"Tıp Öykücülüğü" Üzerine

Author(s): Hasan Erbay / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: Special/2017

Medicine is a discipline with its own rules and manner of operation. Literature is one of the dozens of kinds of art. The common point of both fields is that they touch human stories from within life. Human stories in the field of health are about the processes in which a person lives, may live or is able to live. With the definition of medical story, it is narrative which are written by medical staffs, especially physicians. Medical narratives are fictitious narratives connected with medical realities, interpreting the health environment from the perspective of a physician or health care provider. Such is the primary concern of the works in the literary concerns. The medical narratiation is a field with a limited number of examples in both Turkish literature and world literature. Due to the diversity of medical education models in recent years, there is a growing interest in the relationship of medicine with literature and social sciences. Both in terms of medical education and in the context of literary and medical literacy, “Medical Narratiation” as a product of “quest of beauty” is a new and distinctive area in Turkish literature.

"Verujem u Boga i u Sudnji dan" – Hayrun Yahya i savremena kontekstualizacija apokaliptičnih hadisa

Author(s): Marko Pišev / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2013

The motif of the apocalypse has fascinated mankind from the very beginnings of oral history and is present in various myths and religious traditions, finding its expression in the art of all time periods. Even today it hasn't lost its grip on human imagination. In modern Islamic contexts, the phenomenon of the apocalypse incorporates anti-western ideologies, which reflect, to a large extent the socio-cultural heritage of former anti-colonialist struggles, as well as the anti-imperialist attitudes which are present in a large number of contemporary Muslim societies. When paired with apocalyptic narratives, these notions can lead to negative essentializations of so-called "western morals and ethics", which are subsequently interpreted as a clear sign of the End times. Aside from the wider consideration of the symbolism of Islamic apocalyptic narratives, the paper will deal with a critical analysis of the visualizations of the Signs of the Last Day books by religious author Hayrun Yahya, who considers the topic of the apocalypse, as presented in the Koran and hadiths, in an affirmative light. We will attempt to puzzle out why the textual version of Signs utilizes certain quotes from the hadiths, while other, equally relevant quotes are avoided. We will rely on the so-called "interdiscursive" aspect of the enclosed quasi– documentary film, or rather, the heterogeneous elements which make up its audio-visual "text". This analysis should uncover the ideological notions behind this specific instrumentalization of scripture for the aim of religious, cultural and moral critique of contemporary (both Muslim and non-Muslim) societies; however, we will also attempt to point out the multifunctional idea – suggested to the viewing/reading audience of apocalyptic narratives – that Judgment day is near, and can come around at any moment.

ADIYAMAN-GERGER AĞIZLARINDA ‘KADIN’ SÖYLEMİ ÜZERİNE BİR ANALİZ

Author(s): Mehmet Yeşilkaya / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 30/2020

The cultures of societies are comprised of the human behaviors depending on the societies; of the perceptions of the people towards women and/or men; and, of the opinions and perspectives of the people living in them. Taking slight individual differences into consideration, a society’s reactions, statements, and actions are usually similar under certain circumstances. One of the occasions where this similarity applies is the perceptions towards women. One of the efficient sources which can shed light onto whether the perceptions towards women are positive or negative is the compilations of the dialects of the people. In this study, the examples of the statements towards women from fairy tales, stories and real life in the dialects of the district of Gerger of the city of Adiyaman were studied and the perceptions towards women were analyzed using discourse analysis. Many concepts used when speaking of women such as violence, delivery, administrator, chastity, bride price, polygamy, slander, oppression, parental discord/domestic violence, birth/stepmother, women’s will, etc. were identified in fairy tales and real-life stories. The compilations were studied over those concepts, the reflections of those concepts on women were explained, the difference between the tone of the male and female narrators were emphasized and several other details were statistically analyzed. As a result of the compilations put together in Gerger region, the traces of perceptions towards women were found in the fairy tales and real-life stories of 16 narrators out of 39. Among those perceptions are the qualities of polygamy, women not being able to keep secrets, women treated as goods and being bought, and not being able administer well stood out as significant

