Abstract

Considering the home as a social space full of emotions allows us to uncover previously hidden facts about social life. This is accomplished by collaborating across disciplines within the context of emotional geography. Given the importance of feelings in mediating the interaction between the individual and the collective, we can gain vital insights into the relationship between home and the domestic material world, as well as feeling and the self. This study will inquire into the feelings that audiences of the house program Daire, which is broadcast on YouTube, experience and how they feel about the houses they watch. What home beautification practices mean to people, what feelings are evoked in audiences by watching other people's houses and lives, and how feelings such as "envy, comparison, desire, anger" about the program emerge will be evaluated and discussed together with interviewee narratives.

Duygularla Yüklü Bir Mekân Olarak Ev: Yaşayan Evlerin Programı “Daire”

Abstract

Evin duygularla yüklü sosyal bir mekân olarak ele alınması bize sosyal yaşamın görünür olmayan farklı bilgilerini keşfetme imkânı sağlar. Bu da duygular coğrafyası çerçevesinde farklı disiplinlerin kesişiminde çalışabilmekle mümkün olur. Duyguların birey ve kolektif arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık etmede önemli bir rol oynadıklarından hareketle, ev ve ev içi materyal dünya, duygu ve benlik ilişkisine dair önemli ipuçları bulabiliriz. Bu çalışma ile “Daire” adlı Youtube’da yayınlanan ev programının izleyenlerde ne tür duygular uyandırdığı, izleyenlerin evler hakkında ne hissettikleri sorgulanacaktır. Ev güzelleştirme pratiklerinin kişiler için ne ifade ettiği, başkalarının evlerini, beraberinde de yaşamlarını izlemenin izleyenlerde ne tür duygular uyandırdığı, son olarak da programa dair “imrenme, kıyaslama, arzu, öfke” gibi duyguların nasıl ortaya çıktığı, görüşmecilerin anlatımlarıyla değerlendirilip, tartışılacaktır.
