Özet:

The ‘public sphere’ and ‘special sphere’ represent two different facts related to each other, formed in the social and political conditions of Western European societies and again gained meaning in this context. The mutual building characteristic of these two phenomena makes it necessary to consider the other to understand one. In the last century, public spaces are expanding every day due to reasons such as ‘security’, ‘shared benefit’, while private life spaces are constantly shrinking. With regard to the phase of development of the Internet technology, the private space connected with the individual’s living area is shrinking and turning into a little more supervisory object every day. Furthermore, the transformation of the private life sphere into a more and more supervisory object does not happen, as it was before, by the interference of a completely external will, but by the individual’s own desires and efforts. Individuals are aligned by presenting almost without distinction all their personal and private characteristics to everyone’s interest and knowledge, and they are also satisfied with this in an unusual manner. This study is based on the scan of public/private literature. In this context, the construction process of the concepts of public and private spaces has been studied, followed by the general reduction of communication technologies, especially through social media, by turning the private spaces into supervisory objects.
