Postmodern Communication Processes and Virtual Fame
Abstract
Fame culture has been influenced by religion for some time, politics for some times, economy for some times, and entertainment for some times since ancient times. With the influence of fame cult, people constantly distinguish some characters from others and position reputations in a different order by putting them in the foreground with certain characteristics (Arık, 2013). That is to say, society is always creating celebrities that it will entertain, to direct, to create an agenda. Although fame is temporary, such a culture keeps people constantly on the agenda. The social structure changes the reputations, well-known individuals and phenomena that it releases from its own within a while, and this process continues for centuries. At one time, the category of celebrity included only natives, bourgeois, statesmen or national heroes. Nowadays, the famous butterflies, phenomena, fame, and a wealth of people produced by the media have turned into reality, broken from the society they live in. (Tunç, 2006). In this research, the fame culture that has been going on for centuries has been researched in the field of modern technology. It has been investigated why individuals create virtual identities through tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The relationship between created virtual identities and real identities is discussed.
