Patriarchal rule and pressure is in
everyday life of Turkish immigrant women. It makes integration process complex and difficult for females and increase
the feeling of being in exile within
Turkish immigrant society. I will make film analysis in order to back my
thesis. Two movies “40 Squaremeters of Germany” and “Head-On” represent how does the pressure change women psychology and behavior. I want to show the reader that how lack of
integration and the strictness of patriarchal rule can effect psychology of
immigrant women.
My main objective while writing
this paper is to analyze challenges of integration process within Turkish immigrant
women and how these problems have been screened in the movies. Especially Turkish women have faced much more
linguistic, cultural,educational boundaries and pressure due to their parents or husbands stereotypes against
German community.
The introduction will consist of
the background information about the immigration of Turks to Germany and how
they import their own culture to the host country and also male pressure on
female figures within the immigrant community . In the body paragraphs I will analyze the two
movie by focusing on the issue of sense of being exile and histeric behavior of
women who are under the pressure of
dominant Turkish male characters. As theoretical frame work , I will mainly refer
to Hamid Naficy “an Accented Cinema”, Ali Nihat Eken “Representations
of Turkish Immigrants in Turkish-German Cinema”, Sarah Schaefer- Greg
Austin-Kate Parker “Turks in Europe”, Janet Walker “Couching Resistance: Women,
Film, and Psychoanalytic Psychiatry”.
