İlk kez Georg Simmel tarafından daha çok kent yaşamına özgü mekânsal bir durum olarak tanımlanan bıkkınlık, bu makalede ise kentin sınırlarına indirgenemeyen genel bir insanlık durumu olarak ele alınmaktadır. Melankoliye kıyasla yıkıcı doku taşıyan bıkkınlık tavrı, bu çalışmada Türk yönetmen Nuri Bilge Ceylan yönettiği Ahlat Ağacı (2018) filminin karakterleri üzerinden tartışılmaktadır. Bir yöntem olarak bu sinemasal izdüşüm, gri, depresif ve karamsar bir duygulanım olan bıkkınlık meselesini yetkin bir şekilde inceleme imkânı sunmaktadır. Ceylan’ın filmlerinden görüldüğü üzere, modern birey artık yalnızca öteki ile değil; kendi varlıkları, vicdanları ve verili değerlerle karşı karşıyadır. Dahası, taraflar arasında açık bir hesaplaşma da söz konusu 64 değildir. Bıkkınlığı kent ve taşra kültürlerinin ötesinde bireysel düzeyde tecrübe edilen bir toplumsal vakıa olarak inceleyen bu makale, bıkkınlığa temelde bir modern insan katastrofisi olarak yaklaşmaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: bıkkınlık tavrı, kent, taşra, film, Ahlat Ağacı UNDER THE SHADOW OF “THE WILD PILLOW TREE” AND BEYOND THE CITY AND PROVINCE: THE RISE OF BLASÉ ATTITUDE IN THE MODERN EVERYDAY LIFE Abstract This paper focuses on the question of blasé attitude that has turned into an extent of modern culture and into an ordinary manifestation of everyday life. The term blasé attitude, which was used firstly by Georg Simmel as sociological case peculiar to the urban life, is dealt with in this article as human condition that cannot be reduced to spatial borders.

  • Father-Son Relationship in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's the Wild Pear Tree
    Wild Pear Trees, Patrimonial Legacies: Father-Son Relationship in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s The Wild Pear Tree Coşkun Liktor, Independent Scholar [email protected] Volume 8.2 (2020) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2020.233 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This article analyzes the father-son relationship in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s latest film The Wild Pear Tree (2018), which tells the story of a son who desires a life as unlike his father’s narrow, provincial life as possible, only to find himself following in his father’s footsteps almost against his will. Drawing upon Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, this article examines the film as an oedipal drama that portrays the predicament of a son who grapples with an ineffectual, humiliated father that fails to embody the paternal function. It undertakes to show how the father-son conflict eventually culminates in the father’s transformation from an object of contempt into an identificatory ideal for his son, who becomes heir to a legacy of disillusionment and thwarted hopes.

  • A “Sensuous” Approach to the Cinema of Nuri Bilge Ceylan
    A “Sensuous” Approach to the Cinema of Nuri Bilge Ceylan Principles of Embodied Film Experience Ali Aydın Department of Media Studies Degree 30 HE credits Cinema Studies Master’s Programme (120 HE credits) Spring 2018 Supervisor: Bo Florin A “Sensuous” Approach to the Cinema of Nuri Bilge Ceylan Principles of Embodied Film Experience Ali Aydın Abstract Over the last decades, film theories with their focus on the mere audiovisual quality of cinema have been questioned by film scholars with a phenomenological interest. According to these critical ap- proaches, the film experience cannot be understood through a mere involvement of the eye (and the ear). In this context, to disregard the significance of a multisensory attachment to the film results in the con- sideration of relationship between the film and the viewer to be a dominating one. This dissertation examines this multisensory attachment and aims to define the film experience as an embodied relation- ship between the film and the viewer by means of a formal analysis of the Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s early films. Throughout the dissertation, it is argued that Ceylan encourages his viewer in various forms to have a more sensual and immediate experience of his films rather than to compel them to adhere to symbols and abstractions through a kind of intellectual effort – an intellectual effort that would damage the “sensuous” attachment between the film and the viewer. Keywords Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Cocoon, The Small Town, Clouds of May, Distant, phenomenology, haptic visuality, embodied film experience, senses, sensual/sensuous, body, skin, tactile, mimesis, interpretation, erotics, play/game.

    1 chapter 7 the place for mothers in films of the bush There's nothing here for a wife except submission. My only purpose is to produce heirs for all this. Sometimes I feel just like another of his brood mares.1 The bush has become the mainstay of our mythology and, according to Ross Gibson, has defined the nation and offered 'the most enduring aspect of Australian experience'.2 A common description of an Australian, for example, depicted a figure who was tough, strong and tanned, a man of the land, a battler, a bit of a larrikin and someone, as Russel Ward has noted, who 'above all, will stick to his mates'.3 At the foundation of this stereotype was a nation which was rural, physically challenging and unequivocally male.4 The bush was proposed as a place for men, where they could realise their masculine desires, pit themselves against a formidable opponent and find pleasure in their male companions. Unlike the palimpsest of England, the Australian landscape provided the pioneers something unwritten and new. Myths of the bush were used as a method of finding a new Australian identity away from the limitations of English society. Gibson observed that while an autochthonous society might be inclined to rely on gods to explain its origins, a colonial society tended to use more 'secular myths'. The white settlers used 'essentialist myths of the land' Gibson argued, to find a place for themselves which was separate from the Old World.5 The physical labour required in the harsh conditions meant that a 'machismo' environment flourished and mateship and brute strength came to be prized.6 The aura of masculinity was exaggerated because 1Mrs Dalgleish, the disgruntled wife of a large outback property owner in Donald Crombie's The Irishman (1978).

