin, İran’ın gündelik yaşam pratikleri, inanç temelleri ve politik yapısına dair öne çıkan göstergelerle toplumsal hafızada yeniden canlandırıldığı görülmüştür.
