Breaking the Power Dynamics Behind the Scenes of Turkish Cinema: A Head-count Research
2025
Overview
In this research, gender representation and equity in the Turkish cinema industry are investigated through a comprehensive analysis of the top 99 films based on ticket sales, utilizing data from Box Office Turkey. Drawing upon Foucault's concepts of power dynamics and discourse, Althusser's notion of ideological state apparatuses, and Laura Mulvey’s concept of the “male gaze,” the research compiles and categorizes the set crews of these films based on roles such as director, producer, and art director. By examining the gender composition of set crews across various departments, the study aims to illuminate patterns of representation and identify areas for improvement in fostering inclusivity and diversity within the Turkish cinema industry. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of gender dynamics in Turkish cinema and provide insights for shaping future policies and initiatives to promote gender equality and equitable opportunities for all genders, aligning with an emphasis on power relations and ideological reproduction within societal institutions. The study comprehensively analyzes the gender imbalance within the Turkish cinema industry and emphasizes the need to address systemic barriers and promote inclusivity to enrich storytelling and contribute to broader social justice and equality efforts.
