Enabling collisions: Re-thinking multiculturalism through Fatih Akin'sGegen die Wand/Head On

Abstract

Abstract‘Enabling Collisions’ considers the possibility of recuperating multiculturalism through an analysis of Fatih Akin's critically acclaimed film Gegen die Wand. Polona Petek argues that cinema in general, and film music in particular, has the potential to move beyond both the complacency of the advocates of multiculturalism as well as beyond the resignation of its detractors. Film soundtracks have the capacity to activate musical taste as the axis along which new forms of multicultural bonding can emerge.
