An interpretive approach to translation: Can Yücel’s translation of The Great Gatsby
(2020) Akat, Bülent; 18404
This study is concerned with an analysis of Can Yücel’s translation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby into Turkish -Muhteşem Gatsby- in the light of the Interpretive Theory at large and Jean Delisle’s translation procedures (Expansion and Economy) in particular. In his rendering of the novel, the translator adopted a strategy based on conceptualizing the ‘sense’ behind the source-text message through the process of deverbalization, and then reformulating that message by using a language that sounds quite familiar to the target reader. Instead of establishing equivalences merely at linguistic level, the translator used his linguistic and extra-linguistic knowledge to extract the explicit and implicit sense behind the source-text message, and then re-expressing that sense through the discourse of the receptor culture. This is a strategy intended to achieve textual and contextual equivalences rather than finding out correspondences at lexical and phrasal level. Based on these considerations, in this article, exemplary extracts selected from the target text were analyzed with a view to showing that the strategies employed in the rendering of the novel involve features that reflect the basic tenets of the Interpretive Theory. Within this framework, an attempt was made to illustrate that these strategies lend themselves well to the application of Delisle’s translation procedures, yielding results that confirm their relevance to the analysis of Can Yücel’s translation of the novel.
Avrupa Türk Edebiyat› ve bir temsilcisi: Emine Sevgi Özdamar
(2007) Ekiz, Tevfik; 6769
Almanya’da yaşayan ve Almanca yazan Türk kökenli yazarlarımızın edebi ürünlerinin nasıl sınıflandırılacakları ve hangi edebiyata dahil edilecekleri konusu Türk ve Alman edebiyatbilimcilerini meşgul etmiştir. Bugüne kadar genellikle “göçmen edebiyatı” kullanılmasına karşın, herkesin üzerinde uzlaştığı bir tanımlama hâlâ yapılamamıştır. Söz konusu edebiyatın bu çalışmada “Avrupa Türk Edebiyatı” olarak tanımlanmasının doğru olacağı görüşü, bu edebiyatın temsilcilerinden Emine Sevgi Özdamar’ın eserlerinden hareketle önerilmektedir; çünkü, onun tüm eserlerinde belirleyici öge Türk Kültürü’ dür
B/orders unbound: Marginality, ethnicity and identity in literatures
(Peter Lang AG, 2017) Kırca, Mustafa; Kırca, Mustafa; 33693
Contemporary literature concerns itself with transgressing borders and destabilizing hierarchical orders. Border crossing to question the given limits and orthodox beliefs brings many disciplines and diverse experiences together, and the result is a myriad of ways of expressing the alternatives when the established boundaries are liberated. The volume presents fifteen essays and brings together many academics and scholars who share a common interest in transgressing borders in literatures. The book is determined to encourage border violations, and each paper tackles the issue of border crossing in different realms and territories.
Challenges to ekphrastic poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude”*
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324
Ekphrasis 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
Eskilerin Bilgeliği
(Bilge Su Yayıncılık, 2018) Aral, Halide
Eskilerin Bilgeliği'ni Bacon 1609'da yayımlar. Bu kitapta Bacon'ın yaşadığı çağı siyasi ve ahaki bakımdan değerlendirmesi sözkonusudur. Bunu da öylesine ustaca yapmaktadır ki bunlardan hangisinin daha önemli olduğuna karar vermek güçleşiyor. Bacon, siyaset ile ahlakın biraradalığı zorunludur demektedir. Oi bu değerlendirmeleri yaparken de geçmişin mitlerini kullanır. Geçmişin mitlerini örten peçeyi aralar; bunlardaki allegorileri ortaya koymaya çalışır. Bacon Eskilerin Bilgeliği'nde mitolojiyi kullanarak siyaset felsefesiyle ilgili düşündüklerini de kaleme almıştır.
