Türkiye’de Instagram'ın kısa süreliğine kapanması (2-10 Ağustos 2024), toplumsal değerlerin dönüşümünü ve toplumda meydana gelen kutuplaşmaları anlamak için örnek teşkil etmektedir. Victor Turner’ın sosyal drama modeli kullanarak tasarlanan bu çalışma, bu sosyal tarz olayların toplumda nasıl kutuplaşma halleri yaratıp bireyleri iki kutup etrafında topladığını ve popülist söylemin nasıl meşruiyet kazandığını ele almaktadır. Çalışma, Instagram’ın hem bir statü göstergesi hem de “ötekiyi” dışlama aracı olarak nasıl kullanıldığını, aynı zamanda platformun işlevselliğinin sorgulanarak toplumsal normların yeniden şekillendiğini tartışır. Bu bağlamda, popülizmin toplumsal yapıya olan etkileri sosyal drama perspektifiyle analiz edilmiştir.

The brief shutdown of Instagram in Turkey (August 2-10, 2024) serves as a case to understand transformations in social values and emerging societal polarizations. Utilizing Victor Turner’s social drama model, this study addresses how these social cases create states of polarization within society, gathering individuals around two opposing poles and legitimizing populist discourse. The study discusses how Instagram functions both as a status symbol and a tool for excluding the “other,” while also considering how questioning the platform’s functionality reshapes social norms. In this context, the effects of populism on social structure are analyzed through the lens of social drama. CR - Ahmad, I. (2019). Populism: A political anthropology approach.
