    The ghosts of the millennium
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2006) Uca, Neslihan; Erdem, Tuna
    The aim of this paper is to analyze the representation and function of ghostsin four contemporary ghost films: Michael Night Shyamalan’s Sixth Sense(1999), David Koepp’s Stir of Echoes (1999) Robert Zemeckis’ What Lies Beneath (2000) and Alejandro Amenabar’s The Others (2001). Myemphasis is on the ways in which ghosts are represented in these four films. I believe these films bring new aspects to the ghost genre. It is striking that all these films were made between 1999-2001, during the transition periodto the new millennium. Throughout my thesis, I analyze the representationof ghosts in these films in relation to cultural and social factors of our time. I develop my argument from a psychoanalytic framework, using Freudian, Lacanian and Jungian concepts. Lacanian concept of symbolic order and hisdifferentiation between the Real and reality are especially significant. Above all, it is necessary to emphasize that this study is inspired by Zizek’sreadings.
