Publication Open Access Book review: The idea of comedy: history, theory, critique(Penn State University Press, 2007) Department of Philosophy; Freydberg, Bernard; Faculty Member; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesPublication Open Access On the possibility of multiculturalism: birds without wings by Louis de Berniéres(2021) Department of Comparative Literature; Ağıl, Nazmi; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50749At the beginning of the twentieth century a great number of non-Muslim population were driven out of the newly defined borders of the Turkish Republic. In Birds Without Wings, Louis de Berniéres questions the validity of the concepts like race, religion and language as the criteria for nation-building, and laments the loss of an Edenic life-style in an Anatolian town, when its Greek and Armenian inhabitants left. What made life there so good was the long-established multicultural relations, which the writer recreates for us. Hence, this article claims that at the heart of Birds Without Wings lies the concept of “multiculturalism” and points out to the way the dynamic relations connoted by the term are reflected through the novel’s formal and narrative aspects, such as chapter design, changing point of view, mixing genres and languages, and the symbolic use of names.Publication Open Access Derrida's otobiographies(University of Hawaii Press, 2017) Department of Comparative Literature; Ergin, Meliz; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 101428Publication Open Access Reimagining the epic: historical and collective memory in Nâzım Hikmet and Pablo Neruda(Hacettepe Üniversitesi, 2016) Department of Comparative Literature; Dolcerocca, Özen Nergis; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 237469This article explores historical and collective memory in Nazim Hikmet’s Human Landscapes from My Country and Pablo Neruda’s Canto General, bringing these two books of poetry together in their pursuit of a new epic poetry in the aftermath of the Second World War. Hikmet’s Landscapes is a collection of poems in the form of a biographical dictionary that profiles ordinary people’s lives in an encyclopedic manner. The poem is an account of the history of the twentieth century from the perspectives of multiple characters in Turkey. It presents an alternative history centered on the lives of ordinary people, bringing human experience into the center of the historical narrative that spans nearly half a century from 1908 to 1950, with a vast geographic sweep from villages of Anatolia to Europe and Moscow. In 1950, the year Hikmet completed Landscapes, Pablo Neruda published Canto General, meaning General Song, in Mexico City, another extensive and unorthodox artistic project driven by the ambition to tell all; it is a general/communal song, about an entire history of a continent and of the world. Despite many differences in their works, the poetry of Hikmet and Neruda carry significant parallels that deepens our understanding of the poetry of engagement in the twentieth century. In this article, I discuss the epic elements in Nâzım’s Human Landscapes in relation to its political function as a critical historical memory, and at the same time, by drawing parallels from Neruda’s work I aim to place Landscapes in an international literary perspective. In his pursuit of a new epic, Hikmet created a poetic masterpiece that recounts the history of people through multiple perspectives, bringing together the past, present and future around the destiny of millions of human beings. Pablo Neruda also pursued a similar desire to give expression to a wide landscape and collective populace of America and created Canto General to satisfy “the need for a new epic poetry”. This expression of necessity to turn to the epic genre reveals both poets’ ambition to capture the community in its totality. This paper shows that Neruda’s struggle echoes that of Hikmet who seeks to find a new voice that would revolutionize modern poetry in its embrace of the epic and to create a sweeping chronicle which spans time and space, history and geography to form a self-contained vision of a country and its people.Publication Open Access Materiality in picturebooks: an introduction(Croatian Association of Researchers in Children's Literature (HIDK / CARCL), 2019) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569Publication Open Access Honing emergent literacy via food: edible reading(Croatian Association of Researchers in Children's Literature (HIDK / CARCL), 2019) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569This study explores the honing of children's emerging literacy skills through the use of food that is inspired by children's books. Besides digital and printed books, edible texts have the potential to aid language acquisition and literary appreciation. When edible materials and children's books are synthesised into a new form to facilitate edible readings, the combination may inspire more families to engage in everyday literacy activities with their children. Using historical examples of edible reading that support emergent literacy, this work investigates how children have fed on edible materialities that appeal to their senses on multiple levels. As well as traditional methods, this study looks at innovative methods of food printing and production such as 2D and 3D printing technologies and how these may be integrated into edible texts through prototypes presented by the author. / Istražuje se način brušenja, tj. uvježbavanja vještine dječje rane pismenosti uz pomoć namirnica inspiriranih dječjim knjigama. Osim digitalnih i tiskanih knjiga, i jestivi tekstovi imaju potencijal pomoći usvajanju jezika i upoznavanju književnosti. Kad se jestivi materijali i dječje knjige sintetiziraju u novi oblik kako bi se olakšalo jestivo čitanje, ta kombinacija može potaknuti veći broj obitelji na zajedničko sudjelovanje sa svojom djecom u svakodnevnim aktivnostima usmjerenima na razvoj pismenosti. U osloncu na povijesne primjere jestivoga čitanja koji podupiru ranu pismenost, istražuje se kako su se djeca hranila jestivim tekstovima koji su poticali njihove osjete na višestrukim razinama. Razmatraju se ne samo tradicionalne metode, nego i inovativne metode tiskanja na hrani i nove tehnologije kao što su dvodimenzionalni i trodimenzionalni tisak te se razmatra kako bi se one mogle uključiti u proizvodnju jestivih tekstova i to uz pomoć prototipa jestivih namirnica koje je osmislila i ovdje prikazala autorica rada.Publication Open Access Chronometrics in the modern metropolis: the city, the past and collective memory in A.H.
