“Annem İzin Vermese Bu Filmi Çekmeyecektim”: Foucault’nun İktidar Kavramı Üzerinden Ana Yurdu Filmi Okuması
“I would not shoot this movie if my mother had not permitted”: Reading the Motherland (Ana Yurdu) Movie through Foucault’s Concept of Power

Summary/Abstract: Examples of movies that depict the place of women in society in a realistic and a questioning manner are highly limited in both the world cinema in general, and the Turkish cinema in specific. However, an increasing trend has been observed in the recent history of Turkish cinema in terms of independent movies that treat the problems seen in the public order with a woman-oriented approach. Some of these works go beyond the examples from the past and scrutinize current problems regarding the gender norms in a realistic and questioning manner. Motherland (Ana Yurdu, Senem Tüzen, 2015) can be put forward as an example to the distinctive artworks in this regard as it liberates women with the alternative language it has developed in order for depicting this situation.
