Companion Encyclopedia of Middle Eastern and North African Film
The Companion Encyclopedia of Middle Eastern and North African Film is a unique, one volume work which illuminates a fascinating variety of cinema which is little known outside its own area. The Encyclopedia is divided into nine chapters, each written by a leading scholar in the field. Each chapter covers the history and major issues of film within that area, as well as providing bibliographies of the leading films, directors and actors. The areas covered are: Central Asia, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, The Magreb, Palestine, Turkey. This Encyclopedia will be an invaluable reference tool for students and scholars of Film and Media Studies. It contains more than 60 black and white photographs of featured films, includes references and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, and the volume concludes with comprehensive name, film and general indexes.
Doing Women's Film History
Research into and around women's participation in cinematic history has enjoyed dynamic growth over the past decade. A broadening of scope and interests encompasses not only different kinds of filmmaking--mainstream fiction, experimental, and documentary--but also practices--publicity, journalism, distribution and exhibition--seldom explored in the past. Cutting-edge and inclusive, Doing Women's Film History ventures into topics in the United States and Europe while also moving beyond to explore the influence of women on the cinemas of India, Chile, Turkey, Russia, and Australia. Contributors grapple with historiographic questions that cover film history from the pioneering era to the presen...
Ali und Ramazan
Ali und Ramazan wachsen zusammen in einem Waisenhaus in Istanbul auf. Aus der spontanen Zuneigung entwickelt sich eine Liebe ebenso zärtlich wie grausam. Als sie mit 18 Jahren in eine ungewisse Zukunft entlassen werden, gibt ihnen nur diese Liebe Kraft. Doch der Traum vom Glück zu zweit währt nicht lang. Ramazan, der für beider Unterhalt sorgt, gleitet ab in die Welt der Stricher, während Ali seine Eifersucht mit Drogen und dem Schnüffeln von Lösungsmitteln betäubt. Eine Katastrophe bahnt sich an ... Der neue Roman der türkischen Bestseller-Autorin: eine dramatische schwule Liebesgeschichte aus dem modernen Istanbul, beruhend auf einer wahren Begebenheit. Erschütternd, ergreifend und packend.
Kultur als Ereignis
Fatih Akins Film »Auf der anderen Seite« erzählt die Geschichte von sechs Figuren, deren kultureller und nationaler Hintergrund sich vom Deutsch-Türkischen über das Türkisch-Türkische bis zum Deutsch-Deutschen erstreckt. Trotz dieser biographisch bedingten Disposition, die Migration, Familie, Nation und Kultur bündelt, geht es in Akins Film weder um einen Kulturdialog noch um einen Kulturkonflikt. Kultur wird hier vielmehr von einer Unbestimmtheit getragen, die moderne und vormoderne Vorstellungen von Kultur in Relation setzt und sie dadurch zum Ereignis macht. An die Stelle der bestimmten Kultur tritt ein Möglichkeitsraum, der Nation, Kultur, Lokalität und Globalität in neue Verhältnisse setzt. Diesem Raum widmen sich die Beiträge des Bandes aus der Film-, Literaturwissenschaft, der Soziologie, der Filmkritik und der Literatur.
Türkân Şoray ile yüz yüze
Memories of a famous Turkish film star.
El novelista ingenuo y el sentimental
En 2009, el Premio Nobel de Literatura Orhan Pamuk estuvo a cargo del seminario Charles Eliot Norton en la Universidad de Harvard. Este libro reúne las seis conferencias que escribió para tal ocasión. ¿Qué pasa en nuestro interior cuando leemos una novela? ¿Cómo puede una novela crear ese efecto único, tan distinto del producido por la pintura, el cine o la poesía? En este libro inspirador y sumamente personal, Pamuk nos lleva de la mano a los mundos del escritor y del lector, poniendo de manifiesto las íntimas conexiones entre ambos. Pamuk recurre a la famosa distinción de Friedrich Schiller entre poetas «ingenuos» (los que escriben con espontaneidad, serenidad y naturalidad) y...
Turkish Nomad
Here, Jayne L. Warner has created a unique biographical tapestry that illuminates not only the life of one of Turkey's leading literary and cultural authorities, but also the emergence of a republic in his native country, and sheds new light on the history of one of the world's great cities. Sumptuously illustrated throughout with evocative period pictures of Istanbul, Turkish Nomad tells the extraordinary life story of this poet, thinker, and diplomat. As a young boy, Halman surveyed the last vestiges of the Ottoman Empire, walked through the ruins of Byzantium, and grew up in the modern nation created by the charismatic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Talat S. Halman would go on to serve the republ...
LGBT Transnational Identity and the Media
Offering a critical introduction into LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) transnational identity in the media, this book examines performances and representations within documentary and fiction oriented texts. An interdisciplinary approach is put forward, revealing new potentials for non western queer identity.
Cinema in Muslim Societies
This book collates a comprehensive range of fascinating essays by leading authors on film from across the Muslim world. Responding to political and theoretical misconceptions about Islam and Muslim culture, it covers North African, Arab and Asian cinemas in a rich series of industry histories, single film studies and detailed analyses of celebrated directors. Cinema in Muslim Societies is innovative and timely in its explicit engagement with vexing questions of Islamic aesthetics, political activism, socialism and the role of women in Muslim contexts. The authors explore a wide variety of topics, from cinematic art and poetry to religious identity and pornography. Debated extensively at a programme of public talks and screenings at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2011, this volume remains supremely relevant in a world of polarising identities and political violence engulfing Muslim societies and the West. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third Text.