  • Copyright Sources for Australian Drama and Film Richard Fotheringham Many Early Australian Play Scripts Have Survived Only Because of Stage Censorship
    Copyright Sources For Australian Drama and Film Richard Fotheringham Many early Australian play scripts have survived only because of stage censorship. Such manuscripts have been retained in files in the Australian Archives’ copyright files. The author outlines some of his more interesting discoveries during his research, and describes how to proceed to view them. One of the side benefits of the otherwise dubious practice of stage censorship is that it was an excellent way of ensuring that scripts of performed plays were preserved for posterity. It is because of the Lord Chamberlain’s Office in London, for example, that complete manuscripts of two of the most important Australian plays of the nineteenth century George Darrell’s The Sunny South and Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch’s stage version of Robbery Under Arms — were preserved in the British Library and eventually published in modern critical editions.1 The British censorship system became involved because both plays had at different times been staged in London, as were several other Australian plays held in this collection. It has usually been assumed that the survival of unpublished playtexts performed only in Australia, after the early attempts at censorship, was a far less regular or regulated business, and that we are faced with the almost total disappearance of the plays of several vigorous and exciting ages of Australian drama, including significant works written as recently as the 1930s. It is not just stage history which is impoverished by the loss of these texts, for the live stage has always been a place where the Australian language, its slang and colloquialisms, is quickly picked up; and a place too where contemporary ideas about nationhood, nationalism, aboriginal people, ethnic minorities, the role of women in Australian society, the Australian identity, war, the bush and the city etc, have been freely discussed.

Current Issue Back Issues Occasional Papers Publications Webteque Events About Us Archives Margot Nash Lottie Lyell was a much-loved silent movie star in the early days of cinema in Australia. She was also an accomplished scenario writer, director, film editor, and producer. Quietly working alongside director, Raymond Longford, she had a considerable influence on the twenty-eight films they made together. [1] Longford directed and Lyell starred in nearly all the films, but it is now generally accepted that she contributed a great deal more to all the films than was officially acknowledged at the time. [2] This article builds on the existing research on Lyell through a focus on her work as a scenario writer. It also makes a contribution to screenwriting research through a study of some of the original scenarios held in the archives. In her work on the Canadian silent screen star, scenario writer, director, and producer, Nell Shipman, Kay Armitage writes of the experience of original research in the archives and “the sense of the body of the subject as perceived through the sensorium of the researcher”: … every time Shipman typed a capital, the letter jumped up half a line, and when she came to the end of a sentence, she hit the period key with such force that it left a hole in the paper … That it is Shipman’s body that we contact, rather than a simple fault in the machine, is proven when we read a letter written by Shipman’s husband on the same typewriter.

    Lottie Lyell Also Known As: Lottie Edith Cox Lived: February 23, 1890 - December 21, 1925 Worked as: art director, director, editor, film actress, producer, screenwriter, theatre actress, title writer Worked In: Australia by Margot Nash Lottie Lyell was a much-loved silent film star in Australia. She was also a scenario writer, director, editor, producer, and art director. Quietly working alongside director Raymond Longford, she had a significant influence on the twenty-eight films they made together. Lyell starred in nearly all the films, but it is now generally accepted that she contributed a great deal more than was officially acknowledged at the time (Wright 1986, 1-14; Pike and Cooper 1998, 19, 109; Dooley 2000, 4). The Australian feature film renaissance of the 1970s awakened interest in the rich history of Australian cinema, and feminist scholars and archivists like Andrée Wright and Marilyn Dooley began to research the role of women in the early days of Australian cinema. In 1985, Wright produced a feature documentary called Don’t Call Me Girlie. Lottie Lyell featured in the section on the silent era and Wright included camera interviews with surviving actors and crew who testified to the major role Lyell had played both on and off screen. The following year, Wright published Brilliant Careers, devoting the first chapter to Lyell and calling it “The Sentimental Girl” (1-14). The title refers to Lyell and Longford’s most successful film, The Sentimental Bloke (1919). Based on the poem by C.J. Dennis, the film tells the story of a “knock about” bloke just out of jail who falls in love with a local lass.

MERKEZ-ÇEVRE İLİŞKİSİ BAĞLAMINDA AHLAT AĞACI FİLMİ ÜZERİNE DÜŞÜNCELER Ercan GEÇGİN* ÖZET Bu makale, Nuri Bilge Ceylan’ın yönetmenliğini yaptığı Ahlat Ağacı (2018) filmi üzerine bir analiz denemesidir. Film, olay örgüsünden ziyade toplumsal ilişkilere dair yoğun bir durum betimlemesine dayanmaktadır. Analizde, Şerif Mardin’in Edward Shils’ten ödünç aldığı ve Türkiye’ye uyarladığı merkez-çevre ilişkisi modeli temel alınmaktadır. Mardin, bu model çerçevesinde, Türkiye’nin toplumsal gerçekliğini tarihsel bir perspektifle ele almıştır. Filmde, Türkiye’nin kültürel formasyonuyla ilgili, merkez ve taşra ikiliğine dair birtakım göndermeler yer almaktadır. Türkiye’nin gündelik hayatıyla ilgili önemli bazı kültürel kalıplar, bir taşra kenti örneğinde yoğun bir şekilde filmde temsil edilmektedir. Ayrıca, merkez-çevre geriliminin farklı düzeylerine karşılık gelen figürlere ve uzun diyaloglara filmde yer verilmiştir. Bu açıdan sosyal bilimcilerin toplum ve kültür analizleri için önemli veriler sunabilmektedir. Makale, taşranın kültürel sınırlarına odaklanmanın yanında Türkiye’nin bugünkü toplumsal ve kültürel ruhuyla ilgili bazı çıkarımları da içermektedir. Bu vesileyle merkez-çevre ilişki modelinin sınırlılıkları ve imkânları da tartışılmaktadır.
