Characters and narration in Ertem E¿ilmez's films

Narrative studies had came into being through the influence of linguistics and semiology to analyze narrative as a structure. Ertem E¿ilmez' films made important contributions to Turkish cinema and were analyzed looking through the lens of the possibilities of narrative studies in this book. Character is one of the elements of the narrative. The aim of this book is to analyze Ertem E¿ilmez's films as a narrative in all of its elements but especially through his characters and the development process of these characters. I also consider Ye¿ilçam which defines the parameters of his cinema. The narratives themselves are also influenced by Ye¿ilçam. In this sense the characters and the narratives of Ye¿ilçam are also the subjects of this book. The aim of these analyses is to show the roots of this subject.
