Synopsis

The digital age we find ourselves in necessitates a re-examination of the myths, spatial designs, and ultimately media reflexes that permeate the public sphere alongside social transformation. For myths correspond to an action that has been experienced or is destined to be experienced and shaped by social acceptance. Spaces designed on the principle of consent are undoubtedly part of the public sphere. In this context, the fundamental question is how and where new communication spaces are positioned in relation to these actions.

Questioning the conflicted, multi-layered and fluid nature of social meaning production in the digital age, the book approaches the public spaces created by new communication environments not merely as a technical communication ground, but as a field of struggle where myths are reproduced, space is symbolically transformed, and the subject is reconstructed between platform dynamics and audiovisual narratives. The work addresses the sociological, cultural, and political tensions of the digital age within the context of the digitalisation journey and contains important studies on the search for meaning and truth across a wide spectrum, ranging from fairy tales to anime aesthetics, architectural space to festival posters, demonstrating that these developments do not merely produce new tools and platforms. This book, which examines the role of communicative actions in shaping the public sphere from different perspectives, includes the objective approaches of various expert academics to these dynamics.
