Item Citation Count: Uzundemir, Ozlem, "A Maid Came Free": From Sighting to Citing in Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring", Studia Neophilologica, Vol. 90, No. 2, pp. 195-205, (2018).A Maid Came Free: From Sighting to Citing in Tracy Chevalier’s Girl with a Pearl Earring(Taylor&Francis LTD, 2018) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıTracy Chevalier's ekphrastic novel Girl with a Pearl Earring explores the relationship between literature and art, as it narrates Jan Vermeer's paintings from the perspective of the story's narrator, Griet, who works as a maid in the Vermeers's house. In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter's assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer's art. This article will deal with Griet's transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely colour, light and realistic representation, as well as the paragone between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.Item Citation Count: Taştan, Nuray; Öner, Uğur (2008). "Akran Arabuluculuğu Eğitimi Programının İlköğretim Altıncı Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Akran Arabuluculuğu Becerilerine Etkisi", Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Buca Eğitim Fakültesi Dergisi, Vol. 23.Akran Arabuluculuğu Eğitimi Programının İlköğretim Altıncı Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Akran Arabuluculuğu Becerilerine Etkisi(2008) Taştan, Nuray; Öner, Uğur; 113200; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıBu araştırmada, ilköğretim altıncı sınıf öğrencilerine uygulanan akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi programının akran çatışmalarını çözmeye etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmada akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi programının akran arabuluculuğu sürecini doğru biçimde uygulama ve akran çatışmalarını çözmedeki etkililiği test edilmiştir. Bu amaçla on tane altıncı sınıf öğrencisine (5 erkek, 5 kız) her biri 80 dakika süren beş oturumluk akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi programı uygulanmıştır. Akran arabulucusu olarak yetiştirilen öğrenciler, akranlarının yaşadıkları gerçek çatışmaları arabuluculuk süreci aşamalarını kullanarak çözmeye çalışmışlardır. Bu uygulama sürecinde arabulucu öğrencilerin çatışma çözme süreçleri (çatışma yaşayan taraflardan ve arabulucu öğrencilerden izin alınarak) video kamera ile kaydedilmiştir. Daha sonra kayıtlar araştırmacı tarafından izlenerek Arabuluculuk Süreci Değerlendirme Gözlem Formu (ASDGF) üzerinde; arabulucuların arabuluculuk süreci aşamalarını doğru biçimde uygulama ve akran çatışmalarını çözebilmede yeterli olmaları açısından, değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca arabuluculara Arabuluculuk Süreci Değerlendirme Arabulucu Formu (ASDAF), taraflara Arabuluculuk Süreci Değerlendirme Taraf Formu (ASDTF) uygulanmıştır. Akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi programının etkililiği, ASDGF, ASDAF, ASDTF sonuçları ile arabulucu ve taraflarla yapılan görüşmelerin sonuçları temel alınarak, test edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi alan arabulucuların arabuluculuk süreci basamaklarını doğru biçimde uygulayabildiklerini ve akran çatışmalarını çözebildiklerini göstermektedir. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar, akran arabuluculuğu eğitimi programının kullanışlığına ve etkililiğine ilişkin yeterli kanıtlar olarak ele alınmış ve tartışılmıştır.Item Citation Count: Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep, "Alevism In Recent Researches Written In English", Türk Kültürü ve Hacı Bektaş Veli-Araştırma Dergisi, Vol. 56, (2010).Alevism In Recent Researches Written In English(Gazi Üniv, Türk Kültürü ve Hacı Bektaş Veli, 2010-02) Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep; 103796; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüItem Citation Count: Sağlam, Berkem.

