A CRITICAL STUDY / BİR ANALİZ : FATİH A KIN'S GEGEN DIE WAND (2004): ETHNICITY AS PERFORMANCE
Abstract
Fatih Akın's film Gegen die Wand /Head-On (2004j is a mu İti-layered visual narrative
that poses questions about the notions of cultural boundaries, borders, ethnic specificity,
national identities, and the issues of sexuality and gender relations within the context of
minority discourse. The tragic love story of two Turkish immigrants makes the film
thematically revolutionary, because, instead of dealing with the voiceless Turkish
subaltern, who is gendered, displaced, and cnished by double oppression, Akin seems
to be enjoying the "pleasures of hybridity" and exhibiting, in transnational spaces, the
everyday reality of bilingual Turkish-Germail characters with dual cultural
backgrounds. In this context, the film is usually discussed within the genre conventions
of mi gr an t/di asp oric/acœn ted/minority/transnational cinema. This essay discusses how
Akin represents the ambiguity and the fragmented nature of hybridity and the interstitial
exjierience of minority identities by foregrounding intimate relationships.
