“Ölü Malzemeler: Erken Cumhuriyet’te Film ve Dirimcilik” makalem Toplumsal Tarih’in yeni sayısında. Makalede Erken Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sinde sinemanın “yeni hayat” ve “yeni insan” tasavvurunu kuracak pedagojik-siyasal bir araç olarak nasıl düşünüldüğünü ele alıyorum.

Pek çok geminin, öyküsü ne olursa olsun, hazin ve kaçınılmaz sonu hurdacılarca parçalanmaktı. Kimi haddehanelerde eritildikten sonra köşebentler, kemereler, kaplamalar olarak yeni gemilerin yapımında kullanıldı, kiminden ise tıraş jileti yapıldı.
