| description | Cengiz Aytmatov’s story Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalım, translated from
Russian into Turkish, and the film adaptation of the same name, directed by
Atıf Yılmaz and with the screenplay by Ali Özgentürk, have both formal and
intertextual relations with the Grimm Brothers variant of the fairy tale “Little
Red Riding Hood”. I will try to argue that it assumes a similar social and moral
function in the context of controlling and limiting the female body and sexuality
within the patriarchal family structure. In the review, I will deal with the three
texts in order, in terms of plot, signs that make intertextual ties visible, and the
formation of characters on the axis of individual-society conflict. The example
story presented with a metaphorical expression in “Little Red Riding Hood” is
directly expressed in the aforementioned novel and film; The tension between
the woman’s effort to exist as a subject who desires and travels outside the
home in pursuit of her desires, and the tension between being desired and kept
inside the home by the man results in the latter. At the center of the conflict
between her social duties, the young girl crosses the threshold of puberty by
suppressing her desires and accepting her passive role and maternal identity
within the boundaries of the male-dominated holy family. While revealing the
links between these three texts, Jack Zipes’s observations on “Little Red Riding Hood” variants and adaptations, as well as Vladimir Propp’s conceptualization
on the functions of characters in extraordinary fairy tales, some observations
on intertextuality, and determinations on the history of modernity and sexuality
were used. |
