Turkish Society

Contemporary cinematography reflects the dualism in modern Turkish society. The heart of every inhabitant of Anatolia is dominated by homesickness for his little homeland. This overpowering feeling affects common people migrating in search of work as well as intellectuals for whom Istanbul is a place for their artistic development but not the place of origin. The city and “the rest” have been considered in opposition to each other. The struggle between “the provincial” and “the urban” has even created its own film genre in Turkish cinematography described as “homeland movies”. They paint the portrait of a Turkish middle class intellectual on the horns of a dilemma, the search for a modern identity and a place to belong in a modern world where values are constantly shifting.

27th ISTANBUL INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Ask festival director Azize Tan why she was using every opportunity available to celebrate the current revival of Turkish cinema at the 27th Istanbul International Film Festival (5-20 April 2008), and she would tick off any number of reasons. Last year, for instance, Orhan Pamuk, the 2006 Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, served on the international jury at Cannes. Further, the Palm for Best Screenplay was awarded to Turkey-born, Germany-based Fatih Akin's Auf der anderen Seite (The Edge of Heaven), a German-Turkish co-production. Also, before this year's IIFF even began, the city was alive with the rumour that Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Uç maymun (Three Monkeys) was likely headed for the Cannes competition - as, indeed, it was. Finally, at the close of the Istanbul festival, the international jury headed by German cinematographer Michael Ballhaus awarded the Golden Tulip to Semih Kaplanolu's Yumurta (Egg), a Turkish-Greek...

Three Sisters

Modern human who has witnessed the rise of rational thinking and technique was drifted in limbo suffering from numerous essential anxieties and problems through deracinating by means of movements of urbanization and migration. In order to explain the social outlook of the event of deracination, the concepts of “deterritorialisation” which has become clear thanks to the intensive efforts of Deleuze and Guattari as well as Heidegger frequently gains importance. In this study, the film of “A Tale of Three Sisters” (Kızkardeşler) (2019) by Emin Alper which has been observed to have the effects of the motherland and home Turkish cinema of the latest period was analyzed. In addition to the sociological analysis of the film, the film was analyzed using the philosophical conceptualization of deterritorialisation and home (haimat) which were presented by Heidegger, Deluze and Guattari through focusing on them. In conclusion, the reflections of deterritorialisation on the rural area different than that in cities were turned into a movies and it was imaged through characters in which the concept of home almost disappears in the modern world. In the films, the longing of three sisters for the city and the life style that city represents equals to the deterritorialisation in terms of the perspective of Deluze and Guattari, the rural area itself, on the contrary to the modern and progressive city, was given to the audience as a slow and cyclic heterotopy of the time. Keywords: Cinema, Sisters, Heidegger, Delueze, Deterritorialisation

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
