Manipülasyon: Jan Švankmajer’in Animasyon Tekniği ve Medeniyet Üzerine Eleştirisi

Year 2022, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 83 - 89, 30.06.2022

Abstract

“Manipülasyon”, ilham veren Çek sürrealist sinemacı Jan Švankmajer’in filmlerinde yer alan önemli bir kavramdır. İnsanları her türlü kısıtlamadan kurtarmayı hedefleyen sürrealist sanatçı, onların her türlü toplumsal manipülasyona direnmesi gerektiğini ısrarla vurgular. Manipülasyonu ısrarla teşhir etmesi, gizleme geleneğine karşı bir protesto olarak görülebilir. Bununla birlikte, manipülasyon fikri onun filmlerinde daha belirsiz anlamlara sahiptir. Aynı teknikleri insanlara kimliklerini bozmak için uygularken, stop motion animasyon gibi özenli manipülasyonlarla cansız objelere hayat verir. Sonuç olarak, hem insanlar hem de objeler kukla olarak temsil edilir: insanlar yarı-objeler olarak ve objeler yarı-otonom şeyler olarak. Bu hibrit kuklalar, özgürlük ve kısıtlılık arasındaki gerilimde daima insanın çelişkili doğasını ortaya koyar.

Manipulation: Jan Švankmajer ́s Animation Technique and Criticism on Civilization

Year 2022, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 83 - 89, 30.06.2022

Abstract

“Manipulation” is an important concept in the films of Jan Švankmajer, an influential Czech surrealist filmmaker. As a surrealist artist who aims for the liberation of humans from any kind of restraint, he insists that people should resist all kinds of societal manipulations. His insistent exposure of manipulation can be seen as a protest against its concealment as a convention. However, the idea of manipulation has more ambiguous meanings in his films. Švankmajer brings inorganic objects to life through careful manipulations, such as stop-motion animation, while applying the same techniques to humans to disrupt their identities. Consequently, both humans and objects are represented as puppets: humans as quasi-objects and objects as quasi-autonomous things. These hybrid puppets expose the contradicting nature of human beings, perpetually in the tension between freedom and restraint.
