Article “Things Are Changing Under the Skin of England”: Representation of Immigrant Encounters in Hanif Kureishi’s Borderline(Albanian Society for the Study of English, 2017) Koç, Ertuğrul; Demir, Y.; Demir, Yağmur; İngilizce Mütercimlik ve Tercümanlık; İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıThis paper analyses Hanif Kureishi’s lesser known play Borderline (1981). In this work, written under the influence of 1980 Southall Riots, Kureishi addresses the problems of immigrants living in England and depicts how the idea of Englishness is challenged by the immigrants who are engaged in racist politics, suffer from identity crisis, and strive to gain a sense of belonging. Both first-generation and second generation immigrants who are unable to feel the sense of belonging in the host land (England) are depicted as occupying in-between spaces. A portrait of an immigrant Pakistani family, each member of which goes through different stages of adjusting themselves to the society they have joined is presented along with other immigrant characters in the play. To fight with the injustice and racial abuse, a group of second-generation immigrants establish an organisation called Asian Youth Movement. Although it is implied that England and English people are not ready yet to embrace other cultures, immigrants, especially second generation immigrants, endeavour to make England “habitable.” In the play, Pakistani immigrants are portrayed as subject to certain changes during the integration process, which in the long-term will have permanent effects on English national identity, culture and society. This paper aims to display how immigrants (despite being considered a threat) try to overcome the difficulties they face in the host land, and in the meantime inevitably make a change in the English culture. © Albanian Society for the Study English (ASSE).Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Vampire Versus the Empire: Bram Stoker's Reproach of Fin-De Britain in Dracula(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) Koc, Ertugrul; Demir, YagmurArticle The Interrelatedness Of Character and Nature In Katherine Mansfield’s “prelude”(2017) Güvenç, ÖzgeKatherine 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.Book The Organic Project of American Literature(Platin Yayınları, 2007) Akın, NüzhetArticle Changes in the Teaching of Literature: a Study of Practices in the English Language and Literature Department at Cankaya University During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Cakirlar, Ozkan; Uzundemir, Ozlem; Guvenc, Ozge Ustundag; Saglam, Berkem; Üstündağ Güvenç, ÖzgeDuring 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 Cankaya 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.Article Male Friendship As Masculine Individuation in Romeo and Juliet(2016) Aral, HalideThe 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.Article The Haunting Spectres within Consciousness: Melancholia, Memory and Mnemonic Entrapment in Shakespeare and Joyce(2016) Ekmekçioğlu, NeslihanArticle Action Research Organizational Intelligence Curriculum Development(2002) Erçetin, Şefika Şule; Demirbulak, DilaraBook Evil in English Literature Proceedings 23rd all turkey english literature conference(2002) Doğramacı, EmelBook Part Cognitive Reading Strategies(2019) İnal, BülentThe Book, “Contemporary Issues in ELT” aims to introduce the new trends of the last decade.
