Connoting much more than its immediate spatial meaning as those places outside of the center(s), \u003ci\u003etaşra\u003c\/i\u003e is a way of naming what modernity decries as spatial peripherality, temporal belatedness, and cultural backwardness. It has functioned historically as a psychosocial repository for what Turkish modernity degrades and disavows, enabling a mapping of the predicaments and contradictions of Turkish modernization and national identity-constitution. Organized around \u003ci\u003etaşra\u003c\/i\u003e as its central analytic and informed by postcolonial, psychoanalytical, and critical theory, the book examines the extent to which dominant codings of \u003ci\u003etaşra\u003c\/i\u003e are affirmed and\/or complicated in cinematic and literary narratives by award-winning filmmakers Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Fatih Akın and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evren ﾖzsel輹k\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303104665X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031046650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Evren ﾖzsel輹k","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069275336959,"sku":"9783031046650","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15e6c403-b1ce-4dfa-830f-a3aa0f02d887.jpg?v=1685423814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-provincial-and-the-postcolonial-evren-zseluk-9783031046650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
