Item Restricted Item Open Access Pictorial space: a comparative account of projective versus constructivist theories of graphic perception(1996) Anafarta, OrhanThis study aims at constructing an 'overall theoretical outline' that would structure the existing approaches to graphic perception within a comprehensible whole. In this context, two dominant theoretical paradigms, namely 'projective' and 'constructivist' arguments of pictorial perception are analysed in a comparative manner. Due to the fact that different theorists adopt these two arguments in varying degrees, 4 distinct approaches to pictorial perception are analysed extending within two extremes. The comparison is based on the phenomenon of pictorial space as a significant feature of graphic imagery.Item Open Access Visual literacy, metafiction, and horror movies : an account of self-reflexivity in the new stalker film(2001) Anafarta, OrhanThis study investigates the significance of metafiction, game, and visual literacy as they relate to today's changing practices of spectatorship. These concepts are elaborated in relation to the rebirth of the eighties' horror film genre 'stalker' as a selfreflexive text in the nineties. Scream (Wes Craven, 1996) is taken as the purest specimen of the 'new stalker' in which the abovementioned concepts can be observed with clarity.
