About this book
This book offers a post-representational approach to a range of fiction and non-fiction films that deal with labour migration from Turkey to Germany. Engaging with materialist philosophies of process, it offers analyses of films by Thomas Arslan, Christian Petzold, Aysun Bademsoy, Seyhan Derin, Harun Farocki, Yüksel Yavuz and Feo Aladag. Shifting the focus from the longstanding concerns of integration, identity and cultural conflict, Gozde Naiboglu shows that these films offer new expressions of lived experience under late capitalism through themes of work, social reproduction, unemployment and insecure work, exhaustion and precarity, thereby calling for a rethinking of the established ideas of class, community and identity.
Reviews
“Gozde Naiboglu’s Post-Unification Turkish German Cinema: Work, Globalisation and Politics Beyond Representation is the book many of us have been waiting for. It breaths fresh air into a stalled discourse by connecting labour—the central concern of late twentieth-century migrants from Turkey to West Germany—to twenty-first century issues of global politics. Such an innovative approach produces exciting and dynamic scholarship on contemporary Turkish German cinema.” (Barbara Mennel, Associate Professor of German Studies and Cinema Studies, University of Florida, USA. Co-Editor of Turkish German Cinema for the New Millennium: Sites, Sounds, and Screens, 2012)
