| description | Well is one of the important sources to reach water in rural areas where
technological opportunuties are limited in. It’s seen that, this source has a place in
Turkish culture, in the world of literature and thought in both real and figurative
meanings. The reality is well theme has been using as a powerful symbol in daily
life idioms and proverbs, mânis and folk songs, tales, mythes, legends, classical
poems, modern literature apart from it’s worldly meaning. Therefore, the reflection
of well theme to Tukish movie theatre has a parallel direction with its’ common
using in both Turkish culture and literature. It is seen that; material, legendary
and psychological aspects of well are emphasized in dramas and horror movies.
In this article, the transfer of well theme from folk culture and Turkish literature
to movie theatre is examined with a functionalist point. It is tried to be analysed
over the well theme that; although there is a thought of a materialistic factor
has lost its’ function apparently, with the changing of context, it has gained new
functions. With this research besides its’ water resource, these functions of well
are determined; it is a socialising means, a source for taboo, useful as a witness for
people who fix their faults, a milestone in the life of people who are seen as holy
figures, a symbol to describe impossibilities and desperations. Also, it is a way to
descibe beauty of lover in classical literature, has various functions as a metaphor
to impress the “death, sexuality, past, unknown” and complicated feelings in both
modern literature and movie theatre. |
