  • Banned Films, C/Overt Oppression: Practices of Film Censorship from Contemporary Turkey
    BANNED FILMS, C/OVERT OPPRESSION: PRACTICES OF FILM CENSORSHIP FROM CONTEMPORARY TURKEY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sonay Ban December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Damien Stankiewicz, Advisory Chair, Anthropology Heather Levi, Anthropology Wazhmah Osman, Media Studies and Production Bilge Yeşil, External Member, College of Staten Island, CUNY ABSTRACT This project explores how film censorship shapes film production and circulation at film festivals, public screenings, and theatrical releases since the early 2000s in Turkey. It argues that, over time, mechanisms of censorship under Erdoğan’s authoritarian regime became less centralized; practices of censorship became more dispersed and less and less “official;” and the various imposing actors and agencies have differed from those in previous decades. Though still consistent with longstanding state ideologies, reasons for censorship practices, now more than ever, must be complexly navigated and negotiated by producers and distributors of film, including festival organizers, art institutions, and filmmakers themselves, through self-censorship. Drawing on a number of in-depth case studies of films banned after 2000, this project analyzes these works within the political and social contexts surrounding their releases, as well as ethnographic data based on dozens of extensive semi-structured interviews with cultural producers over five years of fieldwork.

  • AFTER VIVA Phd Thesis
    The Representation of Turkish Immigration to Germany in German, Turkish German and Turkish Cinema Deniz Güne ş Yardımcı Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London 2017 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Deniz Güne ş Yardımcı, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Date: 26/05/2017 2 ABSTRACT Throughout the 20 th century, various migration movements have transformed not only European cultures and societies but also European cinema. Migration, identity politics and cultural encounters of various kinds have emerged as prominent themes in European cinemas. Filmmakers with a migratory background have played a pivotal role in bringing these themes to public attention. They have also introduced new aesthetic and narrative forms which have influenced well-established cinematic traditions, thereby creating a culturally hybrid diasporic and transnational cinema. This dissertation takes a comparative approach to the representation of Turkish migrants and the Turkish diaspora in Germany in German, Turkish German and Turkish cinema. While there is already a considerable amount of scholarly literature on the representation of Turkish guest-workers and Turkish diaspora culture in German cinema, a critical analysis of Turkish migration in Turkish cinema is still outstanding. My thesis seeks to address this gap by offering an important complementary vantage point that also includes Turkish cinema. By drawing on theories of cultural hybridity, I invoke a critical framework that has hitherto not been systematically applied to the corpus of films under investigation and that, therefore, has the capacity to yield original insights into the filmic construction of migrant and diasporic identities.
