Homoti: the Turkish gay E.T. remake

Macquarie University College

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Website › Article

Abstract

Through the theoretical framework of queer phenomenology and with reference to monster theory, this scholarly comic presents an analysis of the unauthorised, Turkish remake of E.T., titled Homoti (1987), featuring a gay alien as its main character. Being one of the three Turkish films made in the 1980s dealing with gay themes, Homoti emerges as a metaphor for the oppression of LGBT communities in Turkey by a patriarchal, military, nationalistic regime in the 1980s.
