| description | Memet Baydur’s play Kamyon, published in 1990, is about what happens while the occupants- the driver, his assistant, and two porters- of a transport truck traveling from Gaziantep to Istanbul wait together after the truck breaks down in the countryside. Similar to the author’s other plays, humor is a significant component of Kamyon, in which absurd situations are created using local idioms, jokes, and objects from inside the truck. While keeping the comedy aspect of the play at the forefront, Baydur critically deals with issues such as migration from villages to cities, working conditions of the working class, and consumer culture. In this study, the author’s critical position is interpreted through the concept of alienation and the transformations in the rhythm of daily life. The work conditions of the characters and the writer’s criticism of the consumption culture are explained through the concept of alienation, which is handled in a Marxist framework. In addition, based on the rhythmanalysis approach proposed by Lefebvre, the relationship between everyday life rhythms and alienation is emphasized. |
