Özet:

In 1970s, television became a widespread entertainment and communication tool in Turkey. Because of this fact, cinema had lost its popularity in those days and Yeşilçam found the way of gaining money by producing erotic movies. In this study, female Turkish movie stars’ subordinate position in Turkish erotic movies between 1974 and 1979 is discussed and criticized. By doing so, how women images are created and how patriarchal discourses are reproduced in Turkish erotic movies are examined. The main argument of the study is, in Turkish erotic movies, although some of them are superstars of Yeşilçam, women are represented in subordinate positions and the overall oppression of women in the society is reproduced by these movies. The movies were analyzed by “content analysis” technique and frequency analyses method was used in order to analyze, “the erotic scenes”, “the fetish objects” and “the socio-economic status of the male and female characters of the movies”. Besides, the camera movements, mise en scene and the colors of the movies are analyzed in the study.