AYLA KUTLU’NUN ROMANLARINDAKİ İNTİHAR İZLEĞİNE DURKHEİM’CI BİR YAKLAŞIM

Author(s): Gürhan ÇOPUR / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 46/2020

Ayla Kutlu became an important author in Turkish literature after 1980 with her novels and stories. Kutlu, fictionalizes her works in a multi-layered structure by intertwining social and individual elements in her novels. Kutlu's novels focus on inner world of individuals taking part in the social events related to religion, beliefs, gender roles, economic life, customs and conventions of the community they live in. In her novels, the presented social events reflect the political and social atmosphere of Turkey, where protagonists are portrayed in their worldly pursuits. In that sense, the author, who is not indifferent to social issues and conditions of the period, makes her own interpretation of events in almost all her works, which makes them suitable for sociological and psychological analysis. In her novels, suicidal tendency of the characters, who are not able to adapt to the conditions they are depicted in, become excluded and marginalized. Emile Durkheim, who is mainly interested in the suicide phenomenon, regards society as a sociological laboratory mainly responsible for the psychological development of the individual. According to Durkheimian, suicide can be defined as an act in which social phenomena mark individual psychology. Emile Durkheim's theory of suicide is based on experienced cases, which he categorizes according to social causes as: “Egoistic suicide”, “Altruistic suicide”, and “Anomic suicide”. Among the suicide types that Durkheim has classified and distinguished according to their sociological dimensions, “Selfish suicide” cases observed in Ayla Kutlu's novels will be in the center of our study. In our analysis, the actions of the characters who commit/attempt suicide in Ayla Kutlu's “Cadı Ağacı”, “Ateş Üstünde Yürümek” “Kadın Destanı” and “Asi… Asi” novels will be examined within the framework of Emile Durkheim's suicide theory.

CAHİT ZARİFOĞLU’NUN YAŞAMAK ADLI ESERİNİ KOPUK YAPIT KAVRAMI IŞIĞINDA OKUMAK

Author(s): Nilüfer İlhan / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 30/2020

Literary genre, which is formed according to the conditions of the age and continues to change over time, has the function of defining, classifying and interpreting texts. It shows the quality of institutionalization by acting according to a certain method, rule and technique. It assumes the duty of a contract between the writer and the reader. At this point, it provides convenience to both the author and the reader, but also brings with the limitation and restriction of the meaning. On the other hand, with the postmodernism recently, the form and meaning characteristics of the genres have undergone a great change and the texts are written in accordance with many types and show an example of disconnection, discontinuity and pluralism. “Disconnected work”, which is a concept related to postmodernism, is based on the existence of various types in a text and fragmentation of chronological flow as a result of the breaking of the sovereignty of the species, overcoming the borders and breaking the literary patterns. In this context, it is possible to define Cahit Zarifoğlu's (1940-1987) work named ‘Yaşamak’ (1980), which is described on a daily basis, but also includes memoirs, essays, stories, letters, travel writings, novels, and prose poems, with the concept of ‘disconnected work’. In the introduction part of the study, the opinions of the theorists who talk about the relationship between literary text and genre will be discussed and information will be given about the concept of "disconnected work". Then, the comments put forward by critics about the genre of the book called "Yaşamak" will be mentioned, and the types in the work will examined through determining the way how they are included the book. Finally, the elements that require the definition of ‘Yaşamak’ as ‘disconnected work’ will be evaluated.

