“…The perspective we have adopted is one of existentialist morality," (Beauvoir, 2010, p. 37). The perspective of existentialist values how one is supposed to define one"s own meaning through the freedom that is not translated into acting rationally, but rather existentially, through choice and transcendence (Crowell, 2015).…”

“…As Beauvoir (2010) asserts, "Every subject posits itself as a transcendence concretely, through projects; it accomplishes its freedom only by perpetual surpassing toward other freedoms; there is no other justification for present existence than its expansion toward an indefinitely open future" (p. 37). The primary value amid existentialists that is discussed by her is for one to achieve the state of transcendence (Crowell, 2015). Transcendence is the freedom to project one"s future without being affected by the dependency on others.…”

Although there have been more Hollywood movies having their stories centered on female characters, their representation in Hollywood cinema is still problematic as most of these female characters do not become subjects in their own stories. They often internalize the notion of women as the Other. According to Beauvoir (2010), since women are deemed to be the Other, they become inessential part of the society. In the movie Blue Jasmine (2013), Jasmine has no power to design and lead her future as she subjugates herself to men. Then when she tries to free herself from this situation, she experiences oppression that comes from a male higher-up. Using textual analysis to analyze this character, this paper found that what she experiences represents women‟s everyday struggles in the society which resembles Beauvoir‟s concept of immanence and transcendence. Jasmine initially is stuck in immanence, when she depends on men, letting them have power over her. When she wants to take control over her own life, getting her independence, through education, she can achieve transcendence. However, this does not happen, and she falls back into the immanence instead because her environment makes it impossible for a woman to transcend. Moreover, this failure leads to her tragic ending which conveys a message that in the society women are bound to immanence.

“…45 Varoluşçuluktaki temel yaklaşımda insanı merkeze alan ve sıklıkla üzerinde durulan temalar ise; ölüm, korku, kaygı, can sıkıntısı, yabancılaşma, saçma, özgürlük, değer, bağlılık, aşkınlık ve hiçliktir. 46 Varoluşçulukta daha çok tanrı tanımaz bir ekolün hâkimiyeti var gibi görünse de Kierkegaard, Jaspers ve Marcel gibi tanrıbilir varoluşçu düşünürlerin fikirlerinin de oldukça yaygın olduğu bilinmektedir. Tanrı düşüncesinin olmadığı bir dünyada anlam da yoktur; anlamı insan kendi oluşturur.…”

“…Therefore, he does not "confess" people's religious or even social ethics. 13 Similarly, Steven Crowell (2010) focuses on the importance of the collective entity in society, yet he fuses society with religion. Crowell claims that the individual relationship with other people implies a sense of angst.…”

This paper explores the insights that philosophy can bring to administrative and bureaucratic critique, focusing on the work of Nikolai Gogol's "The Nose". It examines the ways in which Gogol's "The Nose" represents the concept of angst in order to satirize the Russian social and religious status. This paper reads "The Nose" as a text very much of its time. It moves into fantastic themes and is a project involving recovering social histories, thus becoming a key example of the productive coalescence of society and religion amidst early nineteenth-century concerns. Gogol's satire of society presages many subsequent social religious analyses, presenting a severe indictment of society as a rigid and impersonal state machine resulting in meaninglessness, absurdity and tragedy. It encompasses the institutional level and fundamental ruptures in society caused by a surfeit of religion, as depicted in "The Nose". On a more philosophical level, "The Nose" explores the effects of society on the individual, portraying the alienation, futile activity and servility inflicted on lower-level functionaries through various problems, such as the loss of identity, the absence of meaningful existence and a lack of integration between public and private lives.
