- Title
CHAPTER 7: Ferzan Özpetek's Cinema: A Post-constructionist Approach to Gender and Love.
- Authors
Yakalı-Çamoğlu, Dikmen
- Abstract
Through a thematic/visual analysis of Ferzan Özpetek's films Hamam (1997), Harem Suare (1999) and Cahil Periler (Ignorant Fairies, 2001), this chapter focuses on how gender and love mutually construct each other in Özpetek's cinema and argues that he takes a post-constructionist stance as he shows us that love is a material-discursive experience built around stories which intra-act with bodies. Through Özpetek's films, I argue that as gender and love mutually construct each other in and through heterotopias, simultaneously on discursive and material levels, gender becomes a fluid narrative identity, which has to be re-narrated in each love relationship/affair/story.
