“Series and Identity Representations” seminar
At the seminar titled “Series and Identity Representations,” held within the Department of Radio, Television, and Cinema at the Faculty of Communication on the 26th March 2026, the focus was on how television series shape social structures and individuals’ perceptions of identity. The seminar emphasized that series are not merely tools of entertainment but powerful media texts that reproduce dominant ideologies and convey them to broad audiences.
Additionally, analyses of popular series were used to discuss how social values are reproduced through characters and narrative structures. The seminar highlighted that series influence many areas, from cultural consumption habits to everyday life practices, and that viewers internalize certain values through these contents. Participants had the opportunity to critically evaluate media content. The purpose of this event was to explain to participants how identity is formed and represented through television series, as well as to teach them to critically analyze media products. The content of the event included discussions and illustrative analyses on gender, social class, and cultural identity in series, the roles of characters, narrative structures, stereotypes, and ideological methods.
