Istanbulites thus their perception, imagery, association and memorization of the city. In a city of such mass, even a simple journey like commuting is not merely transitional and partial. The mobility experiences -on, above or under the ground- create diverse ways of observation and interaction. Gender, socio-economic environment as well as individual characteristic reciprocally transform these experiences. Furthermore, the mode of a dweller's existence in the city as a traveler influence beyond the journeys –they have impacts on their role in their communities as family, school, work, apartment, neighborhood etc.
On this ground, this paper is an inquiry into different modes of the movement and perception of Istanbul in selected movies from 2000s: Şimdiki Zaman (2012) and Pandora’nın Kutusu (2008). In these selected movies –both directed by females- the image of the city is predominantly portrayed through the lenses of mobile characters who travel on foot, by bus or car. Istanbul isn’t merely an intriguing scenery, an enticing spectacle or a panoramic image observed from afar; but rather a place where people try to engage and develop a sense of belonging. The movement of the heroines will be explored in order to develop a sense of mental and temporal space; in a way, the psychogeography of the characters will be traced.The concept of psychogeography will provide a method to understand the individuals’ sense of belonging (or not belonging) to the city and its impact on their psyche.

Urban social movements tackle the housing crisis and housing (in)justice by challenging the idea that housing is a commodity and putting forward transformative political demands that position housing as a fundamental human right. But how do these social movements shape political and legal frameworks, and how can their struggles produce alternatives to -and despite- neoliberal housing policies? This article discusses the unique dynamics of housing issues in Berlin by engaging with the historical contingencies, actors and networks, political discourses, and housing policies. It also explores how the demand for the socialization of tenant movements can produce a long-term, just, and commons-oriented urban and housing policy in and beyond Berlin.
