Although the Islamophobia concept evokes religious connotations, it also has historical and ideological dimensions. There's a polarization since the first Christianity-Islamic encounter. Orientalism is critically essential in the imagination of the Eastern/Islamic World. US Cinema, for years, symbolizes East/Islam in an Orientalist way. However, as a result of what happened in the 20th century, it's passed from Orientalism to Islamophobia. Especially since 9/11, Islam is new other. Herein, Hollywood acts as an ideological device. With this period, Islamophobic elements such as Islamic terrorism are added to Hollywood products; thus, Islamophobia is reproduced. In this context, the study will focus on Islamophobia in Hollywood Cinema after 9/11, and three selected films will be analyzed with structural analysis in the context of visual-auditory codes-/narrative codes. In the study, the film Black Hawk Down (Scott, 2001) is examined because Islam is shown as an enemy for the first time after 9/11. The movie The Hurt Locker (Bigelow, 2008) has been selected because it incites the idea that all Muslims may be terrorists. The film Lone Survivor (Berg, 2013) is analyzed for creating the perception that there are almost no good Muslims.
Communication education has become an expansive field of study. The aim of this study is to reveal the historical development of the field of communication education, its intellectual base and the research trends in the field. Document co-citation and burst detection methods were used to determine subfields and research trends in communication education. Bibliometric analysis was conducted through articles and proceeding papers, which were published in the field of communication education between 1990-2020, indexed by the Web of Science. As a result of the research, the majority of the researches in the field of communication education are seen to be carried out by the USA and European countries, and the number of publications has increased especially in recent years. Communication education research is mostly on health education-related fields. Doctor-patient communication in the field of Oncology and functional communication training are the broadest subfields and current trends in the field.
With the modern life practices that came with the Renaissance, the 'real' as turned into a processable form. This functional reality has led to the emergence of the socialization simulation universe created through screens. Indicators can be produced in the simulation universe. This reproducible reality makes itself visible through communication technology screens. For this reason, The Black Mirror series, which makes a dystopian concretization of the future world and conveys it through screens, is the sample of the study. In the series, the indicators in the simulation universe are in reproduction. The study is limited by Jean Baudriallards simulation theory. In this context, The Black Mirror; series, which we used as a sample in our research, reveals how the developments in communication technologies have affected humanity with the advancement of technology at this point and mirrors the present and the future. The series shows how technology, which is believed to make people's lives easier, actually surrounds and destroys these lives. The Black Mirror series conveys the results of the combination of technology and psychology in the simulation universe where everything is twinned. The episodes in the three seasons of the series were selected in the study. Among these chapters, The Entire History, Be Right Back, and Nosedive chapters are analyzed using a semiotic analysis method. As a result of the examination, findings were presented on the invisible face of the digital age. The research has predicted results by questioning a dystopic future by examining the possible problems that may arise with the development of technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
