Micro Representations of Political Power in the Film “You Know Him”: A Critical Film Analysis on the Relationship Between Social Corruption, Visibility, and Masculinity

Öz

Within the scope of this study, Ercan Kesal’s film You Know Him (Nasipse Adayız, 2020) is analyzed through a critical approach in relation to the micro-representational systems of political structures, the dynamics of social decay and corruption, the desire for visibility among political actors, and the construction of masculinity on the basis of gender. Within the framework of the research, Foucault’s terminology of micro and macro power and Bourdieu’s concept of symbolized power constitute the main analytical headings and direction of the study. In this regard, interpretive hermeneutic analysis is adopted, and the multilayered structures of meaning in the film are examined in connection with their historical and cultural contexts. As a result of the analysis, it is determined that You Know Him explores, in the philosophical trajectory of Bourdieu and Foucault, not only the institutional foundations of political power but also the nuances embedded in everyday life, the symbolic language and discourses grounded in these nuances, and the relationship between masculinity and the body that enables this structure to function. While examining how the production of power in Turkey is constructed through the blocks of body, language, and space, the study offers a critical perspective on the relationship between the establishment of power and masculinity within the realm of political appearances in Turkey.
