Özet:

 

Based   upon   a   Turkish   movie   named   after   “Gurbetci   Saban   (Saban   the  Expatriate)”,  this  essay  analyzes  the  portrayal  of  the  link  between  international   labor   migration   and   underground   employment   within   the  framework  of  Turkish  immigrants  in  Germany.  Turkish  immigration  to  Germany  in  a  legal  context  following  the  Labor  Agreement  Protocol  between  Turkey  and  Germany  in  October  1961  accelerated  in  the  1960s  and  converted  into  a  massive  scale  thereafter.  That  agreement  was  the  reflection  of  the  mutual  interests  of  the  two  states.  The  reason  is  that  Germany  desired  to  meet  its  employment  needs  so  as  to  develop  in  an  industrial  way  following  World  War  II,  which  was  a  real  catastrophe  for  Germans.  Meanwhile,  in  Turkey  there  was  both  political  and  economic  upheaval all around the country. Politically, a military coup took place on May  27,  1960  to  eliminate  Menderes’s  Democrat  Party  and  economically,  unemployment as well as poverty pushed many to migrate from Turkey. As a matter of fact, this study is the upgraded and new format of its equivalents due to the fact that a qualitative data analysis program called as MAXQDA 2018 was utilized to ascertain Turkish immigrants’ labor market conditions, specifically the underground economy in Germany. Additionally, discourse analysis was used as the research method in the paper.
