Richard Linklater’ın Uyuşuk Filmi ve Antik Yunan Perspektifinden Bir Kamusal Alan Çözümlemesi
Richard Linklater’s Slacker Film and a Public Space Analysis from Ancient Greek Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The ancient Greek society, especially the Athenians, had a philosophy of life that was exactly the opposite of modern Western civilization. The ideal life definition of the privileged class of the society, especially the aristocrats and philosophers, was closely related to freedom. Freedom was the most important commodity of the city state. Freedom enabled citizens to realize intellectual activities that would elevate the quality of both humanity and citizenship. For this reason, work activities related to production and economics, which restrict freedom, have been removed from public sphere at least as ‘ideal’ and main subject of daily life. ‘Ideal’ was the production of thought and philosophy. Festivals or administrative meetings, mostly held on the public arena, were activities that did this. Public spaces in the city state were seen as a goal for citizens to organically communicate with each other.