Bu fenomen, İnstagram ve Pinterest gibi sosyal medya platformlarında da yer bulmuş ve Jane Austen ismi üzerinden bir çok ürünün de pazarlanmasına yardımcı olmuştur. Bu sosyal medya platformlarında sergilenen ve satışa sunulan ürünler arasında, Austen dönemine ait antika tarz kalemler ve "Darcy külotları" gibi geniş bir ürün yelpazesi mevcuttur. Edebi sayılabilecek eserler de vardır bu ürünlerin arasında (örneğin, Stephanie Borran'ın Jane Austen'i bir roman karakteri olarak kullanan ve Jane and the Unpleasantness of Scargrave Manor adlı romanla başlayan dedektif roman serisi, veya Karen Joy Fowler tarafından yazılmış olan The Jane Austen Book Club gibi). Bu ve benzeri kitaplarda, Jane Austen, aşk ve evlilik konularında gençlere (ve okuyucuya) yardım eden ve tavsiye veren bir "Güzin Abla" veya 'evde kalmış teyze' konumuna konulmaktadır. Eserlerin bazılarında kurgusal bir karakter olarak karşımıza çıkar, bazen de kurgusal karakterlerin bir ikon olarak gördükleri bir yazar olarak. Bu makale, yazarın hayatını konu alan, Becoming Jane (Jane Olmak) adlı filme odaklanmaktadır. Bu film, Jon Hunter Spence'in biyografisi Becoming Jane Austen'den (Jane Austen Olmak) uyarlanmıştır ve Jane Austen'ın yazar olmasındaki en büyük etkenin Tom Lefroy ile yaşadığı aşk olduğunu iddia etmekle birlikte, yazarın yeteneğinin tamamıyle gerçek hayattan esinlendiğini de varsaymaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu filmin, popüler kültürün bir ürünü olarak, yazarın şöhretini pazarlama amaçlı kullandığı açıkça görülmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, yazarın hayatının nasıl romantikleştirildiğini ve kabiliyetinin nasıl geri plana itildiğini sergilemektirItem Citation Count: Uzundemir, Özlem. (2017). "Blake Morrison’s “Teeth” as Palimpsest", Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi, Vol.34, No.1, pp.169-176.Blake Morrison’s “Teeth” as Palimpsest(2017) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüBlake Morrison’s poem “Teeth”, published in With a Poet’s Eye which is an illustrated Tate Gallery anthology, is replete with allusions and therefore, requires a palimpsestuous reading. Using Gerard Genette’s terminology, this poem is a hypertext, echoing Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess” in content as well as language and structure. Like Browning’s dramatic monologue, in Morrison’s monologue the unreliable persona, a businessman, talks about the death of his ex-wife to a silent/silenced listener, while he also boasts of his art collection. Unlike Browning’s poem, though, the unreliable persona does not openly declare that he is his wife’s murderer. Moreover, the Duke refers to imaginary works of art, but Morrison’s poem is an ekphrasis on Francis Bacon’s painting Pope. This is a series of paintings designed by the painter to allude to Velázquez’s Pope Innocent X. In this way, Morrison further complicates the structure of the poem by referring not only to a previous poem but also to two paintings. The aim of this paper, then, is to discuss the multi-layered structure of Blake Morrison’s “Teeth” to show how Morrison complicates the act of telling, speaking and gazing through hypertextual and ekphrastic traitsItem Citation Count: Uzundemir, Özlem. (2013). "Challenges to Ekphrastic Poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude", Cankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, Vol.10, No.2, pp.163-169.Challenges to Ekphrastic Poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude”(2013-11-02) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüEkphrasis rests on the paragone between the sister arts, namely verbal and visual arts, the word and the image. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his Laocoön claims that the image is silent and fixed while the literary work is based on voice and action. W. J. T. Mitchell in his Picture Theory enlarges this binary opposition between the word and image in terms of gender roles: the female image versus the male word. The female image is objectified and gazed, while the male author/artist is the subject and the gazer. The poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s poem “Standing Female Nude” challenges such binary oppositions by giving voice not to the male artist but to his female model, and by attributing the role of gazing to her. Hence, the aim of this article is to display how Duffy deconstructs the ekphrastic tradition in her poem in order to subvert the domineering relationship between the artist and his model.Item Citation Count: Üstündağ Güvenç, Ö.; Sağlam, B.; Çakırlar, Ö.; Uzundemir, Ö.

"Changes in the Teaching of Literature: A Study of Practices in the English Language and Literature Department at Çankaya University during the COVID-19 Pandemic", Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, Vol.29, No.1, pp.53-65.Changes in the Teaching of Literature: A Study of Practices in the English Language and Literature Department at Çankaya University during the COVID-19 Pandemic(2022) Üstündağ Güvenç, Özge; Sağlam, Berkem; Çakırlar, Özkan; Uzundemir, Özlem; 18329; 32109; 105401; 49324; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, academics and students have had to respond to the unexpected and unplanned shift from face-to-face to online teaching. Since teaching and learning through online portals has been a new experience, this has prompted the academics in the English Language and Literature Department at Çankaya University to seek alternative and creative ideas to promote student productivity, participation and motivation. The aim of this case study is to discuss how the course materials, teaching methods and assessment have been redesigned to meet the needs of online education during the pandemic. With the examples from changes in the syllabi, student survey and sample student responses, this study also reveals how the academics in the department have had an opportunity to re-evaluate systems of teaching both on and offline and to refresh their role as instructors.Item Citation Count: Güvenç, Özge.

