Özet:

Space and time in film narrative represent the relationships between characters and narrative and allow developing the relation between the narrative and the character. Relations between characters and space have a vital role to understand the space with regard to spectators. In this case, time concept contributes in explaining the meaning of space element, which is an important element in the narrative. In this study, main characters of Reha Erdem’s film Beş Vakit, Yakup, Ömer and Yıldız’s lifes in the village are discussed as the basis of space element through the heterotopia concept of Henri Lefebvre. Village is a space in the focus of the narrative and the time spent in the village also shapes the lives of the characters in that respect. In this context, based on the relationship of the characters with the narrative, time element in the narrative is interpreted through the chronotope concept proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin. Theoretical framework of the represented narrative space is constituted by Michael Foucault’s heterotopia concept and Edward Soja’s third space discussions. Analyzing space and time concepts in the focus of the narrative in terms of their relationships with characters with heterotopia and chronotope concepts on the basis of narratology also enables the spectators question the film’s inference.
