Evolution of the ethical - ideological idealization in Turkish playwriting

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the values idealized by Turkish playwriting, social structure and individual design; is to examine their transformations with the changing social and political structure. For this purpose, the moral and ideological understanding and expectations of Turkish playwrights in principles such as good, bad, happiness, freedom, virtue, right, justice and truth were examined. In the plays, answers were sought for questions such as whether two values of equal strength could ensure conflict, whether they had a consistent ethical understanding, and whether they had the ideal designs that heroes could be pursuing. Thus, it is aimed that the study will form an intellectual discussion on issues such as the relationship between theater art and society and the discursive plane of the play texts. The scope of the study is limited to the written texts of the Turkish theater. Qualitative research method was used in the study. This method was used in the analysis of plays. Therefore, the questions to be answered are questions such as why the topic was chosen, its relationship with the social and political environment of the period, how the game hero's judgments and actions were formed, how they were influenced by the environment, and the similarities and differences between the plays. In the first part of the study, ethical - ideological idealization in Turkish playwriting, which developed with the declaration of the Republic, was examined in its development until 1980. Similarities and differences in ideal society and individual designs were determined, and formal and contextual richness in playwriting were investigated. In the second part, the process after the September 12 coup, which caused great change and transformation in the field of theater, as in all areas of the society, is examined. The evolution of ethical ideological idealization in the playwright of the post-2000 era is also discussed in this section. To examine the Turkish playwriting from an ethical-ideological building perspective is to examine the transformation of the theater from an ideological device made and spread directly by the state to the platform of the search for a new world.