"Configuration of Alternative Spaces in Doris Lessing’s “The De Wets Come to Kloof Grange”, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, Vol.18, No.2, pp.43-66.Configuration of Alternative Spaces in Doris Lessing’s “The De Wets Come to Kloof Grange”(2017-12-29) Güvenç, Özge; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüDoris Lessing’s story “The De Wets Come to Kloof Grange” from her collection This Was the Old Chief’s Country recounts the story of white settlers, Major and Mrs Gale, whose routinized farm life in Rhodesia acquires a new dimension with the arrival of an Afrikaner couple, Mr and Mrs De Wet, to assist the Gales. Within the framework of recent theories of Thirdspace / Third Space by Edward Soja and Homi Bhabha, which are then related to Rosi Braidotti’s theory on nomadism, this study aims to show how hybridisation can only happen on the material level of space and how space, including the house, the garden and natural environment, can be configured and transformed from restrictive conceptualisation with boundaries to alternative ones where the female characters can escape to.Item Citation Count: Üstündağ Güvenç, Özge (2019). "Configuration of Transient Shelters as Alternative Spaces through Nomadic Acts in Doris Lessing’s “An Old Woman and Her Cat”", Folklor/Edebiyat, Vol. 25, No. 99, pp. 605-622.Configuration of Transient Shelters as Alternative Spaces through Nomadic Acts in Doris Lessing’s “An Old Woman and Her Cat”(2019) Üstündağ Güvenç, Özge; 18329; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüDoris Lessing’s short story “An Old Woman and Her Cat” from her collection, The Temptation of Jack Orkney, revolves around the nomadic experiences of an old and homeless woman in various places and her survival under poor living circumstances with her cat. The places occupied by the old woman in this story such as the Council flats, the room in the slum and the ruined flat in a wealthy neighbourhood cannot be considered as proper homes where people have a sense of belonging; rather, they are just material places she tries to appropriate as shelters temporarily on the way without a feeling of warmth and attachment to them. Focusing on the woman and the cat’s relationship with their surrounding provides a discussion on space and nomadism within the framework of Henri Lefebvre’s spatial tripartite - the perceived, the conceived and the lived - which is related to Rosi Braidotti’s theory on nomadism. It also reveals the social norms and values, which disregard an old woman and her cat’s struggle for life in a metropolis. Therefore, this article aims to discuss not only the material qualities of transient places in London and their conceived perspective which segregates the poor and the homeless from the wealthy but also the old woman’s configuration of alternative spaces for herself out of the ruins without a sense of home.Item Citation Count: Coussens, C. (2009). "Conversations with a Lady: Women and the religious debate in caroline Print culture", Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi, Vol.26, No.1, pp.49-67.Conversations with a Lady: Women and the religious debate in caroline Print culture(2009) Coussens, Catherine; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüCaroline sarayıyla bağdaştırılan kadınların yayıncılığa katılımları, genellikle Charles I’in politikaları ve Avrupa’yı etkileyen dini çatışmalardan bağımsız, özel bir edebiyat tarihi kategorosinde incelenir. Charles I’in krallığı döneminde, 1629-1640 yılları arasında ülkeyi Parlamentosuz yönetme, dini ve politik eleştirilerin sansür edilmesi ve İlahi Hak Teorisi ilkesinin benimsenmesi gibi olaylarda görüldüğü gibi, mutlakiyete doğru bir kayma görülür. Kral’ın Arminian Anglikanizm’i kabullenme çelişkisi ve Roman Katolik’lerin cezalandırılmaya devam edilmesi bazı toplulukların saraya yabancılaştığını kanıtlar. Kadınları ayrı bir grupta incelemek yerine bu atmosferin yarattığı daha geniş kapsamlı basım kültürü içindeki rolleri açısından incelemek daha yararlı olacaktır. Gittikçe kadın merkezli olmaya başlayan saray, bazı kadınların geleneksel değerleri aşıp yazar olmalarına imkan sağladıysa da, saray homojen bir topluluktan oluşmuyordu. Kadın ve erkek yazarlı tüm metinler yazarlarının belli bir dini ve siyasi topluluğa temel adanmışlıklarını ve ilerlemek için sarayın temel baskın söylemlerine uyma isteklerini yansıtma eğilimindeydi. Yine de, dini uzlaşmayı