Bu çalışma, varlıklı bir arka plana sahip ya da öyle olmayı dileyen ve bu nedenle de varlıklı görünmek isteyen, çoğunlukla kadınlardan olmak üzere gençlerden oluşan bir alt kültürü temsil eden tiki gençlik karakteri üzerinde gerçekleşen toplumsal anlamlandırma sürecine açıklama getirmeyi amaçlar. 1990ların başından bu yana kavram, hem erkek hem de kadınları kapsayan ciks, tiki ve Pelinsu gibi toplumsal karakterlere gönderimde bulunmak için kullanılmıştır. Fakat bu artzamanlı sürecin son dönemlerinde bu kavram bir kadın adı olan Pelinsu çerçevesinde adlandırılmaya başlanmış ve sadece kadınlara yönelik bir gönderimsellik kazanmıştır. Bu sürecin ardında bulunan mekanizmayı açıklamak için bu çalışma Ekşi Sözlük’teki tiki ve Pelinsu tanımlarına odaklanmakta ve belirtisellik kuramı üzerinden belirtisel alanları bulgulamaktadır. Çalışma iki açıdan önemli bulgulara sahiptir: İlk olarak, çalışmanın bulguları Ekşi Sözlük kullanıcılarının tiki ve Pelinsu toplumsal karakterlerini nasıl yansıttıkları ve inşa ettikleri bağlamında toplumsal anlamlandırma sürecinin devimsel doğasını ortaya koymaktadır. Bunun yanında çalışma, Türkiye’deki gençlik kimliği üzerine benzer toplumsal anlamlandırma olgularına açıklama getirmeyi amaçlayan gelecek çalışmalara analitik bir çerçeve sağlamaktadır
This study aims to explain the process of social understanding that occurs on the character of the tiki youth who has a rich background or who wishes to be so and therefore wishes to look rich, which represents a subcultures consisting mostly of young people, including women. Since the early 1990s, the concept has been used to refer to social characters such as ciks, tiki and Pelinsu that cover both men and women. But in the latter periods of this increasing process, this concept began to be called in the framework of a female name, Pelinsu, and it gained a missionality only towards women. To explain the mechanism behind this process, this study focuses on the definitions of tiki and Pelinsu in the Echo Dictionary and finds the indicative fields through the theory of characteristics. The study has two important findings: First, the findings of the study reveal the devastating nature of the process of social understanding in the context of how the Tiki and Pelinsu social characters are reflected and built by the Tiki Dictionary users. In addition, the study provides an analytical framework for future studies aimed at bringing an explanation of the facts of similar social understanding on youth identity in Turkey.
This work aims to bring an understanding to an ongoing process of social meaning making on a youth persona called tiki, which refers to young people, mostly girls, who have wealthy backgrounds or who want to be, and thus, seem like that. Since the very beginning of the 1990s, the term tiki has acquired different social meanings that refer to such personae as ciks, tiki and Pelinsu that cover both men and women. However, in the course of this diachronic process, the term has recently been labelled as Pelinsu, which is a female given name, and thus, has acquired social meanings that denote only the women. To make sense of the mechanism behind this process, the study draws on Ekşi Sözlük descriptions of tiki and Pelinsu and applies analytical framework developed under the theory of indexicality, namely the indexical field. The findings are important for two reasons; firstly, social meaning making process is dynamic in the sense that how Ekşi Sözlük users project and construct social personae of tiki and Pelinsu. In addition, this study provides an analytical framework to the future studies that aim to bring an understanding to how youth identity in Turkey is socially constructed and projected
