Özet (Çeviri)
This dissertation explores the incorporation of Facebook into everyday life activities and practices of a group of young Turkish-American women affiliated with a faith-based movement known as the Hizmet (volunteer's service) movement. In particular, I examine the emergent communicative practices and performances of these young women and how these young women create a sense of identity and community and negotiate these via this online medium across their diverse geographical localities. I start my analysis by investigating several instances of discourse, and within these I focus on metacommunicative, metapragmatic, and metadiscursive acts in aiming to understand their semiotic performances on and off Facebook. I found that these young Turkish-American women, after being dispersed to different locations, began to see Facebook as a vital means to maintain their group ties. Furthermore, their use of Facebook from 2008 to 2011 focused more and more on Hizmet purposes. Stepping into the ideological realm, I understand that the notion of“friendship”is highly influenced by an ideology of tefânî (advanced level of religious brotherhood). That is, true/religious brotherhood is one of the important principles of gaining ikhlas (sincerity) and hence a way to establish good relations with God; these young women see Facebook as a means to further their relationship with their sisters and thus establish a good relationship with God. Influenced by several competing ideologies, these young women negotiated the use and incorporation of Facebook into their everyday life and especially its positive and negative consequences in terms of their religiosity. Through differentiating their Facebook use from its popular uses, they transform it into a Vefabook (Loyaltybook), and hence employ it as a medium of/for vefa (loyalty) through which they practice uhuvvet (religious brotherhood) and tefânî. Their unique ways of speaking and circulation of stretches of discourse contribute to transforming Facebook into a vefa space where they mainly interact with their sisters in their group.
