“SUSUZ YAZ”DA MÜLKİYET, İKTİDAR MÜCADELESİ ve KADININ NESNELEŞTİRİLMESİ
OWNERSHIP, POWER STRUGGLE AND OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN IN “SUSUZ YAZ”

Summary/Abstract: Necati Cumalı’s work ‘Susuz Yaz’ focuses on the implications of social structural conflict which is arisen out of the issue of private ownership of water in village society. The work was turned into screenplay twice in 1963 and 1973. The first screenplay adaptation film was awarded the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1964 and was screened in the “classic films” section of the 61st Cannes Film Festival. In the movies as well as in the work, through the image of water, we can witness the alienation of mankind (self alienation) derived from the concept of ownership and property, leading to power struggle and creation of social conflict areas. It is observed that power struggle enlarges its areas, on thus social platform everything commodified herewith women is objectified and became object of power struggle area.
