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.

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.
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...
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...

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.
Turkish Cinema
Films often act as a prism that refracts the issues facing a nation, and Turkish cinema in particular serves to encapsulate the cultural and social turmoil of modern-day Turkey. Acclaimed film scholar Gönül Dönmez-Colin examines here the way that national cinema reveals the Turkish quest for a modern identity. Marked by continually shifting ethnic demographics, politics, and geographic borders, Turkish society struggles to reconcile modern attitudes with traditional morals and centuries-old customs. Dönmez-Colin examines how contemporary Turkish filmmakers address this struggle in their cinematic works, positing that their films revolve around ideas of migration and exile, and give voice to previously subsumed “denied identities” such as that of the Kurds. Turkish Cinema also crucially examines how these films confront taboo subjects such as homosexuality, incest, and honor killings, issues that have only become viable subjects of discussion in the new generation of Turkish citizens. A deftly written and thought-provoking study, Turkish Cinema will be invaluable for scholars of Middle East studies and cinephiles alike.
Public Istanbul
Istanbul is one of the largest and most dynamic metropolises on the European continent. In the context of processes of globalization and local urban planning projects urban space is continously contested. In this anthology forms, meanings and images of these urban spaces are discussed by architects, historians, and social scientists. Through interdisciplinary approaches of theory and case studies the book delivers a deep insight into the construction and constitution of public spaces and spheres in contemporary Istanbul.
