Yeşim Ustaoğlu’nun Tereddüt (2016) filminde kadın bakışı aracılığıyla inşa edilen anlamın sinemasal araçlar üzerinden analizi
Öz
Sinemada kadın bakışı akademik alanyazında henüz net bir biçimde tanımlanmamış olsa da, bu kavramın kadın yönetmenin ve kadın karakterin bakışı, bakış açısı, sesi, öznelliği, duygu ve deneyimleri ile içsel dünyasına göndermede bulunduğu belirtilebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı sinemada kadın bakışı aracılığıyla anlam inşasının araçlarını araştırarak bu kavramın tanımına katkı sunmaktır. Bu amaçla, makalede Yeşim Ustaoğlu tarafından yönetilen ve kadın karakterlerin bakış açılarına, duygularına, deneyimlerine ve içsel dünyalarına odaklanan Tereddüt (Clair Obscur, 2016) filminde ortaya çıkan kadın bakışı bütünsel bir yaklaşıma sahip olan filmsel metin analizi ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Tereddüt filminde kadın karakterlerin öznellikleri farklı sinematografi, kurgu ve mizansen araçları ile öncelenir. Film, içeriğindeki tematik anlatının rahatsız edici özelliği ile ana akım sinema kodlarından farklılaşır. Sonuç olarak sinemada kadın bakışı aracılığıyla anlam inşasına dair bir tanımlamadan söz edilebilir.

An analysis of the meaning constructed by woman gaze through cinematic instruments in Yeşim Ustaoğlu’s film Clair Obscur (2016)
Öz
Although the woman gaze concept in cinema has not yet been clearly defined in the academic literature, it refers to the gaze, perspective, voice, subjectivity, experiences, and inner world of the woman director and the woman character. The aim of this study is to contribute to the definition of this concept by investigating the tools through which meaning is constructed via the woman gaze in cinema. To this end, the film Clair Obscur (Tereddüt, 2016), directed by Yeşim Ustaoğlu, which focuses on the viewpoints, and experiences of women characters, is examined through textual film analysis with a holistic approach. According to the findings, in Clair Obscur, the subjectivities of women characters are prioritized through different cinematographic, editing, and mise-en-scène tools. The film distinguishes itself from mainstream cinema codes with its disturbing thematic narrative. Consequently a definition for the construction of meaning through the woman gaze in cinema can be mentioned.
