Abstract (2. Language):
After the first release of the film Issiz Adam, people argued about a type of a man identified as lonely
or isolated. These arguments and discourses mostly focused on relationships of man and woman in daily life held
a large place in social agenda. Today, we see that gender politics bring us fast changes; especially they become
important sources of having new life styles with the effects of popular films and series. By the way, it is
interesting that the film Issiz Adam is chosen for the Altin Bamya Awards by Film Mor in order to show how this
film is expressing sexism. Giving Issiz Adam a reward in such an ironic way and purposing to announce the films
produced with patriarchal codes, forces us to analyze this film with a view far from a category of love films. Is
this film has a sexist discourse as qualified by some people? 'Being isolated' or 'lonely'... Is it a communication
code of patriarchal culture or a code of communication gap? Through these questioning; What is the meaning of
being isolated as a notion? What is the use of focusing on this notion as a feature of a man instead of showing a
property of sacred or desert places? And we have to ask one more question; Is the film text has a content required
questioning in this way by the audience and reviewers? This research trying to answer all these questions, focuses
on the notion, intention of text, as Umberto Eco figures out in his semiological studies. And we purpose to investigate the meaninngs of being isolated by the help of physcoanalytical film method. So the object of this study is the film text and the method is physcoanalysis. As a result, this film has made it possible to interpret the social codes in relationships of man and woman again. So it is unnecessary for us to blame the film as a "sexist"
text.

Abstract (Original Language):
Issiz Adam filminin gosteriminden sonra "issiz" olarak tanimlanan ya da tanimlanmak istenen bir
erkek tipinin varligi uzerine soylemler uretilmi§tir. Bu soylemler gundelik ya§am ifinde erkek-kadin ili§kilerinin
on plana fiktigi iletisim ortamlarinda siradan insanin gundemine girmi§tir. Gunumuzde, cinsiyet politikalarinin
hizli degi§imler gefirdigini ozellikle film ve dizilerle toplumda yeni ya§am bifimlerine kaynaklik ettigini
goruyoruz. Nitekim Film Mor tarafindan duzenlenen, erkek egemen baki§ afisiyla fekilen cinsiyetfi filmleri
te§hir etmek uzere yola fikan Altin Bamya Odulleri'nden birinin "Issiz Adam" filmine layik gorulmesi; bu filmin
a§k filmi olmanin otesinde nasil bir metin oldugunun incelenmesini cazip hale getirmektedir. Kimi baki§ afilarina
gore "cinsiyetfi" olarak nitelenen bu film gerfekte oyle midir? Issizlik, erkek egemen kulturun bir iletisim ya da
ileti§imsizlik kodu mudur? Bu baglamda issizlik kavraminin bir uzam yerine bir insani dahasi belirli ozellikleri
olan bir erkegi nitelemesi neyi ifade eder? Film metninin kendisi, toplumda uyandirdigi bu etkileri kar§ilayacak
bir soylemi uretmi§ midir? Soz konusu sorulari yanitlamaya odaklanan bu fali§ma, Umberto Eco'nun "metnin
niyeti" olarak sozunu ettigi kavram uzerinden giderek issizligin psikanalitik afilimlarini ortaya koymayi
amaflamaktadir. Bu baglamda fali§mamn inceleme nesnesi film metnidir, yontemi ise psikanalizdir. Ara§tirmanm
bulgularina gore; "Issiz Adam" filmi kadin-erkek ili§kilerini duzenleyen toplumsal kodlarin yeniden
yorumlanmasini olanakli kilmi§tir. Dolayisiyla filmi "cinsiyetfi" olarak nitelendirmek uygun degildir.
