The Place of Cultural Place Time Perception in Narration Construction and Sample Examinations

The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences brought about by the sense of time-space, a founding element in social life, in narratives, in general, and in cinematic narrative in particular. A rational sense of time-space, which is unique to modern societies, has generated the dramatic structure based on the idea of progress and causation. In those countries that have not undergone a modernization process, as is the case for Turkey, the dramatic structure is not well-established owing to a preceding lack of a rational sense of time-space. Therefore, a comparison will be made between Yesilcam cinema as well as subsequent films and modern cinema. In addition, an analysis of timespace will be conducted through case films. Cenneti Beklerken and Yumurta have been selected for the case films of the present study. This study suggests a different perspective on Turkish cinema than studies from the perspective of Dramatic Structure. The study, whose most important reference point is the different trials of narrative in modern cinema, recommends developing a distinctive form of cinema narrative through an analysis of the cultural and social structure which defines the Visual and audio codes of Turkish cinema.
