Özet:

 In the modern era, television plays a decisive role in the relationship between television and society. This situation underscores the importance of the concept of representation. Media is a significant tool that reflects societal perceptions and behaviors. However, in the media, the representation of the elderly is shaped through negative discourses, portraying the elderly as vulnerable and passive individuals. In contrast, focusing on the positive aspects of elderly representation, as opposed to the portrayal of bad, lacking, or insufficient aspects, is believed to positively influence the perception of aging. The purpose of this study is to analyze the character Ciritçi Abdullah in the television series Gönül Dağı as an example of elderly representation on television within the framework of activity theory and the concept of wisdom in old age. In this context, the research is structured in a qualitative design. Qualitative content analysis and descriptive analysis techniques were used in the analysis of the research. The findings are divided into 2 main themes and 3 sub-themes. The first main theme is the example of Ciritçi Abdullah in the context of activity theory, consisting of three sub-themes: 1 physical activity, 2 social participation and support, and 3 social roles and family relationships. The second main theme is the example of Ciritçi Abdullah in the context of wisdom in old age. In conclusion, contrary to the literature, it can be said that the character of Ciritçi Abdullah is portrayed as wise, active, helpful, with strong family relationships and a robust social environment, presenting a positive representation of aging. The widespread dissemination of such positive elderly representations in the media and an increase in studies related to elderly representation are recommended.

 Modern çağda, televizyon-toplum ilişkisinde televizyonun belirleyici bir rolü bulunmaktadır. Bu durum temsil kavramının önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Medya, toplumsal algı ve davranışları yansıtan önemli bir araçtır. Ancak medyada yaşlı temsili olumsuz söylemler üzerinden şekillenmekte ve yaşlılar korunmaya muhtaç ve edilgen bireyler olarak kalıplaştırılmaktadır. Buna karşılık yaşlı temsilinin kötü-eksik-yetersiz temsilinin aksine olumlu yönlerine odaklanmanın yaşlanma algısını da olumlu anlamda etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı aktivite teorisi ve yaşlılıkta bilgelik kavramı çerçevesinde televizyonda yaşlı temsilinin bir örneği olarak Gönül Dağı dizisinde yer alan Ciritçi Abdullah karakterini analiz etmektir. Bu bağlamda araştırma nitel desende yapılandırılmıştır. Araştırmanın analizinde nitel içerik analizi ve betimsel analiz teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular 2 ana temaya ve 3 alt temaya ayrılmıştır. Ana temalardan ilki aktivite teorisi bağlamında Ciritçi Abdullah örneğidir. Bu ana tema altında 3 alt tema bulunmaktadır. Bunlar 1 fiziksel aktivite 2 sosyal katılım ve sosyal destek 3 sosyal rol ve aile ilişkileri biçimindedir. İkinci ana tema ise yaşlılıkta bilgelik bağlamında Ciritçi Abdullah örneğidir. Sonuç olarak, literatürün aksine Ciritçi Abdullah karakterinin bilge, aktif, yardımsever, aile ilişkilerinin ve sosyal çevresinin güçlü olduğu ve yaşlı temsilinin olumlu olduğu bir rolde olduğu söylenebilir. Bu tür yaşlı temsillerinin medyada yaygınlaşması ve yaşlı temsili ile ilgili çalışmaların artırılması önerilmektedir.
