    İçbütünlük sorunu ve modern politik ahlak
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2015-12-01) Aral, Halide; 140184; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü
    This article is about the question of integrity in modern political ethics. It regards modern political practice as unethical and relates it to the change in political philosophy introduced by Machiavelli;the sensate civilization of the West in Sorokin’s terms; and the prometeic culture which developed, as Schubart claims, with the Renaissance. Then, it argues that making integrity the central virtue in politics will contribute to the development of ethical political practice.

    Male Friendship As Masculine Individuation in Romeo and Juliet
    (2016) Aral, Halide; Çankaya Üniversitesi, Fen - Edebiyat Fakültesi, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
    The purpose of this essay is to analyse from a Jungian perspective how heroic masculinity and Christianity, due to their negative attitude toward the feminine, problematize masculine individuation and cause tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. Although all male characters in Verona fall short of the mature masculinity that could come with developing a relation to the feminine, I focus on Romeo and Mercutio whose problematic development clarifies man’s difficulty with integrating the feminine without forgoing the masculine structure. Romeo, the puer, who represents the spirit, suffers from a positive mother complex. Mercutio, the trickster, the dark side of the puer, represents the body which is considered evil by Christianity, and has a disturbed relation to the feminine. Hence he compensates for, completes, and gives body to Romeo who is otherwise nothing but the spirit. Being the evil component, Mercutio is essential to the individuation process, and with his simultaneous resistance to and what seems to be an unconscious identification with the feminine, Mercutio serves as a medium through which Shakespeare presents what we may now call, following Eugene Monick’s model, bisexual androgyny as an alternative to heroic masculinity. But this potential as embodied in Mercutio is wasted tragically by the heroic masculinity in Verona.
