    Identity negotiations in autobiographical documentary : the case of I am my mother’s daughter
    (Bahcesehir University Institute of Social Sciences, 2007) Sungur, Melike; Schroeder, Süheyla Kırca
    This study aims to examine the identity politics in the Turkish-German autobiographical documentary I Am my Mother’s Daughter by Seyhan Derin (1996, Germany). The main focus of the study is to analyze the construction of female subjectivity and the autobiographical subject in the film. By moving from the Turkish-German minority identity, identity politics in the documentary film will be further studied in relation to Western discourses on Third World difference. The way the film constructs gender identity will be analyzed from the perspective of the theories on culture and identity.
