Abstract

Fikir yayma ve
hegemonya kurma sürecinde çeşitli yöntemler ve araçlar kullanılır. Bunlar
arasında kitle iletişim araçları en önemli taşıyıcılar olarak görülmektedir.
Günümüzde, gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte, kitle iletişim araçları ideal
ideolojinin taşıyıcıları olarak daha fazla önem kazanmıştır. Sinema
üreticileri, özellikle de televizyon dizilerinin insanları etkileme gücünün
farkında olanlar, ideolojik anlamda sinemayı kullanabilirler. Özellikle, her
bölümde ideolojik mesajlara sahip TV dizileri, adalet, gözetleme ve kültürel
duyarsızlaştırma gibi kavramları konu etmeye başlamıştır.Bu nedenle, bu çalışma
"Black Mirror" dizisinin “Beyaz Ayı” bölümünde gözetim, yargı ve
kültürel duyarsızlaşma üçgenindeki olayları tartışmıştır. Çalışma, kültür
duyarsızlaştırma bağlamında yargı ve gözetim arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi
amaçlamıştır. Özellikle adalet ve gözetim ile ilgili konuların hakim olduğu
“Beyaz Ayı” bölümü ideolojik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu
çalışma, teknolojinin, kültürel duyarsızlaştırma sorununa karşı bir izleme
aracı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Judgment, Surveillance and Cultural Desensitization Triangle in TV Series: The Case of Black Mirror

Abstract

Various methods and tools are used in the process of
spreading ideas and establishing hegemony. The mass media among these are seen
as the most important courses. Today, also along with the developing
technology, mass media have gained more importance as carriers of ideal
ideology. The producers of cinema, and especially those who are aware of the
power of the television series to influence people, can use cinema in an
ideological sense. In particular, TV series with ideological messages in each
episode have begun to deal with concepts such as justice, surveillance and
cultural desensitization.

Therefore, this study has discussed the events in
surveillance, judgment and cultural desensitization triangle in the “White
Bear” episode of the Black Mirror. The study aimed to examine the relationship
between judgment and surveillance within the context of cultural
desensitization. Particularly, the White Bear episode, which is dominated by
the issues regarding justice and surveillance, is analyzed through an ideological
analysis method. As for the conclusion the study has revealed that technology
has been a tracking device against the problem of cultural desensitization.
