Abstract

As an art form and an academic discipline that finds a place in cultural studies and social sciences, cinema is one of the most significant ideological apparatus. Expressing the changing perception of “I” and “the other” throughout the characters it creates, cinema has played important role both as the producer of the intercultural epistemological and ontological difference and signifier of it. In this study, setting out the films done before and after the 11 September which has been accepted as the birth of new orientalism, it is going to be stressed that how the perception of “I” and “ the other” has changed from classic orientalism to new orientalism and how it is reciprocated to this negative changes by the films such as Kurtlar Vadisi Irak in Turkish Cinema.
