Parents’ moral discussions about strategies for monitoring children’s media exposure
Medya teknolojisi sosyo-kültürel yapıların ve uygulamaların zengin sunumunun bir parçasıdır. Ebeveynler her yeni aracı korku ve umut karışımı bir duygu ile karşılamaktadırlar ve kendi rollerine medyanın yeni zorluklar sunduğunu giderek artan bir şekilde kabul etmektedirler. Bu çalışma, çift maaşlı ailelerdeki ebeveynlerle yapılan görüşmelerin budunbetimsel söylem çözümlemesi yoluyla, evde çocukların medya kullanımları ile ilgili ebeveynlerin söylemlerini incelemektedir. Analiz medya kullanımının hassas bir alan olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Çocuklarının medyaya maruz kalmalarını nasıl kontrol etmeye çalıştıklarını tartışırken, ebeyenler ahlak temsilcileri kesilmektedirler. Ebeveynler kendi uygulamalarını diğerlerininkilerle karşılaştırma, kendilerini “doğru olanı yapan” olarak tasvir etme ve ebeveynliğin ideal ahlak timsaline bağlı kalma gibi çeşitli stratejiler kullanmaktadırlar. Medya ile karşılaştırıldığında, kültürün uygulamaları, tercihleri ve ideolojileri ile birlikte bireylerin sorumluluklarına nasıl nüfuz ettiği konusuna özellikle ağırlık verilmektedir.
Media technology is part of a rich interplay of socio-cultural artifacts and practices. Parents greet each new medium with a mixture of fear and hope, and they increasingly acknowledge that media present new challenges for their roles as parents. Through ethnographically-informed discourse analysis of interviews with parents in dualearner families, this paper investigates parents' discourse on children's media use in the home. Analysis reveals that media use is a sensitive arena, one in which parents struggle to present themselves as moral agents when discussing how they attempt to control their children's media exposure. Parents employ multiple strategies, such as contrasting one's own practice with others‚ to portray themselves as "doing the right thing", adhering to an ideal moral image of parenthood. A particular focus is put on how the collective voice of culture with its practices, preferences, and ideologies seems to permeate the individual's articulation of accountability vis-à-vis media.
