Challenges to ekphrastic poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “standing female nude”
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Bir görsel sanat yapıtını betimleyen şiirler, yazınsal metinler ve görsel sanatlar arasındaki farkların ortaya çıkmasını sağlarlar. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’in Laocoön adlı kitabında sözünü ettiği gibi sanat yapıtı sessiz ve durağan olmasına karşın, yazınsal metin söze ve harekete dayanır. W. J. T. Mitchell Picture Theory adlı kitabında söz ve imge arasındaki böylesi ikili karşıtlığı cinsiyet rollerini de içerecek şekilde genişletir. İmge dişil, söz ise eril olarak ele alınır. Dişil imge bakılan nesne olmasına karşın, erkek yazar/sanatçı özne ve bakan konumundadır. Carol Ann Duffy “Standing Female Nude” adlı şiirinde, bu tür ikili karşıtlıkları sorgulayabilmek için erkek sanatçı yerine kadın modele söz hakkı verir ve bakma edimini de model üstlenir. Böylece, Duffy anlatıcının ister sanat yapıtı sahibi, ister sanatçının kendisi, isterse de yapıta bakan bir erkek olduğu resimbetimsel şiir geleneğini reddederek sanatçı ve modeli arasındaki güç ilişkisini sorgular.
Effects of calibration sample size and item bank size on abilityestimation in computerized adaptive testing
(EDAM, 2015) Şahin, Alper; Weiss, DJ.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of calibration sample size and item bank size on examinee ability estimation in computerized adaptive testing (CAT). For this purpose, a 500-item bank pre-calibrated using the three-parameter logistic model with 10,000 examinees was simulated. Calibration samples of varying sizes (150, 250, 350, 500, 750, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 5,000) were selected from the parent sample, and item banks that represented small (100) and medium size (200 and 300) banks were drawn from the 500-item bank. Items in these banks were recalibrated using the drawn samples, and their estimated parameters were used in post-hoc simulations to re-estimate ability parameters for the simulated 10,000 examinees. The findings showed that ability estimates in CAT are robust against fluctuations in item parameter estimation and that accurate ability parameter estimates can be obtained with a calibration sample of 150 examinees. Moreover, a 200-item bank pre-calibrated with as few as 150 examinees can be used for some purposes in CAT as long as it has sufficient information at targeted ability levels.
İçbütünlük sorunu ve modern politik ahlak
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2015) Aral, Halide; 140184; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
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.
Once an insider, now an outsider: Doris Lessing’s African laughter
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Doris Lessing’s African Laughter is a travel book including her four visits in 1982, 1988, 1989 and 1992 to Africa, the place where her childhood memories belong to. Pleased to hear the end of the white man’s supremacy, she traveled to the country, not only to visit her friends and relatives but also to observe the social and political changes that took place after the country gained its independence. The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamism Lessing observes in Zimbabwe, namely the political controversies, the blending of cultures and the continuation of the colonial hatred in people’s attitudes and lifestyle as well as to evaluate her visits as inward journeys to her past through an emphasis on the fallibility of memory.
The Interrelatedness Of Character and Nature In Katherine Mansfield’s “prelude”
(2017) Güvenç, Özge; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Katherine Mansfield’s contribution to the development of short story genre is related to her use of nature imagery, through which the characters are revealed. Many of her stories use the garden as setting and dwell on the difference between the outer and inner space, focusing specifically on the experience of female characters. In her short story “Prelude”, which recounts the story of the Burnell family’s move from town to a new house with a garden in the country, Mansfield emphasizes the interrelatedness of character and nature. Through the juxtaposition of wild nature with nature created by human beings, particularly the garden and the aloe tree in this story, she shows the inner states of her characters as well as the different relationships between the individual and the place s/he lives in. Ecofeminism, which correlates issues of nature and environment to the situation of women, emphasizes that characters cannot be thought in isolation from their physical surroundings. Hence, in this paper I will analyze Mansfield’s story “Prelude” from an ecofeminist perspective by highlighting the analogy between nature/woman and culture/man to show how the writer puts more emphasis on the former of the dualisms through the valorization of women and nature.
The Mediterranean Sea and the Impact of Its Geographical Space and Cosmology upon Shakespeare’s Characters in Pericles
(2022) Ekmekçioğlu, Neslihan; 145553
Multiple representations of space and geography in Pericles can be evaluated from different points of view. 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.
