Özet:

Cinema has embodied certain dramatic narrative representations since the beginning of its history. In these dramatic representations which stem from Aristotle’s Poetics, male is treated as the subject and female characters take shape either via the male gaze or its influence. Also the status of the male determines living space of the female. When examined from this aspect the history of Turkish Cinema in general, like its examples in world cinema, and the recent era of Turkish Cinema in particular lean mostly on male stories. Senem Tüzen’s movie MOTHERLAND was considered suitable to be examined for this study because on one hand, the movie unlike its contemporaries tells the story of a woman who goes back to her homeland with a different narration than the prevalent rural narrative, on the other hand Tüzen includes mother-daughter conflict to the narration. Based on this approachh the mother-daughter conflict which forms a basis for the narrative of the movie is analysed within the scope of the archetypes of Carl Gustav Jung. In the first part of the study literature about conceptual approach of Carl Gustav Jung’s archetypes is presented. Based on this context, the second part presents mother-daughter conflict with its relations to Jung ergo archetypes.
