PSYCHOANALYTIC VIEWS 19
From the Singular to the Plural: Psyche in the Individual, Group, and Society
Where the Sky of Our Childhood Go When We Grow Up?
ERCAN KESAL
This session will focus on Yenal Bilgici's two books ("Cebimdeki Ekmek Kırıntıları” (2022) and "İsim Şehir Film Roman" (2024)) that accompany the narration of the life story of writer, actor, director and screenwriter Ercan Kesal.
Ercan Kesal's life story, which began in Avanos, reaches the present day with his university days in Izmir, his years as a physician in Anatolia, his experience in France, his private hospital business in Istanbul, his meeting with Metin Erksan, his entry into cinema circles, and the diversification and enrichment of his artistic production, in these books, Ercan Kesal does not only tell an individual story, but also examines his family, the neighbourhood, town, regional culture, cities, various professional circles and society as intersecting circles. While Kesal deals with the interactions between the dynamics of his psyche and social dynamics, he also follows the projections of the political, social and cultural changes of the last fifty or sixty years of the country. The conversation will particularly focus on the consequences of this change, transformation and interaction that are evident in his psyche and in his artistic expressions
