This paper aims to meta-synthesize films for future research on displacement and exposure to human rights violations in cinema. With a purposive sample of eleven films, the focus was on basic human rights violations and impoverishment caused by war-related displacement. The article provided spatial diversity through the thematization, and meta-synthesis of films produced on the topic in different countries. In the selected films, displaced people were often traumatized by material and emotional poverty and human rights violations. However, in most countries of migration, discourses on refugees have been developed with the claim that they cause unemployment and cheap labour. Therefore, the research explored not only the humanitarian injustices suffered by refugees but also whether the voices of non-refugee groups experiencing poverty and unemployment are heard. According to the findings, these films often focused on displaced people, with insufficient dialogue with local people, especially those living in poverty. In an assessment, it was observed that the selected films generally lacked a solidarity ground for refugee and non-refugee vulnerable social groups who are directly and indirectly subjected to human rights violations as a result of fleeing war.

Filmlerde Yerinden Edilme ve İnsan Hakları İhlalleri Üzerine Eleştirel Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışma, sinemada yerinden edilme ve insan hakları ihlallerine maruz kalma üzerine gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalar için filmleri meta-sentezlemeyi amaçlamıştır. On bir filmden oluşan amaca yönelik bir örneklemle, temel insan hakları ihlallerine ve savaşa bağlı yerinden edilmenin neden olduğu yoksullaşmaya odaklanılmıştır. Makale, farklı ülkelerde konuyla ilgili üretilen filmlerin temalaştırılması ve meta-sentezi yoluyla mekânsal çeşitlilik sağlamıştır. Seçilen filmlerde, yerinden edilmiş insanlar genellikle maddi ve duygusal yoksulluk ve insan hakları ihlalleri nedeniyle travmatize edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, çoğu göç ülkesinde mültecilerle ilgili söylemler, işsizliğe ve ucuz işgücüne neden oldukları iddiasıyla geliştirilmiştir. Bu nedenle araştırma, yalnızca mültecilerin maruz kaldığı insani adaletsizlikleri değil, aynı zamanda mülteci olmayan yoksulluk ve işsizlik deneyimi yaşayan grupların seslerinin duyulup duyulmadığını da araştırmıştır. Bulgulara göre, bu filmler genellikle yerinden edilmiş insanlara odaklanmış, yerel halkla, özellikle de yoksulluk içinde yaşayanlarla yeterince diyalog kurulmamıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeye göre, seçilen filmlerin genellikle savaştan kaçmanın bir sonucu olarak doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak insan hakları ihlallerine maruz kalan mülteci ve mülteci olmayan hassas toplumsal gruplar için bir dayanışma zemininden uzak olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
