Simülasyon Evrenine Özgü Sinema
Cinema-Specific Simulation Universe

Summary/Abstract: In Today’s world, many areas, from communication and information technologies to interhuman communication, from politics to economy, from literary to plastic arts, from painting to cinema, underwent radical changes. As a result of this change, the symbolical modes of relationships in real life differentiated and a new universe also known as simulation universe came up where ‘old’ views created by consumption ideology lost their meanings and continue their existence. As a result of this change, the symbolical modes of relationships in real life differentiated and a new universe came up where ‘old’ views created by consumption ideology lost their meanings and continue their existence. And many notions belong to the areas like politics, economy, sociology and art, which are used for clarifying today’s world, ‘lost’ their former meanings; however, view gained excessive importance as a way to conceal this loss. Consumption ideology is a very favorable ideology for creating the perception that the meanings were somewhere over there, although things do not bear any meanings attributed to them. The Illusion, created by ongoing productive works in society, free consumption and making choice among thousands of cookie-cutter products, is an efficient way of concealing that the reality universe was at an end. We cannot think that the movies, which have strong relations with society, did not be affected by such a change. İf we are able to describe simulation universe as an eviscerated universe of views, it is an obligation to ask whether the images created by movies still have a meaning or not. Can cinema still continue to tell story in the Simulation Universe? How much the stories told have response in communal living? A study to be carried out on the relationship between cinema and Simulation Universe may give answers to this and suchlike many questions, as it is an art, where communal marks can be traced.
