Özet

The Anthropocene era affects all of humanity directly and indirectly due to the phenomenon of climate change caused by the disproportionate impact of human activities. This study has an interdisciplinary design that integrates communication, sociology, and environmental science. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the necessity of sustainable life for ecosystem balance, the importance of cultural capital in the context of ecological literacy and the representation of the climate crisis in the media through the semiotic analysis and the reception of sustainability-themed magazine advertisements. The study, which includes semiotic analysis and reception analysis as qualitative research methods, relies on communication theories and theories of social change from sociology. The findings include the most important actor in the process, the role of the means of communication, the level of knowledge, the reception of advertisements and the issues that can be compromised for a better world.
