| Course Description | Turkey today is a nation of seventy three million people occupying a space on the globe that is squarely in the middle of East and West. The Turkish economy has been one of the world's top performers during the past five years and contemporary Turks are increasingly connected to their peers and the outside world. The result has been an explosion of creative energy in art, music and especially in Turkish film which is in the vanguard of the many societal debates, including the role of Islam, women's rights, economic and social justice, and the question of whether or not Turkey is of the East or the West, to name a few. This course will examine a series of Turkish films in an effort to explore the many issues and debates in Turkish society. It will aim to strip away the constructed artifice of the directors and examine the social and political debates that underlie these works. To do so the course will also involve a series of readings that will examine film and film criticism as well as those that will supply a contemporary and historical background of Turkey. |
