Deniz Göktürk

Deniz Göktürk's work delves into the literary and cinematic imaginations of America within early twentieth-century German culture, alongside themes of migration, culture, and cinema. Her scholarship interrogates the intersection of nationhood and migration in German contexts, examining these through lenses of transnational cinemas, travelling auteurs, and hybrid cultures. Göktürk's approach is deeply rooted in cultural studies, exploring how cultural capital and diversity are shaped in a global landscape, particularly concerning Istanbul as a cultural hub. Her research and teaching highlight the ongoing dialogue between national identity and transnational influences.
