Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16The Talking Witness Documentary: Remembrance and the Politics of Truth(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Spence, Louise; Avci, Asli KotamanThis article argues that the conventional talking witness documentary by relying on memory of experience as evidence employs an inherently conservative politics of truth. Using a recent Kurdish video 5 No.lu Cezaevi/Prison No. 5 (Cayan Demirel 2009) as a case study it considers the opportunities and limitations of the talking witness form as well as its appeals. The essay pays special attention to the documentary's use of mimetic' affective engagement to break into the moral and conceptual space of trauma and the harrowing experiences of men and women who were incarcerated in the notorious Diyarbakr prison in eastern Turkey in the aftermath of the 1980 Turkish coup d'etat thus endeavoring to at once fix and disseminate memories of a violent past that run counter to state-authored versions of that history.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Accented Essays: Documentary as Artistic Practice in Contemporary Audiovisual Works From Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2019) Akçalı Kuyucu, ElifThis article looks at the use of documentary filmmaking in contemporary artistic practices in Turkey, specifically focusing on three works that adopt a first-person, subjective viewpoint: Didem Pekun's Of Dice and Men (2016), Sener ozmen's How to Tell of Peace to a Living Dove? (2015), and Aykan Safoglu's Off-White Tulips (2013). Made by artists in transition, these films tackle themes of belonging and identity through stylistic choices proper to essayistic filmmaking, which allow these works to be regarded as accented essays. The personal questions raised through the aesthetics they employ become relevant to collective issues of culture, history, and memory, offering an alternative understanding of the social context, which was largely affected by the political events during the period in which they were made.Book Part Kim Seyreder, Kim Bilir: Gölge Oyunu Filminde Seyir Anlatı İlişkisi(Bağlam Yayıncılık, 2007)Book Part Citation - WoS: 2Turkish Academics in Europe an Autumn Tale(Springer, 2006) Bayraktar, Gülümser Deniz[Abstract Not Available]Book Review Documentary Film: a Very Short Introduction(CINEASTE, 2008) Behlil, Melis; Spence, Louise[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Türk Sinemasında Panayır, Sirk, Tiyatro(Bağlam Yayıncılık, 2018) bayraktarArticle Citation - WoS: 21Rap Hiphop Kreuzberg: Scripts Of/For Migrant Youth Culture in the Worldcity Berlin(Telos Press Ltd, 2004) Soysal, Levent[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 1Selections From the Fight for National Cinema(Univ Texas Press, 2016) Behlil, Melis; Cengiz, Esin Paça[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Kim Bu Vasfiye?: Bir Temsiliyet Krizi Olarak Adı Vasfiye Filmi(Bağlam Yayınları, 2016) defne tüzünArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5"life Is a State of Mind' - on Fiction, Society and Trump(Routledge Journals, 2017) Diken, Bülent; Laustsen, Carsten BaggeThe article undertakes an allegorical double reading of Being There and Trump as instances of what we call socio-fiction. Crucially in this respect, reality and fiction are not two opposed realms. The two realms always interact in subtle ways, which is why cinema can be a resource for diagnostic social analysis. We first articulate a general commentary on the relationship between cinema and society, introducing the concept of socio-fiction'. Secondly, we analyse Peter Sellers' Being There, an interesting film focused on the relationship between reality and fiction. In this analysis, we elaborate on different ways of approaching fiction in a sociological prism. And finally, we discuss Trump as a fallout effect of Being There. After all, a film is not just an image of a reality, a shadow or appearance of a social fact; sometimes the reality itself seems to have become an appearance of an appearance, a shadow of a shadow.Book Part Citation - WoS: 2The Migration Story of Turks in Germany: From the Beginning To the End(Cambrıdge Univ Press, 2008) Soysal, Levent[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 2The Collector's World(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2020) Diken, Bülent; Laustsen, Carsten BaggeThe article discusses the figure of the collector. We start with positioning the collector in relation to a lack, emphasizing that collecting is not about aesthetic beauty, pleasure or even perfectness, but primarily about filling a gap. The collection itself is merely a by-product of the desire to collect. Discussing how this desire is socially mediated, we move on to contextualizing the collector in relation to the distinction between the useful and the useless. We stress, in this context, that collecting is an inoperative praxis. This is followed by a discussion of the collector's psychopathology in terms of affects and interpassivity. Finally, we turn to the history of the collector and to collecting as a field in sociological terms, and end with articulating a typology of the collector.Book Review Editorial Citation - WoS: 7The Act of Killing an Interview With Joshua Oppenheimer(CINEASTE, 2013) Behlil, Melis; Oppenheimer, Joshua[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Yeşilçam’dan Yazmak: Orhan Aksoy Filmleri ve Kerime Nadir Romanları(Bağlam Yayınları, 2006)Article Zihinsel Koleksiyonlar: Yeşilçam'dan Beyazcama(Mehtap Yüksel, 2009) Kotaman, AslıWalter Benjamin, eşya koleksiyonculuğu yapan kişiler hakkında yazmış ve hayatından mutlu olmayan insanların eski objeleri toplayarak kendilerine alternatif bir yaşam kurduklarını ve bu yolla adeta geçmişi çağırdıklarını söylemiştir. Bu insanlar geçmişten topladıkları eşyaları bugünkü hayatlarına iliştirirler. Zihnimizde geçmişe dair bir izleği sürersek anıların bize bazen bir koku, bazen Proust’un madleni gibi bir tat ve çoğu zamansa görsel imgeler halinde gelmekte olduğunu görürüz. Bir şeyi gördüğünüzden yıllar sonra onu tekrar gördüğünüzde aslında onun zihninizde bıraktığı parçaları bütünlemektesinizdir. Yerli dramaların Yeşilçam’ın “altın yılları”ndaki melodram filmlerini hatırlatmaları da bu yüzdendir. Yeşilçam filmleri ile bugünün yerli dramalarının metinleri arasında bir bağ bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle de yerli dramalar bugüne ait oldukları kadar geçmişe de aittirler. Anlatı ve estetik birliğinin ötesinde bir kültürel deneyim olarak incelediğimizde yerli dramalar ile Yeşilçam filmleri arasındaki benzerlik ilgi çekicidir.Editorial Citation - WoS: 4The Look of Silence an Interview With Joshua Oppenheimer and Adi Rukun(CINEASTE, 2015) Behlil, Melis[Abstract Not Available]Book Part İstanbul Convertible(Bağlam Yayıncılık, 2008) akçalıEditorial In Focus: Non-Western Historiography? Introduction(Univ Texas Press, 2010) Guratai, Ahmet; Spence, Louise[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 2Neo-Despotism as Anti-Despotism(Sage Publications, 2021) Diken, BülentI treat despotism as a virtual concept. Thus it is necessary to expose its actualizations even when it appears as its opposite, refusing to recognize itself as despotism. I define despotism initially as arbitrary rule, in terms of a monstrous transgression of the law. But since the monster is grounded in its very formlessness, it cannot be demonstrated. However, one can always try to de-monstrate it through disagreements. In doing this, I deal with despotism not as a solipsistic undertaking but as part of a constellation that always already contains two other elements: economy and voluntary servitude. I give three different – ancient, early modern and late modern – accounts of this nexus, demonstrating how despotism continuously takes on new appearances. I conclude, in a counter-classical prism, how the classical nexus has evolved in modernity while the focus gradually shifted towards another triangulation: neo-despotism, use and dissent.