dile getiren yazılı metinlerin yazarları ya da okuyucuları olarak kadınlar gittikçe Caroline edebiyatının göze çarpan ögeleri olmuşlardır. “Bir hanımla söyleşiler” diye tanımlayacağımız edebi tür hem saray propagandası hem de saray söylemine dahil olma girişimlerini kapsar. Kral’ın John Cosin’e (1627) bir kadın için dua kitabı bastırması, onun Protestan İngiliz cemaatinin Arminianizm ile barıştırması çabasının bir uzantısıdır, ancak bu kraliçenin Fransız maiyetinin gösterişli Roman Katolizm’ine karşı Protestan kadınlar tarafından Henrietta Maria’nın sarayında tanıtılmıştır. Puritan yazarlar saraya anti-feminist ve anti-katolik eleştirileriyle veryansın ederken, iki kadın tarafından saraya hitaben yazılan iki metin baskın kralcı düşünceyle farklı dini gruplar arasında arabuluculuk yapmayı hedefler. İlk olarak, Protestan Alice Sutcliffe’in yazdığı, şiirsel düşünceler serisi (1634) dua kitabı projesi’ne bir yanıt ve saray çevresi ile Puritan duyarlılık arasında arabuluculuk yapma girişimi olarak ele alınabilir. İkincisi ise Susan DuVerger’in, Fransız reform karşıtı yazar Jean Paul Camus’un (1639) Roman Katolik dini romanslarının çevirisidir ve popüler Katolik edebiyatı Protestan İngiliz okurlar arasında yayma girişimidir. İç Savaş dönemi ve öncesinde önemli kadınlarla ve önemli kadınlara hitaben basılan metinler de kadınlara dini konularda tarafsız yargılama, arabuluculuk ve yorumcu rollerini yükler. Saray kültüründe kadınların görünmesi, onların Caroline döneminde giderek saraya hitap eden politik-dini metinlerin yazarları, sorumluları ve hatipleri oldukları anlamına gelmekteydi, sansür ve siyasileşmeden kaçınmanın bir yolu olarak cinsiyet önemli bir dini tartışma silahı olarak kullanılmıştır.Item Citation Count: Sönmez Demir, Y.

Le Guin(2022) Sönmez Demir, Yağmur; 30410; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüThe purpose of this study is to display the transformation in the self and identity of the protagonist Genly Ai in The Left Hand of Darkness (1969). Having spent two years on what he calls as a “damned planet”, Genly (master) has a chance to recognize the other (the slave), namely Estraven closely, thus experiences intersubjective encounter. In the framework of the Hegelian dialectic, Genly comes outside of his own self on Gethen and recognizes the other as a self consciousness that is other than himself. This process makes him transform as a person, develop an attachment to Gethen, and feel at home there. Hence, this study claims that Genly, an alien on another planet, reconstitutes his own self in three stages: journey, intersubjective encounter, and feeling at home on Gethen.Item Citation Count: Güneş, Ayşe.

"Nature, Criticism Of The World, And Love In “Dover Beach” And “Love Among The Ruıns”, İnönü Üniversitesi Uluslararası Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, Vol.4, No.2, pp.21-28.Nature, Criticism Of The World, And Love In “Dover Beach” And “Love Among The Ruıns”(2015) Güneş, Ayşe; 53100; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüMatthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” and Robert Browning’s “Love among the Ruins” have been analyzed comparatively with other poems. However, there has not been a comparative study of these two poems written by two Victorian poets, and such a study is valuable as these poems have common qualities. To cite a few, in both poems, nature is a prevalent theme portrayed through ambivalent images, and the world is criticized for different reasons. These reasons are loss of faith in “Dover Beach” and foul human nature in “Love among the Ruins,” and war in both of them. In relation to the theme of criticism against the world, change is a concept portrayed through contemplation of the past. In “Dover Beach,” this change is expressed through the depiction of loss of faith, and in “Love among the Ruins,” the change is physical within the context of a fallen empire. Love is appreciated in both poems for different reasons. In “Dover Beach,” it is the only saviour, and in “Love among the Ruins,” it is considered as a peaceful and eternal force. This paper attempts to make a further study to compare “Dover Beach” and “Love among the Ruins” which share remarkable thematic similarities as well as differences in terms of their imagery of nature, criticism against the world, and appreciation of love.Item Citation Count: Öner, Uğur; Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep.

