Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, modern demokrasilerdeki dört
kamusal alan modelini ve genel olarak göç konularına vurgu yapan ve üç önemli
Küresel Göç Filmi Festivali'ne özel önem veren aracılı kamusal alanların
kavramsal gelişimini araştırmaktır. Bu çalışma, küresel göç olayları üzerinde
halihazırda var olan çalışmaları kullanarak göçmen algılarındaki olumsuzlukları
haritalamak amacıyla dünyadaki göç medyası kapsamına ilişkin literatür
taramasına genel bir bakış sunmaktadır. Mevcut veriler, genel olarak aracılı
kamu alanlarının ve daha kesin olarak sinemanın, göç eden sorunları pozitif
olarak algılama yeteneğine sahip olmalarına yardım eden topluluklar üzerinde olumlu
bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgulara göre, farklı ülkelerdeki ve
yerlerdeki farklılaştırılmış filmler ve gösterimlerin yardımı ile Küresel Göç
Film Festivali'nin, göç konusundaki senaryoların ardındaki yüksek farkındalığı
değil, aynı zamanda küresel göç algıları konusunda da daha fazla empati
gösterdiğini göstermektedir.

impact on the helping communities to have an ability to perceive migration
issues positively. In findings indicate that The Global Migration Film Festival
with the help of the differentiated films and screening in different countries
