Mythology of Popular Cinema

Author: Veysel Atayman, Tuncer Çetinkaya

This book covers four genres of popular cinema... Comedy, Western, Melodrama and Horror. Mythology of Popular Cinema is a product of long-term research, thinking, discussion and accumulation. Numerous written sources and films accompanied this process. It is clear that analyzing and re-reading the relationships of a world made up of images and indicators with the realities of life requires intellectual depth and analytical concerns. While this is a multi-plane, multi-disciplinary journey, it is also an effort that builds the historical ground that is always incomplete. It points out the questions that reveal, disrupt and give justice to the codes of the stories that people take in and the heroes they host. It offers critical windows. This study emerged from the field determined by the Frankfurt School Social Theory and Aesthetics. He progressed without being carried away by the wind of the postmodern. It has completed itself as a left-wing perspective that focuses on the tension between the commodity feature of cinema and the quality of the relationship it establishes with the subject.
