Reflections of space, supervision and dramaturgy on cinema in the interpretation of teachers' professional acts: Vurun Kahpeye (1973), Kuru Otlar Üstüne (2023), Öğretmenler Odası (2023)

In line with Erving Goffman's Dramaturgical Theory and the concepts within the scope of the theory, this research aims to examine the role-playing behaviors and spatial belonging of teachers in their working spaces by analyzing cinematic works. Due to the fact that space is not only a concept with a physical dimension and its living structure that affects and transforms social processes, it is important to investigate teachers' belonging to the space and their experiences in the space, the shaping of their social roles and the mediation of the space in this sense, and even to examine the teacher identity produced and exhibited in the space. The themes and codes created with the concepts in Goffman's "Presentation of the Self in Daily Life" are used to explain the performance of the teacher while performing his/her professional presentation, and the three selected movies provide the necessary data to carry out this analysis. In addition, the study aims to examine the effects and dimensions of control and supervision mechanisms on the teacher's life in the workplace, teachers' belonging to the workplace and their role-playing behaviors. At this point, Michel Foucault's discipline and control mechanisms are included in the research as a factor that can affect the teacher's belonging in the space in the roleplaying behavior and self-presentation in line with the dramaturgical approach.