Therefore, a study was proposed to find out specific body mass index [BMI-TR (kg/m2)] cut-off points for Turkish young adults. BMI-TR was compared with the classifications of the World Health Organization’s Index (BMI-WHO) and Asia-Pacific Index (BMI-AP). In this research a study enclosing the weight and height measurements of 196 cases (97 Male, 99 Female, age average 22.5 years) were examined. The recorded total data were calculated according to BMI-WHO and BMI-AP, subsequently the same data were computed according to Empirical Rule to find out the cut-off points of the BMI-TR and also specific BMI-TR cut-off points for males and females. The data were compared for both BMI-WHO and BMI-AP categorizations and showed inconsistent results. Therefore, BMI-TR was calculated and classified according to sex. In this study, Turkish specific BMI results for BMI-TR Males and BMI-TR Females revealed that the percentage of females showing normal BMI was higher (78.8%), than males (70.1%), and being underweight (14.4 % for males, 10.1 % for females) was more serious than being obese (5.2% for males, 4.0 % for females) in the “young adult” age group. BMI calculations should include age groups, sex and adjustment of height decrease for elderly on country basis.Item Citation Count: Uzundemir, Özlem, "Reframing Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar in Grace Nicols’s ‘Weeping Woman", Folklor/Edebiyat, Vol. 24, No. 93, pp. 73-79, (2018).Reframing Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar in Grace Nicols’s ‘Weeping Woman(Uluslararası Kıbrıs Üniversitesi, 2018) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıThe Guyanese poet Grace Nichols’s ekphrastic poem “Weeping Woman” in her Picasso, I Want My Face Back challenges Pablo Picasso’s iconic status in twentieth-century art. Written in the form of a dramatic monologue, the poem gives voice to Picasso’s model, muse and lover, Dora Maar, who was a Surrealist photographer before she had an affair with Picasso. Unlike traditional ekphrastic poems which involve the description of a fixed, silenced and gazed beautiful image through a male persona who is also a gazer of that image in poetry, Nichols transforms Maar’s objectified position in Picasso’s painting into a subject by voicing her critique of the artist’s cubist art, his use of colors as well as his geometric figures, and of his maltreatment of her. Through this ekphrastic stance, Maar reconstructs her identity as a photographer and rids herself from the artist’s domination over her in his art and personal life. Hence, the aim of this article is to discuss in what ways Nichols’s poem problematizes the privileged status of the male artist over his silenced female model and acknowledges the artistic talent of the woman through the use of ekphrasis.Item Citation Count: Üstündağ Güvenç, Özge (2020).

This study aims not only to move beyond the setting descriptions in a literary text but also to open up Henri Lefebvre’s theory of space, particularly his notion of rhythmanalysis, that have been utilized in the fields of architecture, sociology, geography, urban and regional planning to include literature as well. To this end, Doris Lessing’s sketch, “Storms” from the collection London Observed: Stories and Sketches, will be analysed since it displays various life trajectories in London and provides a critical view of the city from two different perspectives –that of the taxi driver and of the narrator –which contradict each other. Focusing on their interpretations of London and to what extent they are able to sense and make meaning of rhythms, thus, offers a new mode of observing the movement and continuity of life in the city, which also displays the relationship between humans and the spaces they occupy, and what feelings they attribute to.Item Citation Count: Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep.

