Yeni Bir Örgütlenme Biçimi Olarak Sanal Cemaatler

Abstract

Son yıllarda yeni bir sosyal alan haline gelen internet, birey ve sosyal organizasyonlara zaman ve mekândan bağımsız bir iletişim ortamı sunmaya başlamıştır. Bu durum birey ve sosyal organizasyonların internet ortamında örgütlenmesine yol açmış ve sanal cemaat yapısını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu bağlamda makalede, sanal cemaatlerin anlaşılması amacıyla öncelikle geleneksel cemaat kavramı üzerinde durulacaktır. Buna bağlı olarak da insanların ortak değer ve düşüncelerini paylaşmalarına imkân sağlamaları noktasında sanal cemaatler ele alınacaktır. Bu yeni toplulukların ortaya çıkışıyla birlikte geleneksel cemaat yapılarının nasıl ve hangi koşullarda sanal ortama transfer oldukları da ele alınacaktır. Buradan hareketle sanal cemaatlerin geleneksel cemaatlerden farklılıkları ve benzerlikleri ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır
