FUNDA BİLGEN STEINBERG MA:
"Aesthetics in Rebellion: The “Wild Woman” in Fatih Akin’s and
Lars von Trier’s Cinema"


This doctoral thesis deals with Fatih Akın’s and Lars von Trier’s cinema as a challenge to the archetypal mother/woman image with the different representations of the “Wild/Wolf Woman”. It aims to analyze how this challenge appears through nature, occult, and hyper-sexuality in Trier’s works, and culture, religion, and politics in Akın’s. Focusing on the similarities and differences in the contexts and approaches of the selected movies, the “Wild/Wolf Woman” as a manifestation of aesthetic rebellion cinema will be discussed. How both directors undo and deconstruct the deeply-rooted, archetypal image of woman in grand narratives and the collective unconscious seen from the “male gaze” will be examined by applying and challenging Jung’s archetypes with references to Foucault, Butler, and Camus.

She completed her BA in English Language and Literature at Bilkent University, and her MA in English Literature with a focus on gender and cultural studies in Middle East Technical University.
