Abstract

Cinema functions as a rich data store for researchers in understanding and interpreting unique characteristic components of a society such as language, culture, tradition, religion, etc. The subject of this study is to question the realities of a multicultural social life with reference to PK movie. There is a set of problems such as what the basic motivations of religious groups are, whether a person could be independent of cultural/environmental factors, and how the theological and sociological perceptions of religion differentiate, etc. The aim of this paper is to trace the steps of the construction of social and religious reality experienced by an alien’s own consciousness. This study combines sociology of religion with cinema through a phenomenological approach. Everyday realities perceived through an alien by suspending stocks of knowledge (externalization) enable us to apply the phenomenological approach to the study. As a result, this alien tends toward the society as a stranger and contributes to criticize it objectively.

Dinleri Paranteze Almak: PK Filmi Bağlamında Dinlerin Teolojik Kaynağı ve Sosyal İnşasının Fenomenolojik Bir Analizi

Abstract

Sinema, bir toplumun dil, kültür, gelenek, din vb. gibi benzersiz karakteristik bileşenlerini anlamada ve yorumlamada araştırmacılar için zengin bir veri deposu işlevi görür. Bu çalışmanın konusu, PK örneğinden yola çıkarak çok kültürlü bir sosyal yaşamın gerçeklerini sorgulamaktır. Çalışmada dini grupların temel motivasyonlarının neler olduğu, kişinin çevresel faktörlerden bağımsız olup olamayacağı, teolojik ve sosyolojik din algılarının nasıl farklılaştığı gibi bir dizi problem ele alınmaktadır. Makalenin amacı uzaylı bir karakterin bilinci ile tecrübe edilen toplumsal ve dini gerçekliğin inşasının adım adım izlenmesidir. Çalışma, din sosyolojisi ile sinema disiplinlerini fenomenolojik yaklaşım kullanmak suretiyle bir araya getirmektedir. Bilgi stoklarını askıya alarak (dışsallaştırma) bir uzaylı aracılığıyla algılanan gündelik gerçekler, çalışmaya fenomenolojik yaklaşımı uygulamamızı sağlamaktadır. Sonuç olarak ise, uzaylı karakter bir yabancı olarak topluma yönelir ve onu objektif bir şekilde eleştirmeye katkıda bulunur.
