This book explores how politics, religion and cinema encounter and
re-invent each other in contemporary Turkish cinema. It
investigates their common origin-the spectacle, which each field
views as an instrument of governmentality. The book analyses six
recent, some of which are internationally known Turkish films: The
Messenger (Ulak), A Man's Fear of God (Takva), Let's Sin (Itirazim
Var), SixtyOne Days (Iftarlik Gazoz), The Imam and The Shadowless
(Goelgesizler). Thwaites discusses how the cinematic nature of
politics and religion unfold amidst the increasing media visibility
of religion in contemporary Turkey. The chapters explore the
relationship between art and religion, and compare religion and
philosophy in their relation to truth, belief, and economy. Through
close examination of these films, the author highlights the role of
cinema in contemporary Turkey and at the heart of the religious
paradigm.
