Abstract :The book Sociology Through the Projector, which bridges the disciplines of cinema and sociology, was published in 2007 by authors Bülent Diken and Carsten Bagge Laustsen. Viewing cinema as a unique field of social theory, the authors question contemporary approaches in modern sociology through film analysis, opening up new areas of interpretation. The book consists of eight chapters. It includes analyses of six films: Hamam (1997), Lord of the Flies (1963), City of God (2002), Fight Club (1999), Brazil (1985), and Life Is Beautiful (1997). Therefore, this work is unique in that it questions different research disciplines through sociological analysis and film aesthetics, while also providing new perspectives on the complex relationship between cinema and social reality.
