Kim Bu Vasfiye?: Bir Temsiliyet Krizi Olarak Adı Vasfiye Filmi

[safe] in a Narcissistic Closure
(2022) Tüzün, Defne; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
This article offers an in depth formal analysis of the film Safe (Todd Haynes: 1995) By attending to Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection as the earliest attempts to demarcate a space in the common, indistinguishable territory of the mother-child dyad and as an endeavor to overcome spatial ambivalence, this analysis focuses on the topography of the pre-symbolic. The study deals primarily with the film’s protagonist, Carol’s abjection, as evidenced by her relation to corporeality and to spatiality. Carol goes through a crisis in life and suffers from an undiagnosed illness. As the film progresses, she goes to a healing facility out in the desert, where she seeks treatment for her disease, here, but gradually regresses to a narcissistic phase. The semi-religious philosophy of this facility leads her to isolate herself from society and negates her integration into the socio-symbolic network. This self-indulgence and self-love finally causes her to be trapped in a narcissistic closure. This article discusses this narcissistic closure through the visual and audio analysis of the film.
Temsiliyet Krizi: Çek Yeni Dalga Filmlerinde Sistem Karşıtı Kadınlar
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2015) Bayman, Selda; Tüzün, Defne; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
Bu tezde, 1962'den 1968'e kadar Çekoslovakya'da üretilmiş, Yeni Dalga sinema akımının etkilerini taşıyan ve kadın figürlerin anlatılarının merkezinde olduğu filmlerdeki kadın temsilleri, sistem karşıtı hareketler bağlamında tartışılıyor. Bu araştırmada, Çek Yeni Dalga sineması olarak tarif edilen akımın etkilerini taşıyan filmlerdeki kadın figürleri performansları, ve hem filmlerin anlatısı, hem anlatım biçimleri bakımından üstlendikleri fonksiyonlar bağlamında incelenmiştir. Tezde, bu figürlerin, Çekoslovakya'da vatandaşların özgürlük ve eşitlik haklarını sınırlandıran sisteme karşı bir reform hareketi ve liberalleşme sürecini temsil ettikleri savı araştırılmıştır. Michel Foucault'nun özne ve iktidar ilişkisi ve 'biyo-iktidar' kavramı ile Judith Butler'ın 'performatif' kimlik kavramı bağlamında, Věra Chytilová'nın Bir Torba Dolusu Pire (Pytel Blech, 1962), Farklı Bir Şeyler (O něčem jiném, 1963) ve Miloš Forman'ın Bir Sarışının Aşkları (Lásky jedné plavovlásky, 1965) filmlerini inceleyen bu tezde, kadın figürlerin, ülkede yaşanan demokratikleşme ve liberalleşme sürecini temsil ediyor olabileceği önermesi tartışılmıştır. Bu tez özellikle, Chytilová'nın Papatyalar (Sedmikrásky, 1966) filminin detaylı formal analizi yaparak, filmin ana karakterleri olan Marie I ve Marie II'nin toplumsal kuralları nasıl ihlal ettiklerini ve filmin biçiminin de bu kural bozucu tutumu nasıl desteklediği göstererek, bu figürlerin, Çekoslovakya'da liberalleşme sürecini imleyen Prag Baharı'nın gelişini haber veren papatyalar olduğu iddiasını yapıyor.
Immersion of the Spectator
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Esen, Tan Müyesser; Tüzün, Defne; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
From the first cinematic screening to this day, the basic concern of the mainstream cinema had been its attraction from the audience. Cinema enlarged its frame, curved its screen, darkened its theater, used multiple projectors and screens, added sound and color, used surrounding system in sound, added third dimension by using additional glasses, in order to make the audience immersed in the narrative, and to create an impression of reality. In the digital era, cinema as many other art forms has come to a paradigm shift. The inevitable change in the production and distribution along with the screening techniques of cinema by the arrival of the digital technology, create new cinematic narration strategies. However, the desire for the immersion of the spectator in narrative remains. In this thesis, the aim is to examine the new immersive narration strategies from the perspective of the cinematic apparatus and its function by analyzing Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón, 2013) as a highly immersive narrative cinema example which regulates conventions of the invisible narration to digital era.

