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 BilgeCeylan and Fatih Akın and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-07-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031046650\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-04666-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 186\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716772511884,"sku":"9783031046650","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031046650.jpg?v=1776866372","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031046650","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
