    Master Thesis
    Borders as Blackholes: Contemporary Migratory Films in Turkey
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Ayata, Azra; Bayrakdar, Gülümser Deniz
    European Union integration process foresees harmonization of nation-state's migration and asylum systems. In this sense, border controls are strengthened and non-European countries are included in these border regimes. As a candidate country, Turkey's migration and asylum system shows changes. As a result of these policies, new transition spaces, structures and definitions are generated. In accordance with changing socio-political environments; cinema reflects these changes. In this thesis, primarily focusing on Kumun Tadı (Melisa Önel, 2013) and Rıza (Tayfun Pirselimoğlu, 2007), I will examine how these films question produced structures and definitions of migration. In this sense, they offer "critical sites" to those newly established spaces.
