Özet:

This study focused on the experiences of ‘Başka Sinema’ audience, coded as an arthouse cinema audience. The concepts of habitus, field, cultural capital and game of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology constitute the theoretical framework of the study. This framework provides an intriguing area of discussion in the analysis of the experiences of ‘Başka Sinema’ audiences. Bourdieu emphasizes that "tastes" create a unifying "field" and states that agents with similar "habitus" perform common practices. In this context, whether there are partnership in the viewing experiences of ‘Başka Sinema’ audiences, who came together in a common field as an arthouse cinema audience, is the main problematic of this study. The data obtained through the interview and participant observation method were analyzed under four titles created by the thematic analysis method. In the analysis of the data obtained was examined how the relationship between habitus, field, cultural capital and game is found in the field of ‘Başka Sinema’. The data obtained as a result of interviews made with twenty people through the semi-structured interview form did not find 'inherited cultural capital' at the point of the audience's acquiring cultural capital. In this context, different findings have emerged from Bourdieu’s framework. However, it was concluded that individual practices combined to create a mass partnership in terms of the practices of the agents, and compatibility with the theoretical framework was achieved.
