Koronavirüs Salgını Sürecinde Sosyal İzolasyon ve Medya
Social Isolation and Media During The Coronavirus Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The Coronavirus pandemic that has occurred worldwide since the first months of 2020 has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Before the Coronavirus period, people were forced to converge, while during this period they began to diverge from each other. In this article, we examined the issue of social isolation, which is the result of being unable to migrate and stay in place, as opposed to human mobility, and focused on television and social media. Social life is completely changed during the epidemic period. People clung to technological tools and began to continue their social lives in this way. This study was prepared with Michele Foucault's point of view and based on the claim that powers were given the opportunity to rule over bodies and populations in the light of the concept of bio-power between life and death during the epidemic. The aim of this article is to explain the control practices in today's mechanisms of capitalism in the social isolation processes that began with the Coronavirus pandemic and to try to understand the effect of the media on this process. It was aimed to understand these power and power relations through he news in the media.The media that Foaucault refers to has always been effective in creating bio-political and bio- power, and has benefited from the pandemic process in perpetuating capitalism.