From ‘0’, the logic of imagination, to ‘ground zero’, the imagination of logic: the enigmas of Wallace Stevens’ ‘blackbird’ and current US action
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2009) Akın, Nüzhet
Wallace Stevens has signified ‘the logic of imagination’ in his “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” with the image of the blackbird that is the focal point of many debates. Stevens, the Post-Modern theorist, who rejects the logic derived from universal norms and based on pure and absolute reason, substitutes the power of imagination for it. For him, imagination recreates the objective world by synthesizing it. When perceived, the object, having been nullified, is reinterpreted and attributed meaning through the mechanism of imagination. By this way, man brings order and meaning to the disordered and chaotic universe with the ideas he develops. Therefore, imagination is a plane of reality whereby the object is present through concrete perception and absent through abstract perception. This Post-Modern perception resonates with the angle of perception that is claimed by the US following the incident of ‘the ground zero’ when the towers of the World Trade Center were demolished. In line with this, the twin towers being both present in minds as abstraction and absent as concrete have become a reference point in American National imagination. Taking a leap onward from this point, US has seemed to declare war on international terror. However, in this study, it is put forward that America does not take action with the logic of imagination that is a Post-Modern approach, but with the power of imagination of the US Empire that is a Post-Post-Modern approach. According to this, US international policy makers that accept the references of the Nation State America as absolute and permanent reality have created the concept of virtual reality to fill in the void that has appeared after the towers with democracy, equality, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, American ego, the Church built on the rock and the philosophical logic of the western mind, the composition of virtual myth. This approach is the power of ‘the imagination of logic
İçbütünlük Sorunu ve Modern Politik Ahlak
(2008) Aral, Halide
Bu makale, modern politik ahlakın içbütünlük erdemini dışlamasını ve yozlaşmasını Machiavelli’nin faydacı politik felsefesine; Sorokin’in deyimiyle, Duyumcul üstkültüre ve Schubart’ın deyimiyle, Prometheuscu kültüre bağlar. Makalenin amacı, ilkeliliği ve dürüstlüğü politikanın jargonundan tümüyle çıkaran güç politikasının aksine, içbütünlük erdeminin politik ahlakın merkezine yerleştirilmesinin gereğini savunmaktır.
İngilizce yazılan yakın dönem araştırmalarında Alevilik
(Gazi Üniversitesi Türk Kültürü ve Hacı Bektaş Veli Araştırma Dergisi, 2010) Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep; 103796
Türkiye’de azımsanmayacak bir nüfusu oluşturan Aleviler, Türkiye tarihinde uzun yüzyıllardır yer alırlar. Daha çok XVI-XVIII. yüzyıllardaki Osmanlı-Safevi siyasi çekişmeleriyle gündeme gelmiş olsalar da, Alevilerin Türkiye tarihindeki yeri Büyük Selçuklulara kadar dayanır. Ancak bu tarih yeterince araştırılmış değildir. Gelişen teknoloji ve iletişim ağlarının oluşturduğu küreselleşme sonucunda, bin dokuz yüz seksenlerden sonra bir “Alevi uyanışı” gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışma, son dönemlerde hem Türkiye’de hem de yurtdışında yoğun ilgi odağı olan Alevilik ile ilgili yapılmış ve İngilizce yayınlanmış kaynakları irdelemektir. İngilizce yayınlanan araştırmaların sadece Alevilerin toplum yapıları, tarihi ve dini gelenekleri ile ilgilenmediği, özellikle yurt dışındaki Alevilerin de uyum ve kimlik sorunlarını ele aldığı sonucuna varılmıştır
Language attitudes of Turkish students towards the English language and its use in Turkish context
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2007) Karahan, Firdevs; 11174
Learners, teachers, administrators, and parents complain about why most of Turkish people cannot attain the desired level of proficiency in English. Within the frame of this study, it is assumed that the provocative relation between language attitudes and language learning is a missing point of discussions on the problems of teaching English in Turkey. This study examines the relationship between language attitudes towards the English language and its use in Turkey. The sample included 190 eighth grade students of a private primary school in Adana, Turkey, where English is intensively taught. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: The first part required personal information such as gender, the age when they started to learn English, the place where they started to learn English. The second part asked them about their attitudes towards the English language and their attitudes towards the use of English in Turkish context. Mann Whitney U test and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient tests were applied. It is found out that although these students are exposed to English in a school environment more frequently than other students at public schools, they have only mildly positive attitudes; especially female students have higher rates. They recognize the importance of the English language but interestingly do not reveal high level orientation towards learning the language. On the other hand, they have mildly positive attitudes towards the English based culture but they are not tolerant to Turkish people speaking English among themselves

Postmodern philosophy of history and reading its traces in postcolonial (re)writing
(2023) Kırca, Mustafa; 33693
Presenting the outlines of the postmodern philosophy of historiography as it shapes the theoretical background for the analysis of the historical novel, this study aims to render that the recent understanding of history and its reconceptualization in decolonizing fictional (re)writings still provides the "re-visionary" stance seen in contemporary postcolonial narratives. After the introduction of postmodern innovations in theoretical and imaginative writing, there has emerged a rather newfangled view of the historical novel and an increasing inclination for narratives that attempt to reimagine historical moments and chronicles they integrate into their fictional worlds to pursue a re-visionary questioning. The critical frameworks of postcolonial historical fiction and speaking subalterns have moved on in postmillennial historical novels and political novels. Considering that postcolonial literary theories and fictional (re)writings attempt to deconstruct homogenous discourses and the Eurocentric (history) writing of the colonizer, it is claimed that, for the sake of textual decolonization, recent works of postcolonial historical writing intersect in several ways with the newfangled view of the historical novel.
