The first part critically assesses dominant media discourses on guest-workers and migrants in the historiography of Turkish-German cinema, arguing for a shift from traditional identity-focused narratives to a broader exploration of shared emotions. The second part explores Arabesk, which, while originating as a hybrid musical genre, has evolved into a significant cultural force encompassing a range of emotional phenomena. Arabesk embodies the visceral, often painful expressions of migration and dislocation, characterized by a profound emotional intensity. It articulates a painful passion and longing for the homeland left behind, providing an invaluable method for understanding aesthetic nuances of Turkish-German films. Arabesk serves as an analytical tool for deconstructing cinematic expressions, revealing complex emotional ties, and cultivating a feeling of familiarity through the dynamic circulation and exchange of cultural media. Thus, Arabesk's poetics significantly shape transnational cinema practices and contribute to global cinema discourse. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nazlı Kilerci-Stevanovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111555704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111555706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nazl\u0026#305; Kilerci-Stevanovic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46880813056255,"sku":"9783111555706","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a31949a2-6bbf-4624-a5ac-9a9ef71d0c14.jpg?v=1747969815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetics-of-arabesk-in-turkish-german-nazl-kilerci-stevanovic-9783111555706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
