Özet

Tüm bu- Anlamsızlık ve sonsuz ıstıraba Oturmuş bakıyorum Görüyor ve duyuyorum ama sessizim. Walt Whitman, „Oturmuş Bakıyorum‟ (Genius, 2018). Kürt halkı çağlar boyu bazı kültürel ve dil farklılıkları ile Türkiye toplumunun önemli bir parçasını oluşturmuştur. Bu makale, Kürtler üzerindeki sözel ve sesli kontrolün nasıl ve ne oranda işlendiğini ortaya koymak amacıyla Sarmaşık filmine yakın bir okuma yaparak, Kürtlerin Türk sinemasındaki simgesel temsiline odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada içerik analiziyle filmde Kürt kimliğinin nasıl inşa edildiği çözümlenmektedir. Sarmaşık filmi Kürtlerin sessizliğini somutlaştırarak Türkiye‟deki hali hazırdaki konumlarını tartışmaya açmaktadır. Öte yandan bu film sessizlik teması üzerinden azınlık kimliklerine vurgu yapmaktadır.
