Drawing upon Alexander Beecroft's concept of "literary biomes," it argues that these comparisons overlooked intersections of Arabic and Turkish literatures in the "Ottoman literary biome" and depicted them as belonging to two separate "biomes." I define the "Ottoman literary biome" as the transcultural space of the Ottoman Empire that allowed the circulation of a multilingual textual repertoire and cultivated a cultural elite. Through foregrounding the transcultural context of Ottoman literary biome, I demonstrate that modern Arabic and Turkish literatures morphed in a reciprocal entanglement. My work finally calls for the fields of Arabic literature and comparative literature to further flesh out the diversity of literary biomes in which Arabic texts circulated.Publication 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 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 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 OttMed: understanding the Mediterranean through comparative literature(European Dissemination Media Agency (EDMA), 2020) Department of Comparative Literature; Arslan, Ceylan Ceyhun; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 280297Publication Open Access Ottoman literature as Mediterranean literature: travel, imperialism, and c omparison in Hac Yolunda by Cenab Şahabeddin(Mediterranean Institute, University of Malta, 2019) Department of Comparative Literature; Arslan, Ceylan Ceyhun; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 280297The Mediterranean did not receive enough attention in research and scholarship on Ottoman literature, which has often been studied either as the precursor of modern Turkish literature or as a part of Islamic Middle Eastern literatures. Likewise, Ottoman literature did not receive significant attention in those branches of Mediterranean studies that have foregrounded interactions between Europe and the Maghreb. This article calls for an examination of representations of the Mediterranean in Ottoman texts, as well as the envisioning of Ottoman literature as Mediterranean literature. As a case study, I will be analysing a late Ottoman travelogue, the Hac Yolunda (On the Hajj Route; 1909) by Cenab Şahabeddin (1870–1934), a pioneering figure in Ottoman literature. I argue that the Mediterranean as a heuristic device can orient critics of Ottoman literature toward comparative and theoretical approaches that engage with fundamental debates in postcolonial studies and world literature.Publication Open Access Physician writers: hysteric poetry and the medicinal novel in Hayal ve Hakikat(Akdeniz University, 2019) Department of Comparative Literature; Arslan, Ceylan Ceyhun; Faculty Member; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 280297When the novel genre began to become popular in the Ottoman Empire, many authors such as Ahmet Midhat emphasized that the novel was fundamental for society. These writers made use of “non-literary” discourses, such as medicine, and formed a new value system for literature. To demonstrate the engagement of these writers with medicine, a close reading of Hayal ve Hakikat (Imagination and Truth; 1891) is provided, which was co-written by Ahmet Midhat and Fatma Aliye. In particular, the article analyzes the “Hysteria” section of Hayal ve Hakikat and historically contextualizes it through examining both the literary criticism and the medical works that were produced in the nineteenth century. It shows that some Ottoman writers who lived when the work was composed depict medicine and/or science as an ideal for literature, and it is argued that these depictions have shaped critical judgments on genres such as poetry and the novel. These writers could foreground the “seriousness” of the new literature through comparing the old divan poetry with a woman or a sick person. This article shows the intersections between the history of literature and the history of science at a time when the novel could be considered the source of a cure. / Roman türü Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda yaygınlaşmaya başladığında, Ahmet Midhat Efendi gibi pek çok yazar bu türün toplum için elzem olduğunu vurguladı. Bu yazarlar ayrıca tıp gibi “edebî olmayan” söylemlerden faydalanarak edebiyat için yeni bir değerler sistemi oluşturdu. Onların tıp ile etkileşimini ana hatlarıyla gösterebilmek için Ahmet Midhat Efendi’nin ve Fatma Aliye’nin ortak çalışması Hayal ve Hakikat (1891) eserinin yakın okumasını yapacağım. Makalem, Hayal ve Hakikat’teki “Histeri” kısmını tahlil edecek ve bu kısmı on dokuzuncu yüzyılda yazılmış eleştiri yazıları ile tıp kitaplarını inceleyerek tarihî bir bağlama oturtacaktır. Böylece, eserin yazıldığı dönemde yaşayan bazı yazarların tıbbı ve/veya fenni edebiyatın ulaşması gereken ideal olarak tasvir ettiğini vurgulayacak ve bu tasvirlerin şiir ve roman gibi türler hakkındaki değer yargılarını şekillendirdiğini savunacaktır. Bu yazarlar, yeni edebiyatın “ciddiliğini” ön plana çıkarmak adına divan şiirini bir kadına veya hastaya benzetirler. Makalem, romanın şifa kaynağı olarak algılanabildiği bir dönemin bilim tarihi ve edebiyat tarihi arasındaki kesişimleri gösterecektir.
