| Abstract
|
:
|
People have moved across borders throughout history in search of better life conditions. Advances in technology over the last century have rendered travel and communication far more affordable and accessible than ever; and forces such as political and social oppression, natural disasters and financial troubles continually prompt large numbers of people to seek safety and freedom in new settings. The future is likely to bring increased intercultural interactions; humankind will need cost-effective, comprehensive methods for intercultural communication and understanding. Focusing on the Turkish diaspora in Germany, this thesis project investigates how arts, notably cinema, can facilitate cross-cultural communication and understanding between a host society and the racial, ethnic and cultural minority groups residing within it. The first part of the thesis (Chapter One), discusses the social and historical conditions leading to the immigration of Turks into Germany. The second part (Chapters Two and Three) shifts the focus to German national cinema, examining the parallels between German immigration policy and the representations of Turkish-German immigrants—their roles, identity, and sense of belonging within German society.
