The Relevance Patterns of Public and Privacy for Digital Natives in Turkey

Abstract

The wide-spread and increasing communication via social media causes an entanglement between publicity and privacy. According to the meta-process of today’s mediatized communication as described by Krotz, the user-generated content is established as an important channel of social communication today. In this way, a change is currently taking place regarding the question, which personal information should be made publicly available. The outcome of this is a necessity to understand, whether the mediatized communication has an effect on the boundaries between privacy and public.

With help of a scientific study with academic participants in Turkey based on George Kelly’s personal construct psychology, two groups with different understandings of privacy could be identified. In the constructed world of one group, the digital whoness, as derived from Kant’s question of whoness by Capurro et al., is located in the public space. This is an indication that the boundaries between privacy and public are blurred and the relevance patterns of privacy and public are to be thought in new categories, since privacy becomes more and more a mediatized privacy.
