Abstract

This book explores how politics, religion and cinema encounter and re-invent each other in contemporary Turkish cinema. It investigates their common origin-the spectacle, which each field views as an instrument of governmentality. The book analyses six recent, some of which are internationally known Turkish films: The Messenger (Ulak), A Man's Fear of God (Takva), Let's Sin (Itirazim Var), SixtyOne Days (Iftarlik Gazoz), The Imam and The Shadowless (Goelgesizler). Thwaites discusses how the cinematic nature of politics and religion unfold amidst the increasing media visibility of religion in contemporary Turkey. The chapters explore the relationship between art and religion, and compare religion and philosophy in their relation to truth, belief, and economy. Through close examination of these films, the author highlights the role of cinema in contemporary Turkey and at the heart of the religious paradigm.

Abstract

In the last five years of the twentieth century, films by the second and third generation of the so-called German guest workers exploded onto the German film landscape. Self-confident, articulate, and dynamic, these films situate themselves in the global exchange of cinematic images, citing and rewriting American gangster narratives, Kung Fu action films, and paralleling other emergent European minority cinemas. This, the first book-length study on the topic, will function as an introduction to this emergent and growing cinema and offer a survey of important films and directors of the last tw

Abstract

This book examines post-Unification Turkish German cinema with a focus on ethics, affectivity and labour. Shifting the focus from the longstanding concerns of integration, identity and cultural conflict, the author argues that these films no longer emphasise the conflicts between migrants and citizens. By offering new expressions of lived experience under late capitalism through themes of work, unemployment, insecurity and illegal work, social reproduction, exhaustion and precarity, the films call for a rethinking of the established ideas of class, community and identity.  As the first English-language monograph to focus on Turkish German Cinema, the book offers analyses of films by Thomas Arslan, Christian Petzold, Aysun Bademsoy, Seyhan Derin, Harun Farocki, Yüksel Yavuz and Feo Aladag. By calling into question the limitation of identity-oriented approaches to migrant filmmaking, Naiboglu offers a post-representational approach to a range of works including features films, documentaries and video that deal with labour migration from Turkey to Germany.
