Ankara : The Department of Graphic Design and The Institute of Economics and Social Sciences of Bilkent University, 1997.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1997.Includes bibliographical references.In this study a particular aspect of melodramas (namely, party scenes) in the
heyday of the Turkish cinema, especially between the early 1960s and the
mid-1970s, is analyzed. In this respect, the visual representation of the party
scenes in a variety of films is taken into consideration with the social context
of Turkey on the basis of an antagonism between the center and the
periphery. In addition, a formal analysis of the party scenes in the films
paves the way to comment on the visual representation of the party youth.
Then, this study, in the last instance, aims at deploying the representation of
the party youth in Yeşilgam melodramas in relation to the project of
Westernization.Arslan, SavaşM.S
