Visible and Invisible Borders around Women: Feminist Meaning of War and Migration in Cinema
Abstract
Although women and children are the most affected by the wars and migrations that cause great destruction and suffering, the difficulties they face in this process and how they perceive what is happening is still not well understood. Turkey is one of the countries in which the consequences of the Syrian civil war and migration are the most visible. However, media and art works on the impacts of the Syrian civil war on Turkey and how Turkey perceive the civil war and migration are very limited. This study examines how war and migration, which make the borders between nation-states permeable, change the boundaries of women’s lives, social roles and bodies as well as patriarchal social perspectives against women through the film “Misafir” (Guest - 2017).
