{"product_id":"aesthetics-of-displacement-ozlem-koksal-9781501320187","title":"Aesthetics of Displacement: Turkey and its Minorities on Screen","description":"Displacement does not only have an effect on groups' and individuals' ways of relating to their identity and their past but the knowledge and experience of it also has an impact on its representation. Looking at films that represent the experience of displacement in relation to Turkey's minorities, \u003ci\u003eAesthetics of Displacement\u003c\/i\u003e argues that there is a particular aesthetic continuity among the otherwise unrelated films. Ozlem Koksal focuses on films that bring taboo issues concerning the repression of minorities into visibility, arguing that the changing political and social conditions determine not only the types of stories told but also the ways in which these stories are told.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on aesthetic and narrative continuities, the films discussed include \u003ci\u003eArarat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWaiting for the Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Time in Anatolia\u003c\/i\u003e among others. Each film is examined in light of major historical event(s) and their context (political and social) as well as the impact these events had on the construction of both minority and Turkish identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ozlem Koksal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501320181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501320187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Ozlem Koksal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200757186815,"sku":"9781501320187","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f59971e-2d82-402c-b32f-dd2ede6d7c51.jpg?v=1756787775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetics-of-displacement-ozlem-koksal-9781501320187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
