Abstract

Bu çalışmada Sigmund Freud’un biyografisinden (1856-1939) uyarlanan Netflix orijinal dizisi Freud
(Marvin Kren, 2020 – ), kaynak metne sadakate dayalı geleneksel uyarlama anlayışına göre analiz
edilmiştir. Freud, Sigmund Freud’un kariyerinin ilk yıllarını anlatan, suç, gerilim ve gizem türünde,
Avusturya-Almanya ortak yapımı sekiz bölümlük bir dizidir. Dizinin hikâyesi, Freud’un psikanalitik
teorisi ile bağlantılı olarak inşa edilmiştir. Uyarlama yaklaşımlarında bir metin, dizi ya da film gibi
görsel bir anlatıya dönüştürülürken orijinaline sadık kalabilir veya metinlerarası bir perspektifle ele alınabilir. Çalışmanın örneklemi olan popüler dizi Freud’un psikanalitik teorinin özüne sadık bir
şekilde uyarlanması, çalışmada özcü yaklaşımların kullanılmasında etkili olmuştur. Dizinin ilk sezonu,
Freud’un çalışmalarının gelişim dönemi üzerinde dursa da inceleme kısmında Freud’un teorilerinden
bütüncül olarak yararlanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda Freud’un kuramı sanatsal bir esere çevrilirken,
biyografisine gizem ve suç olayları eklenmesine rağmen, kaynak metin ve Freud dizisi arasında
hiyerarşiye sadık kalındığı bulgulanmıştır. Böylelikle yeni medya platformlarında yayınlanan bir dizi
psikanalitik kuramla bağlantılandırılarak alanyazına farklı disiplinleri birleştiren bir değerlendirme
kazandırılmıştır.

Transposition from Freud to Freud: The Adaptation of Psychoanalytic Theory into a Netflix Series

Year 2021, Issue: 37, 274 - 292, 30.06.2021

Abstract

In this study, Netflix’s original series Freud (Marvin Kren, 2020 – ), adapted from Sigmund Freud’s
biography (1856-1939) was analyzed according to traditional adaptation understanding based on the
loyalty to the source text. Freud is an eight-part Austrian-German series in the crime, thriller, mystery
genre covering the early professional years of Freud. The story of the series is created in connection
with Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. In adaptation, a text can remain faithful during its conversion into
a visual narrative such as a series or a film, or it can be approached through an intertextual perspective.
Since Freud was faithfully adapted following psychoanalytical theory, this study preferred essentialist
approaches in engaging the subject. Even though the first season of the series narrates the development
period of Freud’s work, psychoanalytic theory is handled holistically in the analysis part of the study. As
a result of the analysis, it was observed that although mystery and crime events were added to Freud’s
biography, the hierarchy was preserved between the source text and Freud series. Hence, this study aims
to contribute to the existing literature by engaging in a psychoanalytical analysis of an online series in
an interdisciplinary way.
