ISTANBUL IN THE RELATION OF CINEMA-CITY: THE REPRESENTATION OF ISTANBUL IN TURKISH CINEMA FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL
Öz
Istanbul has served as a popular setting for Turkish cinema since its beginning. The city serves as the films’ natural background and as a sign of the city’s social transformation in Turkish cinema. Istanbul’s representation in film mirrors Turkish society during the periods in which cinema has developed since the 1900s. Until quite recently, the manner of depicting Istanbul in the cinema has shifted over various periods according to different historical, cultural, geographical, and orientalist frameworks and under the influence of such changing factors as social life, migration, and ruralization, the latter being a result of failed urbanization and unequal distribution of income among members of society. In this study categorized the full historical narrative of Istanbul’s treatment in Turkish Cinema into three periods. Cinema is an art that turns social concerns into a screenplay. Therefore, social indicators take place in a story through characters. This study examines the appearance of Istanbul in Turkish Cinema to reveal how changes in social life are viewed and reflected by analyzing the depiction of the city in many films since the birth of cinema. The dependence of cinema on the city in the context of the space required for the film’s production establishes a paradoxical loop in the relationship between the city and cinema. The same loop ascribes a function to the cinema in its representation of social changes and individuals. The study’s cross-sectional comparative descriptive analysis of sample films reflecting Istanbul during the defined period reveals how the image of Istanbul in its cinematic representations has transformed along with the social changes that have taken place in the city.
