{"product_id":"9781399538497","title":"Women's New Cinema in Contemporary Turkey : As If We Were Free, As If a Beautiful Life Were Possible by Pinar Fontini","description":"For the first time in the history of cinema, Turkey witnesses a generation of female directors who occupy their own space within the New Cinema Movement. They claim an authority of their own and create a distinct cinema. However, recent scholarship on the cinema of Turkey predominantly conceptualises contemporary cinema in relation to the patriarchal discourse of male auteurs and recognises its female directors in a tokenistic manner. This book is the first academic work recognising this historical moment - the flourish of a women's cinema in Turkey which disrupts the dominant discourses and brings another view to look at the post-millennial cinema. This study identifies the new production methodologies used by the contemporary female directors from Turkey in relation to socio-political and cultural dynamics and conceptualises these features under the term, `Women's New Cinema'. It also undertakes feminist textual exegesis of selected case studies in these directors' work.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298334257525,"sku":"9781399538497","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399538497.jpg?v=1764607991","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781399538497","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
