TI  - ORIENTALIST IMAGERY AND GAZE IN THE FILMS IL BAGNO TURCO, ZENNE DANCER, AND AUF DER ANDEREN SEITE
AB  - Orientalism still provides a rich literature to explore the mutually authoring power relations between the West and the East as well as the latent conceptualizations designating the Orientalist imagery. Based on a sexual difference perspective that Meyda Yeğenoğlu brings to Edward Said’s theorization of latent Orientalism, this paper examines Orientalist imagery, iconography, and gaze in the films Il Bagno Turco aka Hamam, Zenne Dancer aka Zenne, and Auf Der Anderen Seite aka Yaşamın Kıyısında. As of methodology, semiotic film analysis is implemented deploying Roland Barthes’s conceptualizations on first and second-level signification. The final analysis reveals that the visual and narrative structures of the selected films are ornated with Orientalist elements; namely, romanticism of the Oriental at the manifest level and homoeroticism of the Oriental at the latent level.
