Anthology of Turkish Science Fiction Stories
Turkish science fiction dates back to the early years of the twentieth century and serious development has been seen ever since. The writers, who escaped from the darkness of the First World War and took refuge in utopian science fiction, added the excitement created by science and technology to their texts over time. Turkish writers, who followed the science fiction works from the West and made efforts for the development of this genre, produced very qualified works that could compete with their contemporaries at some points. However, due to some historical, social, and economic problems, it was not possible for these works to meet readers in the West. In this anthology, the works of Turkis...
Consciousness, Theatre, Literature and the Arts 2015
This book brings together essays based on papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Consciousness, Theatre, Literature and the Arts (CTLA), held from June 10 to 12, 2015, at St Francis College, Brooklyn Heights, New York. The conference was attended by seventy delegates from twenty countries across the world – the twenty-three essays collected here come from delegates from twelve of those countries. The range of contributions reflects the variety of material presented and discussed at the conference, across the fields of philosophy, literature, fine arts, music, dance, performance and theatre. The book, the sixth in the series, will appeal to the growing international community of researchers active and interested in the study of literature, theatre and the arts from a consciousness studies perspective.
How the World Remade Hollywood
For decades, filmmakers worldwide have been remaking Hollywood movies in colorful ways. They've chronicled a singing and dancing Hannibal Lecter in India, star-crossed lovers aboard the doomed Nigerian ship Titanic, a Japanese expedition to the planet of the apes, and an uncivil war in Turkey between Captain America and a mobbed-up Spider-Man. Most of these films were low budget and many were unauthorized, but all of them were fantastic--and lately have begun to resurface thanks to cherry-picked YouTube clips. But why and how were they made in the first place? This book tells the little-known stories of the wily filmmakers who made an Italian 007 flick by casting Sean Connery's tradesman brother, produced a Turkish space opera by stealing a print of Star Wars for its effects footage, and transported a full-fledged Terminator to the present day--not from a post-apocalyptic future, but from the vibrant mythology of Indonesia. Their stories reveal more than mere imitations; they demonstrate the fascinating ways ideas evolve as they cross borders.
Film, Philosophy and Religion
Hollywood is a $40 billion annual business, one that is highly influential in culture. If we want to know who we are as individuals and a society, what we believe and what we value, we need to know and understand Hollywood and film. Make no mistake, Hollywood is neither philosophically, politically, nor morally neutral! Many studies demonstrate how movies “affect” us long before we have thought it through. In other words, Hollywood “smuggles” all kinds of ideas into our minds and hearts without us even knowing it. While Hollywood may be the biggest and most influential in the world, this book will demonstrate the growing international influence of film from India (Bollywood), Nigeria...
Sheikhs Batmobile
What happens to our pop culture when it meets another culture head-on—especially one that according to some is completely at odds with our own? In The Sheikh's Batmobile, pop-cultural commentator Richard Poplak sets out on an unusual two-year odyssey. His mission is to see what becomes of his, and North America's, obsessions—pop songs and sitcoms, Hollywood movies and shoot-em-up video games, muscle cars and punk music—when they make their way into the Muslim world. Over the course of his journey, Poplak is body slammed by WWE fans in Afghanistan, hangs out with hip-hop artists in Palestine, head bangs to heavy metal in Cairo, discovers a world of extreme makeovers in Beirut, bowls with the chief of police in small-town Kazakhstan, and encounters a mysterious Texan building rocket-propelled batmobiles for a clientele of sheikhs. With uproarious humour and keen cultural insight, Poplak asks some vital questions: How is American pop culture consumed and reinterpreted in the Islamic world? What does that say about how we are viewed by young Muslims? And can Homer Simpson bridge the differences that are tearing our world apart?

TÜRK SİNEMASI’NDA FANTASTİĞİN DÖNÜŞÜMÜ: DELEUZEYEN BİR YAKLAŞIM
Türk Sineması’nda Fantastiğin Dönüşümü: Deleuzeyen Bir Yaklaşım başlıklı bu çalışmada Türk Sineması’nda fantastik türe dair Tzvetan Todorov’dan yola çıkılarak yeni bir tanım getirilmiş, bu tanım kapsamında bir filmler seçkisi oluşturularak fantastik ögelerin sinemanın dönemlerine göre değişip değişmediği araştırılmıştır. Seçilen filmlerde, Todorov’un fantastik anlatı için başat konuma yerleştirdiği kararsızlık anı’nın nasıl örüntülendirildiği Deleuzeyen kavramlar yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Filmler seçilirken Türk Sineması’nda fantastik türün dönüşümünü en iyi örneklendirilecek filmler özellikle tercih edilmiştir. Türk Sineması’nın dönemleri ise Türkiye’de yaşanan toplumsal ve siyasi önemli gelişmeler temel alınarak oluşturulmuştur. 1895-1923 yılları arası Türkiye’de türe yönelik bir film bulunmadığı için dönemler içinde gösterilmiş ancak bir dönem olarak çalışmada içeriğine dair bilgi sunulmamıştır.

Türkiye'de Çizgi Roman
Çizgi romanın sanatsal varlığı artık yüz yılı aşmış bir tarihe sahip. Çoğu Batı ülkesinde çizgi romanın sanat olarak kendine özgülüğü tartışılmıyor bile, ama ülkemizde bu sanat kolu ucuz, okunup atılan, “yoz” ürünlerin kaynağı, az okumanın göstergelerinden biri sayılıyor. Okullarda, evlerde çizgi roman okuyanların kulaklarının çekildiği, çizgi romanların yasak sayıldığı ve açıkça ayıplandığı bir çocukluğu hemen hepimiz az ya da çok yaşadık. Oysa çizgi roman,bütün sevimliliği ve kendine özgü mizahıyla hiç de saldırgan olmayan sayısız özellikler ve örnekler içeriyor. Bu haksız eleştirilere “hep”muhatap kalmı...
