Paper long abstract:
The proposed study intends look into to the experience of young Turkish university students’ social media usage in relation to everyday life in the context of memory and identity during the pandemic by using a collaborative approach, that of which participants answer research questions by documenting their everyday life offline and online. Throughout the research my aim was not only to gain perspective on the behaviors of young university students on social media
the behaviors of young university students on social media but to explore the memory of discursive and non-discursive layers while exploring the interplay between visual culture and experimental film to question the notion of “otherness” and “distance” (Russell, 1999).Thus I used a broad methodological approach in the research and the accompanying collaborative film.
In this film and research, I analyze the daily practices of young Turkish students in its connection with values, feelings and dreams by using an audio visual methodology with an intention to deconstruct the symbolic and hidden power relations. Additionally, I will ask how may visual anthropological means of inquiry capture and enter into dialogue with people’s own ways of communicating, interpreting, keeping record of, and establishing their lives through audio-visual on social media.
