society’s perception of Germany has been going through a significant
transformation. This is indisputably related with the crucial role Germany
played by not taking sides with Turkey in its long-lasting attempts to access
to the European Union. Through a critical analysis, this article explores how
Turkish cinematic narratives have accounted for the thorny Turkish-German
relations in the last two decades. The analyzed films, which are the
products of the dynamic and heterogeneous new cinema of Turkey, have
contributed to the knowledge produced about Germany, Germans and
Turkish-Germans in the media. Therefore, focusing on these cinematic texts
should reveal alternative modes of reading the enduring Turkish-German affair.
As the close textual analysis has revealed, the films in question refuse the presumed
label of “subaltern” for Turkey, and instead, provides a realistic and
multifaceted account of said relationship. |
