ABSTRACT
This study focuses on how many elements, the self and self-presentation phenomena of advertisements, which play a role in the production of value, work in the production processes and how these phenomena produce themselves.

In this context, the selected advertisement sample will first be analyzed with the semiotic analysis method of Roland Barthes. Afterwards, the data obtained, on the axis of the projection of the phenomenon of self and self-presentation in advertisements, in other words, the way it is coded in messages, the way it is expressed in discourses, the way it is shown in signifiers, performance, teams, regions and regional behaviors, which are components of Goffman's theory of self-presentation, out-of-character communication will be analyzed in the context of impression control themes.

Goffman’ın Benlik Sunumu Kuramı Bağlamında Reklamlarda Benlik Sunumunun İzdüşümü: Bir Reklam İncelemesi

ÖZ
Bu çalışma, birçok unsurun, değerin üretiminde rol oynayan reklamların benlik ve benlik sunumu olgularını, üretim süreçlerinde nasıl işlediğine ve bu olguların kendilerini nasıl ürettiğine odaklanmaktadır. Bu amaçtan hareketle, Türkiye pazarında hem iletişim çalışmaları hem de satışı yapılan küresel araba markalarından olan bir ürünün YouTube’da yayınlanan reklam filmi çalışmanın örneklemi olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, seçilen reklam örneklemi öncelikle Roland Barthes’in göstergebilimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilecektir. Ardından elde edilen veriler, benlik olgusunun ve benlik sunumunun reklamlardaki izdüşümü, diğer bir ifadeyle, mesajlarda kodlanma biçimi, söylemlerde ifade şekli, gösterenlerde gösterilme yöntemi ekseninde, Goffman’ın benlik sunumu kuramının bileşenlerinden olan performans, takımlar, bölgeler ve bölgesel davranışlar, karakter dışı iletişim ve izlenim denetimi temaları bağlamında analiz edilecektir.