Rebirth of the gothic in the metropolitan legends
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2006) Koç, Ertuğrul; 6497
Bu makale onsekizinci yüzyıl gotik roman geleneğinin yirminci yüzyıl grafik roman tarzında yeniden ortaya çıkışını irdelemekte ve gotik edebiyatın büyük sosyal dönüşüm süreçlerinin bir ürünü olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Makale bu tarzın ilk ya da son örnekleri olsun, bu eserlerin kapitalizmin ortaya çıkışı ve insanın bilinç kazanma sürecine paralel giden metaforik göndermeler olduğu değerlendirmesinde bulunmaktadır: Gotik roman tarzının ilk örneklerinde kapitalizm nasıl eleştirilmişse, yirminci yüzyıl grafik romanlarında da kapitalist sistem ve sistemin yarattığı materyalist bireye dolaylı atışar vardır. Sonuçta, bu tarzın örnekleri kapitalist kültüre ait bireyin manevi, ahlaki ve entellektüel boşluğunu dile getirmektedir.

Sadness Metaphors and Metonymies in Turkish Body Part Idioms
(2019) Baş, Melike; Büyükkantarcıoğlu, Nalan; 5837
This study examines the conceptualizations of the negative emotion sadness in Turkish body part idioms. More specifically, it addresses two main problems: (i) distribution of the body part terms used in idioms to express sadness, and (ii) conceptual metaphors and metonymies underlying the body part idioms that express sadness. The data of the study includes the idioms, which contain body part terminologies and communicate sadness. Conceptual metaphors and metonymies were identified following Barcelona (1997) and Kövecses (2000). The findings reveal that the body parts heart (yürek, kalp) and liver/lung (ciğer) are more productive in Turkish for the conceptualization of sadness. Among the conceptual mappings identified, physical damage is the most typical one with the highest number of linguistic items. Turkish data provide insights on the cultural-cognitive model of sadness, as well as on the embodied nature of emotions.

Secretive truth of the “Other Side”1 in Wide Sargasso Sea
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2009) Yılmaz Kurt, Zeynep; 103796
Jean Rhys’s last novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, is generally identified with feminist and post-colonial issues. This study attempts to read this novel as a reflection of Jean Rhys’s perception of the physical nature as spiritually animated. Revealed, especially, in her autobiography, Rhys believes in a world soul that is reflected in all existence as the manifestation of a greater force. Human love especially, in all its forms, replaces her belief in God. Rhys reflects the same belief in Wide Sargasso Sea, as the main conflict that leads both Antoinette and Edward Rochester into tragedy, when Rochester fails to adjust to this mystical reality because of his Victorian breeding. Awed by the physical reflections of Antoinette’s love for him because of his puritanical up bringing , Rochester fails to understand the spiritual extention of it, which he perceives as sensual only. Disconformity between Rochester’s material English reality and Antoinette’s West Indian spirituality distracts both characters from a happy union.
Tess of the d’Urbervilles: the tragedy of godless human existence
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2009) Koç, Ertuğrul; 6497
In Tess of the d’Urbervilles Thomas Hardy depicts a godless world where human consciousness is unable to comprehend the consciousness of the universe. Hardy shows that, having created God as the culmination of his own moral perception, man hopelessly expects mercy and poetic justice from his own creation. Tess’s catastrophe is not the work of Christian God, but the work of the powers beyond the understanding of the character. Although Hardy suggests the solution for the circle of tragedy in human solidarity, in the civilization of man, or in the social stratification of the Victorian world, however, there is no place for peace and harmony. Hence, from Hardy’s perspective, man is alone and defenseless in the face of the tragedy awaiting him. Criticizing in a sardonic way the patriarchal mentality and the ignorance of his main character Tess, Hardy reveals that human existence is tragic, and what defines the life of individual is crass-casualty.
