- Abstract
Today, the women's movement has moved to a different dimension with digital activism. Women have created a new activism by bringing issues such as equal pay for the same work, improvement of working conditions and harassment in the workplace to digital platforms and social media, and this activism movement has also moved to the TV series and film industry all over the world. The movements that started against sexual harassment and attacks in the American cinema industry turned into a digital women's activism with the #MeToo and #TimesUp hashtags, and gender equality was promoted by condemning sexual harassment on social networks. Although the patriarchal perspective of women continues to be underrepresented in the media and especially in television series, it has been argued that the #TimesUp movement should increase the number of women in front of and behind the camera and the effects of social movements should be placed in media productions. In this context, by supporting the #MeToo movement with the hashtags #susmabitsin (speak up to end) and #sendeanlat (tell your story) in Turkey, the issue was also carried to the TV series and film industries in Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine how digital activism, which is formed by both women's movements #MeToo and #TimesUp, is effective on the scenarios of television series and set working environments in Turkey. As a method in the research, the TV series "Yasak Elma" (Forbidden Apple) and "Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey"(All about Marriage), two of the most watched women-themed TV series in Turkey, were discussed, and it has been questioned from a feminist perspective, how the #MeToo movement and the #TimesUp organization has had an influence on the work conditions in the TV series industry in Turkey. Indepth interviews were conducted with the actors, producers and directors of these series by making observations on the sets of the aforementioned TV series. Approval was obtained with the 26/06/2022 dated and 2022/05 numbered ethics committee decision of Istanbul Topkapı University Academic Research and Publication Ethics Committee on the conduct of this study.
