Komik Tekrar: Türkiye’de 2000 Sonrası Üretilen Komedi Filmlerinde Nostaljik Taşra Semptomu
Funny Repetition: Nostalgic Provincial Symptoms of Comedy Films Produced After 2000 in Turkey

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study to discuss the province appearences of the acclaimed comedy films -produced after 2000 in Turkey- like Vizontele (2001), Vizontele Tuuba (2004), Hükümet Kadın 1-2 (2013), Dedemin İnsanları (2011) and Düğün Dernek (2013) as a nostalgic symptom. These films, which start with the tragic voice-over of the male character in the shadow of a historical event such as a military coup, exchange and war operation, or in the background of social events such as funerals and weddings, suddenly turned into a structure that suppresses the historical experience with grotesque pastiche. In these comedies, the symptom is revealed within the suppression of the comic repetition and the tragic repetition of the historical event is put in to the service of comedy for the repression mechanism. This study aims at philosophical approach to the province discussion which includes potentialities regarding the innovative nature of repetition, rather than a province that are articulated to the dual structure of identity-building processes such as center-periphery, conservatism-secularism with a sociological approach. Therefore, our main focus will be on concepts such as prospective nostalgia, difference and repetition, symptom, based on thinkers such as Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Lacan, Zizek, Boym and Zupancic. The main conclusion we have achieved in the film, which we discuss with the critical discourse method, is that the province transforms into a metaphor that is independent of time and space in order to suppress historical traumas.
