Article Challenges to ekphrastic poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude”*(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıEkphrasis 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 modelArticle Wutheringheights: a hybrid that rejects classification(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2007) Koç, Ertuğrul; 6497; İngilizce Mütercimlik ve TercümanlıkMuch has been said about Wuthering Heights and Emily Bronte. Literary criticism that surrounds the work and its author, however, still continues to haunt the situations of both the novel and the novelist. Rejecting the formal tone and abstract subject matter of the criticism produced so far, I, in this article, analyze the text and its author from deconstructive, biographical, and reader response perspectives. Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights in the Victorian Age, when literary trend was concerned with the urban life. Despite being much discussed in literary circles and appreciated for its out-of-tradition themes, the work is neither the product of the age, nor does it belong to the anterior romantic (or gothic) tradition. The novel is down to earth within the unique conditions it was written, and this is because the writer was a unique personality to produce such an unclassifiable masterpiece.
