The Destiny of a “Baby” Industry: Turkish Animation

Author(s):  
Nazlı Eda Noyan

The word “destiny” is rooted in the word “destination”, the place where someone is going. In order to draw a map for our journey we have to know where we are standing and we have to have a groundwork. Animation in Turkey dates back to the first animation experimentations of Turkish cartoonists and the first public screening of Disney’s “The Skeleton Dance” in 1932. The pioneering animations are either unfinished, lost or obscure. Just like the doomed faith of the first -unfinished- animated feature film project “Once Upon a Time” that has been carried out for almost 9 years or the questionable and -sued- authenticity of the first highly popular domestic cartoon character on Turkish TV, animation in Turkey have so many low points. Nevertheless there is a growing number of domestic feature films with record breaking number of audiences. Animation education is only 30 years old with little number of departments devoted to it, -yet- the numbers are growing. “Design Centers” are established by the encouragement of Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology to support animation studios, professional associations are forming, intellectual property rights are the talk of the day, the academy and industry interaction is getting stronger, little festivals flourish... These are indeed turning points for the -baby- animation industry in Turkey. We need to study this map in order to get to our destination: a mature industry with established work ethics, high artistic standards and rich economic outcome and make a good destiny out of it.

IP or Intellectual Property refers to the creation of the mind; invention; literary and artistic works; symbols, names and drawings used in the trade. Intellectual property rights (HKI) are rights granted to IP creators, and include trademarks, copyrights, patents, industrial design rights, and in some trade secret jurisdictions. Works of art including music and literature, as well as discoveries, words, phrases, symbols and designs can all be protected as intellectual property or IP. Until now the catalog book "IP Animasi Indonesia" does not exist yet; while other countries such as Korea have released an annual catalog of animations since 2005. (The author data when he got 6 months internship scholarship at KOCCA - Korea Creative Content Agency in 2008, and a special invitation to Korea in November 2015). So through the process of collecting data with the method of collecting data periodically (time series) for more than 1.5 years, the author ventured to collect the work of colleagues from almost all of Indonesia. Once collected, the data is sorted, tidied up, rearranged, and then compiled in a book entitled NGANIMASI INDONESIA: Indonesia Animation Industry Data (NI). The results of this study revealed that until August 2017 there were 56 IPs categorized in animation character collected. 64% of the 56 IPs are character designs of humans or people; while the remaining 36% are animals, objects, and custom characters.

A turning points analysis is used to capture the negotiating dynamics that occur within the structure of thegattand thewto. Ministerial/Council-level operations and Committee-level operations are distinguished. WithinwtoDoha Development Agenda negotiations (2001–present), we isolate Ministerial/Council-level data and withingatt, we isolate Committee-level data by examining Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights negotiations conducted during thegattUruguay round (1985–1994) and at thewtoDoha Ministerial (2001). A detailed chronology of each case is compiled, followed by the identification of precipitants, departures and consequences, which are the three parts of a turning points analysis. We conclude that the precipitants that led to negotiation turning points in the Ministerial/Council environment are exclusively internal and generally procedural. The precipitants creating turning points within the Committee environment are generally internal and substantive. These conclusions have implications for our understanding of international environments and their impact on negotiation process.

Abstract Application of a turning points analysis to detailed chronologies of events that transpired prior to and during two matched cases of multilateral intellectual property rights (TRIPS) negotiations yields useful lessons for understanding negotiation process and effective negotiator behavior. The unfolding negotiation process is traced in the GATT Uruguay Round and prior to and during the WTO Doha Ministerial. Departures from earlier trends in the chronologies merit special attention. A departure is defined as a clear and self-evident change from earlier events or patterns in the form of an impactful decision taken by one or more parties. By coding the causes (precipitants) and effects (consequences) of the departures, we perform a turning points analysis. The turning points analysis, composed of three-part sequences, reveals the triggers and impacts of departures during the extended TRIPS negotiation process. The analyses will allow a comparison of the patterns that unfolded during the two phases of TRIPS negotiations, which will highlight the breakthroughs that occurred during the Uruguay Round and the crises that emerged later, prior to and during the Doha Ministerial. Improving the effectiveness of multilateral trade negotiations depends in part on understanding how critical turning points emerge.
