Summary: | Since the day when human beings have come from eternity, the universe continues to exist within a structure that thinks in a universe going on forever and produces meaning and can make sense of almost everything it encounters around it. Together with the power of meaning to produce the meaning of language, individuals re-construct the process of interpretation over and over again when they encounter in each new situation they face. As large-scale changes in socio-cultural, economic and technological grounds eliminate the previous forms of meaning/interpretation; they form new forms of meaning/interpretation to adapt to the new process, as well. In this context, technological changes occurred in recent years have shaped almost everything, especially communication technologies, having embraced in a loop and revealed the necessity to re-create traditional interpreting patterns. The brands, which are a completely communicative phenomenon, started to search the ground of new interpretation patterns with the effect of these changes. Having reconstructed the structure related with needs in order to survive in an intensely competitive environment, brands that are owed their presence to the purchase or consumption of their assets, make consumers reinterpret this new structure in their minds. This study focuses on how a change is taken place in the reinterpretation of the needs in brands which are in the center of the phenomenon of consumption by the effect of the brand 2.0 as the result of a reflection of the web technologies. In this study which will be carried out on consumers, it is tried to determine what are the factors that affect the reinterpretation of the needs by using a survey technique. |
