Yeni Medya’da Yeni Bir Olgu: Elektronik Dilencilik

Year 2026, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 60 - 74, 27.03.2026

Abstract

Bu araştırma, dijitalleşmeyle ortaya çıkan ve giderek yoğunlaşan elektronik dilencilik kavramını incelemektedir. Elektronik dilencilik, sosyal medyadan para vb. taleplerde bulunulmasını ve geleneksel dilenciliğin aksine sanal etkileşimi kapsamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, yardım isteklerinde görsel, duygusal ve söylemsel stratejilerin ne olduğunu, ikna etme ve muhtaçlığı aktarma süreçlerinin nasıl oluşturulduğunu açıklamaktır. Araştırma, Fairclough’un eleştirel söylem analizi modeline dayanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, elektronik dilencilikle alakalı paylaşımlar metinsel yapı, söylemsel üretim ve toplumsal bağlam düzeylerinde çözümlenmiştir. Bulgular, yardım çağrılarının, yazı, fotoğraf ve videodan oluşan, paylaşım alanlarına göre kurgulanan içerik stratejilerine göre oluşturulduğunu göstermektedir. Sanal ortamların algoritmik yapısı, bu talepleri etkili iletişim uygulamasına dönüştürmekte, itimat ve kabul edilme görünürlük, duygusal ikna ve etkileşim aracılığıyla oluşturulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak araştırma, iletişim, iş birliği ve toplumsal yapıdaki görünürlük anlayışında yaşanan dönüşümü değişen medya olgusu üzerinden göstermektedir.

A New Phenomenon in New Media: Electronic Begging

Abstract

This research examines the concept of electronic begging, which has emerged with digitalization and is becoming increasingly prevalent. Electronic begging involves soliciting money or other items via social media and, unlike traditional begging, encompasses virtual interaction. The aim of this study is to explain what visual, emotional, and discursive strategies are in requests for help, and how the processes of persuasion and conveying need are constructed. The research is based on Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model. Within this framework, posts related to electronic begging have been analyzed at the levels of textual structure, discursive production, and social context. The findings show that calls for help are created according to content strategies designed for sharing platforms, consisting of text, photos, and videos. The algorithmic structure of virtual environments transforms these demands into effective communication applications, creating trust and acceptance through visibility, emotional persuasion, and interaction. In conclusion, the research demonstrates the transformation in the understanding of visibility in communication, collaboration, and social structure through the changing phenomenon of media.
