Deutsch-türkische Odysee oder "ich will leben, ich will tanzen, ich will ficken" Eine Analyse des Films «Gegen die Wand» unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Kulturelles Gedächtnisses

Abstract

The master's thesis discusses the german film "Gegen die Wand" ("Head-On") in relation to several notions such as: cultural memory and film's potential role as a creator of cultural memory and the role of the individual versus the role of the collective - with a special focus on turkish-german women in todays' Germany. The master's thesis also discusses the notions of language, music and sexuality, and how they are portrayed in the film. It also gives an opinion on how the turkish and german "Mythos" are being challenged in "Gegen die Wand".
