Personality Disorder and Gothic Character Construction in Spin-Off Adaptation Series: The Case of Wednesday

Öz

ABSTRACT Digital platforms, which are the application area of new media, are accepted as an important content medium for TV series film productions. In recent years, it is seen that content for virtual users has been emphasized in terms of the wide acceptance of TV series films. In this regard, it is understood that network platforms created according to the membership system with paid access services are trying to create a culture of appreciation especially for the young segment. In these platforms, where Generation Z constitutes the audience, the network society is shaped through main and supporting characters with qualitatively marginal characteristics and personality conflicts. In this study, the Netflix series Wednesday is among the top 10 most watched shows in the world. Wednesday has a postmodern pastiche depiction and a pathologically ironic relationship with the character comes to the fore. The identity relationship and psychological variability structures in social psychology definitions are examined in terms of various representations, heroic structures and sexist roles and communication styles in the eight episodes of the first season of the series by examining them at the level of expressions and analyzed by content analysis method in terms of numbers and percentages. In the eight episodes of Wednesday representing the first season of the series, in the first stage, a triadic qualification group was formed to classify the verbal expressions typologically through the main character Wednesday Addams. In the first season of Wednesday, 250 characterizations and imagery were identified as discourse, 79 characterizations of family and environment with a rate of 31.60%, 53 self-critical characterizations with a rate of 21.20%, 107 characterizations of other people with a rate of 42.80%, and the number of imagery that is a reflection of the ability to see imagery is 11, which is 4.40% of the general rate.

ÖZ Yeni medyanın uygulama sahası olan dijital platformlar, dizi film yapımları için önemli bir içerik mecrası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Dizi filmlerinin geniş ölçekte kabul edilmesi konusunda son yıllarda sanal kullanıcılara yönelik içeriklere ağırlık verildiği görülmektedir. Bu konuda ücretli erişim hizmetleriyle üyelik sistemine göre oluşturulan ağ platformlarının özellikle genç kesime yönelik bir beğeni kültürü oluşturmaya çalıştığı anlaşılmaktadır. Z kuşağının izleyici kitlesini oluşturduğu bu platformlarda ağ toplumu, niteliksel olarak marjinal özelliklere sahip kişilik çatışması yaşayan ana ve yardımcı karakterler üzerinden şekillendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Netflix yapımı Wednesday adlı dizi, dünyada en fazla izlenen 10 yapım içerisinde yer almaktadır. Wednesday dizisinde, postmodern pastiş betimlemeye sahip olup karakterle patolojik açıdan ironik bir ilişki kurulması ön plana çıkmaktadır. Sosyal psikoloji tanımlamalarındaki kimlik ilişkisi ile ruhsal değişkenlik yapıları dizinin ilk sezonunda yer alan sekiz bölümü içerisinde çeşitli temsiller, kahramanlık yapıları ve cinsiyetçi rolleri ile iletişim biçimleri ifadeler düzeyinde incelenerek adet ve yüzdelikler cinsinden içerik analizi yöntemiyle ele alınmaktadır. Wednesday dizisinin ilk sezonunu temsil eden sekiz bölümünde ilk aşamada ana karakter Wednesday Addams üzerinden sözel ifadeleri tipolojik olarak sınıflandıran üçlü niteleme grubu oluşturulmuştur. Dizinin ilk sezonunda söylem olarak 250 adet niteleme ve imgelem saptanmış olup, aile ve çevre nitelemesi 79 adet ve %31,60 oran, özeleştiri özelliği taşıyan nitelemeler 53 adet ve %21,20 oran, diğer kişilere yapılan nitelemeler 107 adet ve %42,80 şeklinde belirlenmiş olup, görüntünün bir yansıması olan imgelem sayısı 11 olup genel oran içerisinde %4,40 düzeyindedir.