Scott Fitzgerald’ın The Great Gatsby adlı romanında, Conrad’in özellikle Heart of Darkness adlı romanında kullandığı teknikten etkilendiği pek çok eleştirmen tarafından dile getirilmiştir. Bu makale, özellikle anlatım teknikleri, kurgu ve karakter çizimi yönünden iki roman arasındaki benzerlikleri vurgular. Bu benzerliklere rağmen, iki romanın farklı gerçeklikleri yansıttığı da ileri sürülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, anlatım tekniği, karakter çizimi ve yozlaşma - medeniyet kavramlarının ele alınması konusunda Fitzgerald’ın Conrad’a benzediği, ancak konuya yaklaşımlarının çok farklı olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Fitzgerald yozlaşmayı sosyal bir bozulma olarak ele alırken Conrad bunu tamamen insan doğasıyla ilşkilendirmiştir. Conrad’da insanın yapısı, Fitzgerald’da sosyal bozulma ile ilişkilendirilen yozlaşma kavramına bu farklı yaklaşımlar iki romandaki gerçeklik kavramlarının da farklı olduğunu gösterir.Item Citation Count: Sağlam, Berkem (2020). "Spinning the tale: Spinster detectives and the construction of narrative in the Miss Silver Mysteries", Folklor/Edebiyat, Vol. 26, No. 102, pp. 317-328.Spinning the tale: Spinster detectives and the construction of narrative in the Miss Silver Mysteries(2020) Sağlam, Berkem; 32109; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı BölümüThe concept of spinster detective is one that has been relatively understudied, despite general contemporary interest in the detective form as an academic as well as a popular genre. The spinster detective sub-genre has remained on the sidelines, probably because of its utilization of an old woman as the detective. As an alternative to the professional detective, she represents a counter figure who sits comfortably in her chair knitting away as the events revolve around her. It is interesting to note that the word "spinster" itself comes from the act of spinning and spinster detectives from Miss Marple onwards have been frequently represented as old ladies who alternatively knit, crochet, weave, spin, or embroider. This correlation between being unmarried and "spinning" gains a poignant dimension when the actions of detecting and spinning are considered as central to these narratives. What the spinster detective does, in effect, is, she spins a tale; she constructs events in such a way as to explain who committed a crime and how, by forming a narrative out of the evidence. Her narrative is a counter narrative to the dominant presence and construction of the professional detective. This paper aims to reveal how the Miss Silver character in the Patricia Wentworth detective series gains narrative presence in the novels through the act of knitting, and how she gains a legitimate voice through this seemingly passive production.Item Citation Count: Güvenç, Özge (2016).

In her short story “The Garden Party” which recounts the story of the upper-class Sheridan family’s garden party preparations, Mansfield challenges issues related to class and gender from the main character Laura’s focalisation. In this initiation story, Laura starts questioning the roles attributed to an upper-class woman right after she meets the workers who come to make the preparations for the party. Her dilemma about her class comes to a climactic point when she learns the death of a working class neighbour, Mr. Scott, and visits his funeral home. Through the juxtaposition of these two classes from the viewpoint of a female adolescent, Mansfield not only criticises the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie, but also roles expected from a woman. The aim of this article, then, is to discuss Mansfield’s “The Garden Party” with respect to the theory of deconstruction to show how the writer problematizes logocentrism by subverting the binary oppositions based on class and gender.Item Citation Count: Ekmekçioğlu, Neslihan.

The sea in Pericles witnesses the nativity of Pericles’s child, Marina and the burial of his wife, Thaisa within a chest. The natural elements lead the casket in which Thaisa is buried to the shore of Ephesus. Thaisa can be thought as the treasure of the deep. Her casket is discovered after a turbulent and stormy night by Cerimon who brings her back to life. The remarks regarding the wondrous meteorological phenomenon of the tempest point to the symptoms of an earthquake which caused the billow, the swelling of the sea which delivered the chest of Thaisa’s supposedly dead body to the seacoast. All the sudden turns and unpredictable events display the life experiences of Pericles who wanders in the Mediterranean Sea for many years. Shakespeare’s maritime imagination reveals a profound ontological relationship between the sea and human maturation in the sense of reaching a higher level of humanity. The ocean with its tempests and shipwrecks mostly contributes to sudden shifts in human lives and brings a kind of transformation in the lives of Shakespeare’s characters. In Pericles, the Mediterranean Sea with the impact of its geographical space and cosmology brings hope and despair, life and death as well as changes in Pericles’s life. The sea also witnesses the revival of life with magic and music at the seashore of Ephesus. My paper will deal with the multi-faceted geographical space of the Mediterranean Sea and its impact on character development in Shakespeare’s Pericles.