In Between Two Screens: Trauma, Memory, and Subjectivity in Gulsun Karamustafa's Work
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
Informed by psychoanalytic theory, this essay analyses two major video installations, namely The Settler (2003) and Memory of a Square (2005) by Gulsun Karamustafa, who is one of the best-known artists from Turkey. These two works are concerned with similar themes, such as trauma, memory, subjectivity, and spatiality, through certain stylistic choices which allow them to be evaluated and studied from a Lacanian perspective. Elaborating on Lacan's topology of the Real in relation to trauma as well as his notion of extimacy, this paper argues that in both works, the questions of exterior/interior, reality/imaginary, and public/private are repeatedly posed and subverted, thereby creating spatio-temporal and epistemological ambiguity for the spectators. Both works include double-projection video installations, and the presence of the two screens with the simultaneous flow of images in each work not only mobilizes the viewer's memory and facilitates their unconscious, but also invites them to contemplate their own history, subjectivity, and experiences.
1990 sonrasi Hollywood korku sinemasinda mise-en-abyme
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2017) Tüzün, Defne; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
1990 sonrasi Hollywood Korku Sinemasi'nin giderek kan kaybettigi ve cekilen filmlerin birbirinin tekrari hâline geldigi soylenmektedir. ''Metakorku'' olarak siniflandirilan bu filmlerin kendi yapilarina referans vererek tur kodlarini aynaladiklari gorulmektedir. Wes Craven John Carpenter ve Drew Goddard gibi yonetmenlerin filmlerinde ise bu konvansiyonlar sadece ifsa edilmek kalmaz ayni zamanda ihlâl de edilerek yeni bir soylem arayisina girilir. Korku Sinemasi'nin temsil krizini vurgulayan bu filmler diger bir yandan filmin sundugu gercek ve kurmaca arasindaki sinirin da bulaniklasmasini saglamaktadir. Filmin kendi farkindaligina varmasinin dolayisiyla kendi temsil sorununu yansitmasinin ve kendini yansitmasinin mise-en-abyme stratejisi ile desteklendigi gorulmektedir. Bu arastirmada New Nightmare (Wes Craven 1994) in the Mouth of Madness (John Carpenter 1994) ve The Cabin in the Woods (Drew Goddard 2012) filmlerinin formal analizi yapilarak 1990 sonrasi Hollywood Korku Sinemasi'nda mise-en-abyme anlatim stratejisinin nasil olusturuldugu ve neye hizmet ettigi arastirilmaktadir. Korku sinemasinin konvansiyonlarini nasil ifsa edip sonrasinda cignedigi ve bu kendini aynalayan orneklerinin nasil bir egilime isaret ettigine deginilmekle birlikte ortaya cikan temsil krizinin ayni zamanda anlatim bicimi ve endustri acisindan nasil bir imkân olarak degerlendirilebilecegi gibi sorularin cevabi aranmaktadir. Filmlerin analizi sonucunda mise- en-abyme anlatim stratejisinin kendi temsil sorunundan yola cikarak yeni bir anlatim biciminin kapisini actigi gozlemlenmistir.

A Moebial Ride Through Polanski’s Repulsion
(University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, 2020) Tüzün,D.; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
This article examines Roman Polanski’s film Repulsion from a psychoanalytic perspective by attending Julia Kristeva’s notion of abjection. This paper deals primarily with two main focal points. First, it focuses on the film’s portrayal of the protagonist, Carole’s abjection, her problem of non-differentiation, as evidenced by her relation to the maternal body and to corporeality. Secondly, the article investigates how the film positions its viewers with regard to Carole. It questions how Repulsion impels its spectators to engage Carole with a similar non-differentiation by generating a complex web of ambiguities with regard to the differentiation between external/internal, objective/subjective and reality/fantasy. © 2020, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh.

Scapegoats: the Femme Fatales of World War Ii
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2014) Bozcu, Merve; Tüzün, Defne; Tüzün, Defne; Radio, Television and Cinema
The hard-boiled femme fatales of film noir are usually represented as evil females and as a result they are often seen as a danger to society. However this notoriety usually results in their deaths and/or murders. in the end they are transformed into victims. This thesis focuses on this contradiction in two regards: What are the main reasons that they become victims as femme fatales and what is the meaning of this dilemma? This research answers such questions by exploring and utilizing René Girard’s theories of violence and Julia Kristeva’s notion of abjection through the textual analysis of the following films: Double indemnity (Billy Wilder 1944) Scarlet Street (Fritz Lang 1945) and The Strange Love of Martha ivers (Lewis Milestone 1946). The perils of these femme fatales are discussed in terms of the background of increasing women’s participation in the workforce in America during World War ii. This study concludes that the hard-boiled femme fatales are actually uncanny victims that bear traces of deep-seated social concerns and present a discussion about women’s new roles during the war years. -- Abstract'tan.
