Representations of Turkish Immigrants in Turkish-German Cinema
ISBN-13: 9783639174168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 80 str.
Since their arrival into Germany in the 1960s, Turkish immigrants have always drawn the attention of filmmakers. The German immigrant cinema of the 1970s and 1980s focused on the harsh living and working conditions of these immigrants; however, it very often depicted immigrants in one-dimensional roles. Since the mid-1990s, however, there has been a change in the portrayals of Turkish immigrants in a new wave of films made by young German-Turkish filmmakers challenging cultural stereotypes about Turks. This book examines one film from the earlier phase of migrant cinema - Tevfik Baser's 40 Square Meters of Germany (1986) and one film from the most recent phase - Fatih Akin's Head-On (2004) and aims to demonstrate how Turkish immigrants are represented in these films and whether the cinematic representations of the Turkish immigrants have changed over the years.
