The book titled Refugees and Migrants in Contemporary Film, Art and Media, edited by Prof. Dr. Deniz Bayrakdar, one of the faculty members of our Department of Radio, Television and Cinema, together with Robert Burgoyne, was published by Amsterdam University Press.<\/p>\n\n
The 21st century has witnessed an accelerating wave of migration driven by global warming, civil wars, economic and political reasons, and it is now happening again on the fringes of continental Europe, which was supposed to have established peace after World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n\n
Refugees and Migrants in Contemporary Film, Art and Media consists of eleven chapters discussing the reflections of this human tragedy called forced migration in artworks. Contributors include Dudley Andrew, Nagehan Uskan, Robert Burgoyne, Selmin Kara, Dora Apel, Erik Marshall, Deniz G\u00f6kt\u00fcrk, Eileen Rositzka, Deniz Bayrakdar, Nevena Dakovic and Iva Lekovic.<\/p>\n\n
