New Cinema, New Media
This volume covers approaches concerning the relationship between innovation in cinema and the politics of filmmaking in new cinema practices in Turkey. The contributors focus on historiography, genres, mainstream and art cinema production, and transnational cinema, as well as changing narratives and identities. The new cinema movement in Turkey is here analysed from perspectives of new technologies, new production and distribution structures, the impact of film training, the televisual industry, new actors in commercial and art cinema, as well as the impact of the film festival circuit. Additionally, recurring themes of memory, trauma, and identity are dealt with from multidisciplinary angles.

Fandom, the Next Generation
This collection is the first to offer a close study of fan generations, which are defined not only by fans’ ages, but by their entry point into a canon or their personal politics. The contributors further the conversation about how generational fandom is influenced by and, in turn, influences technologies, industry practices, and social and political changes. As reboot culture continues, as franchises continue expanding over time, and as new technologies enable easier access to older media, Fandom, the Next Generation offers a necessary investigation into transgenerational fandoms and intergenerational fan relationships.

Ideology in Turkish Cinema
Mencutekin takes on the role of ideology in the history of Turkish cinema critically analyzing the values and ideas that have shaped the message and stories of Turkish movies. This study is based on the thesis that to truly explore the specific issues currently vexing Turkish cinema, one has to confront the aesthetic, technological, and ideological assumptions in the deeply nationalistic and secular approach to Turkish cinema and how they engage with the real social values of Turkish society. If one hopes to attain a cinema purified from all kinds of crisis, more democracy is required to create a cinema that is at peace with the past, present, and future of Turkish society.
İslamcılık
Türkiye’de (ve dünyada) İslâmcılık hiç olmadığı kadar çok tartışıldı, hâlen de tartışılmakta. Din siyaset ilişkisi başta olmak üzere, adalet, İslâmcıların talepleri, başörtüsü, din eğitimi, Kürt sorunu, Alevilik, kentleşme, kentsel dönüşüm, yoksulluk, Ortadoğu vb. konuları içeren son derece ciddi bir siyasal süreç yaşanmakta. Bu kitap, Cihan Aktaş’ın son on beş yılda İslâmcılık üzerine yaptığı okumaların sonucunda kaleme aldığı yazılardan oluşmakta.
Kadınlığım, Yazarlığım, Yurdum
Yirmi yılda öykülerin, romanların dışında ne çok yazı kaleme almışım! Kavga yazıları, barış yazıları, içe bakış yazıları... Edebiyat, seyahat düşünceleri... Yitirdiklerimizin ardında kalan boşluğun ve acının yazıları... Kadın olmakla yazar olmanın kesiştiği noktada duran, kadınlığını yazma yeteneğiyle birlikte keşfetmiş bir insanın, hep acılar çekmiş ve çektirmiş bir yurdun kaygılı yurttaşının, kadınların özgürlüğü ve laik toplum düzeni için mücadele etmiş bir insanın yazıları bunlar. Erendiz Atasü ilk kez yazarlığının yirminci yılında yayımlattığı bu kitabında, önce kendisine kadın, yazar ve yurttaş olarak eleştirel bakıyor; sonra yurduna ve içinde yer aldığı feminist harekete. Bugünlerin gelişini otuz yıl önceden görebilenlerin çırpınışlarına, kavrayışsızlığa çarpan uyarılarına tanıklık ediyor. Bu kitap, aynı zamanda hem bir yazarın kendi edebiyatını eleştirebilmesi bakımından hem de son on yılların sancılı sürecini kadınlar için belgelemesi açısından güncelliğini yitirmemiş bir yapıt.

The Republic of Love
At the heart of The Republic of Love are the voices of three musicians—queer nightclub star Zeki Müren, arabesk originator Orhan Gencebay, and pop diva Sezen Aksu—who collectively have dominated mass media in Turkey since the early 1950s. Their fame and ubiquity have made them national icons—but, Martin Stokes here contends, they do not represent the official version of Turkish identity propagated by anthems or flags; instead they evoke a much more intimate and ambivalent conception of Turkishness. Using these three singers as a lens, Stokes examines Turkey’s repressive politics and civil violence as well as its uncommonly vibrant public life in which music, art, literature, sports, and journalism have flourished. However, Stokes’s primary concern is how Müren, Gencebay, and Aksu’s music and careers can be understood in light of theories of cultural intimacy. In particular, he considers their contributions to the development of a Turkish concept of love, analyzing the ways these singers explore the private matters of intimacy, affection, and sentiment on the public stage.
