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: \u003ci\u003eThe Messenger\u003c\/i\u003e (Ulak),\u003ci\u003e A Man’s Fear of God \u003c\/i\u003e(Takva),\u003ci\u003e Let’s Sin (\u003c\/i\u003eİtirazım Var)\u003ci\u003e, SixtyOne Days\u003c\/i\u003e (İftarlık Gazoz)\u003ci\u003e, The Imam\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Shadowless \u003c\/i\u003e(Gölgesizler)\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eThwaites 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-03-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319716992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-71700-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 114\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45440706052236,"sku":"9783319716992","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319716992_34b41c0a-cfc7-4698-9b20-8429799aa4bf.jpg?v=1776777293","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319716992","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
