The representation of fathers in media has been a topic of interest in recent years, with many studies exploring the impact of paternal portrayals on audience perceptions of masculinity and family dynamics. However, little attention has been paid to the Turkish media landscape, particularly in the context of dubbed media. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing the representation of fatherhood in the Turkish dubbed series "A Father Unleashed" (Turkish title: "Bir Baba"), with a focus on its portrayal of paternal characters and the cultural implications of these representations. Using a critical discourse analysis approach, this study examines the ways in which the show's Turkish dubbing influences and reflects societal attitudes towards fatherhood, masculinity, and family values.
This study draws on theoretical frameworks from media studies, sociology, and cultural studies to analyze the representation of fatherhood in "A Father Unleashed Türkçe Altyazılı." The concept of hegemonic masculinity (Connell, 2005) will be used to examine the ways in which the show's portrayal of paternal characters reinforces or challenges traditional notions of masculinity. Additionally, the cultural context of Turkey will be taken into account, with reference to the country's social and cultural norms around family and fatherhood (Kılıç, 2011). a father unleashed turkce altyazili work
