An Analysis of Identities in The Context of Cultural Encounters

Abstract

Germany is one of the countries, where conflicting nature of cultural encounters is clearly visible. The aim of the study is to investigate cultural encounters and identity problems in Germany within the framework of Fatih Akın's movie Gegen Die Wand. Film analysis, which will be placed in this context, is important due to the fact that it addresses discursive discussions related to Turkish-German identities and cultural encounters. 'Gegen Die Wand,' which puts emphasis on cultural encounters and existence of hybrid identities in Germany, issues that attract a great deal of attention in European literature, was analysed with semiotic analysis method. This movie, which, lays emphasis on cultural encounters and hybrid identities, highlights the changing and dynamic sense of identity in Germany. It creates a different point of view in German cinema as an area of conflict and struggle, and provides a new narrative form to German cinema.
