D.) : The Department of Graphic Design, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 219-248).The dissertation approaches Yılmaz Güney as a social event and a phenomenon. It argues that Güney created a male Anatolian myth with his on-screen and off-screen masculinities, his physical difference from other Yeşilçam star and his moralistic attitude toward women. In order to investigate this myth, the dissertation historicizes Güney's star image within the socia-economic and political discourses of the 1960s and 1970s and points to an ambivalence, which stems from the contradictions in Güney's star image. The dissertations aims to demostrate this ambivalence in Güney's star image by discussing the ordinary and extra-ordinary characteristic of stardom and the socio-economic and political ramifications of the late-republican modernization project.ix, 248 leaves ; 30 cm.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMasculinityStar studiesYılmaz GüneyModernization in TurkeyThesisB132949
