> Turkish Cinema: How “Neo” Islamic Culture Influences Media (Tentative title, abstract submission till October 1, 2010)
>
> We invite those who wish to collaborate in the implementation of this book coming from Cambridge Scholars Publishig to be published in the last quarter of 2011. We seek collaborations to explore the influence of Islam in popular culture.

> This book aims to study the Islamic influence on Turkish media, especially on cinema. Turkey has a long tradition of secularism, where religion’s role was limited in the public arena already by the time of Kemal Atatürk. Since then Turkey sees itself as a “secular” state, but religious belief is still dominant in the cultural sphere. In Turkish movies, most of the traditions and rituals tend to be derived from the Islamic culture. Turning a critical eye on Turkish movies in Turkish cultural life, the book will examine the Turkish films against the backdrop of the country's overall socio-political development, starting from the beginning of the Turkish film industry. It will try to illustrate a broad array of themes; from gender relations to feminism, religion and popular ideas about sexuality and morality. Focusing on representations of religious minority, it will draw out issues such as the formation of the Turkish nation, Turkey’s political and social taboos, and how these effect cinematic stereotyping.
>
> This volume concentrates on various approaches concerning the relation between Turkish cinema and religion, the traditions and rituals of Islam, the representation of Muslim women and of the non-Muslim minorities, and changes in the narratives and characters. This will be a comprehensive source on Turkish cinema in English; a milestone at a time when numerous disciplines have shown an increasing interest in new emerging Islamic popular culture.
>
> The book is addressed to a wider public, but yet scholars such as advanced students will be more interested in this topic. For those who are interested in Turkey’s opinion about itself and for people who work in film studies, media studies, religious studies, gender studies and political sciences, who has an interest in Middle-Eastern studies as well as general world cinema enthusiasts. This study will mark an important contribution to international film studies while offering general readers an engrossing and informative perspective on some of the most popular films in Turkish cinema.
