{"product_id":"womens-new-cinema-in-contemporary-turkey","title":"Women's New Cinema in Contemporary Turkey","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.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503696683381,"sku":"9781399538503","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/womens-new-cinema-in-contemporary-turkey","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