CEMÂL SÂFİ’NİN ŞİİRLERİNDE ALKIŞ VE KARGIŞLAR

Author(s): Kayhan Şahan / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 29/2020

Mankind always needed something from absolute authority throughout history. He always demanded something for the sake of his family, country or the humanity itself. Those demands and their statue of being required are a statue that associated with having a direct power or vice versa. To want someone to be good but not being able to make it happen or wishing someone that something bad happens to someone and waiting for it are theoretically the same. Hence, when mankind is not powerful enough for both, he seeks help from absolute authority and presents its requests with some patterns and in some forms, whose patterns are broadened/altered. While blessing is a way of showing regards, cursing is a way of showing bad wishes. Since applauses – imprecations continue their existences in life and oral culture, returns of the age and changing needs might go through some changes under the circumstances. Aside from applauses – imprecations which keep their existences as it is, also updates and new creations take their places inside the language. The instinct of wanting help from the absolute power, which is totally humane, have of course jumped to language and from there to literary language. Poets, as a part of their community, from time to time presented their applauses and imprecations through poetic language. Cemâl Sâfi who made a name for himself with his works Vurgun, Sende Kalmış, Kıyamete Kırk Kala and with many poems inside these works, also has good and bad wishes from absolute authority. This work is made for the determination of means of blessings and cursings in Cemal Safî's poems and their place in his poetry will be examined on examples.

Culture, Literature and Migration

Author(s): Petru Golban,Derya Benli,Francesco Bellinzis,Maria Bäcke,Estella Ciobanu,Tatiana Golban,Cansu Özge Özmen,Bernard Dickson,Chinyere Egbuta / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2019

Culture, Literature and Migration gives us a unique insight into the emotional and physical experiences of immigrants. By shedding light on the challenges of the plight, the chapters in this book raise awareness of the global scale of the crisis and reduces hostility towards the displaced as a result of a better understanding of that which is often left unspoken of and unheard of. The distinctiveness of voluntary and involuntary immigration is brought forward and contextualized in order to emphasise the trauma of forced departure and the often forgotten psychological complications of the host nation. With such matters arising, there is an ultimate return to notions of hegemony, colonialism, otherness, hybridity and citizenship. New understandings of identity, nationalism and multiculturalism are explored in context of transnationalism and multiculturalism. Culture, Literature and Migration critically analyzes the transformation of the immigrant and highlights the importance of hope and the power of inclusiveness in a fragmented global environment.

Author(s): Burak Çavuş / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 2/2020

In this study, the novels published between 1960-1990 and dealing with the migration of workers to Europe were examined in a contextual context. The process of immigration has been examined within the framework of the basic lines in the novels, through the concepts of gastarbeiter (guest worker), auslander (foreigner) used in the identification and naming of immigrants and connotations attributed to Turkish identity was conducted. The argument is that how they are defined is effective in policies and approaches towards immigrants and that these policies and approaches are determinative in the literary process. At this point, the effect of naming definitions on us and the other relationship within the framework of migration has been focused; there are inferences about the issue of migration and immigration through the novels examined on the basis of the relationship between society and literature. Among these, it has been determined that dominant problems such as discrimination, poor working violations, racism and marginalization are central to these works. Thus, the basic themes that constitute the migration literature, which is the aim of the study have been reached and the factors that are effective in transferring the sociological and historical reality have been brought the fore.

Divân-ı Hikmet’in Ses Uyumu Üzerine (Kökşetav Nüshası)

Author(s): Ali Akar,Senbek Utebekov / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 65/2020

Vocal disharmony is one of the most important issues regarding Chagatai Turkish and contemporary Karluk dialects. Studies on these dialects also focus on this issue. Especially, Kemal Eraslan found eleven suffixes which were contrary to palatal harmony in Chagatai Turkish texts. When we look at the vocal harmony of the Kökşetav (Kazakhstan) copy of Divân-ı Hikmet, it is seen that there is no vocal harmony between various words and suffixes. In this article, vowels were examined in terms of palatal harmony and labial harmony. Also, consonants were classified and examined in terms of voiced + voiced and unvoiced + unvoiced consonants. Vocal disharmony in root and stem of the word which results from some sound changes, were examined. Nearly fifty suffixes were found which caused to vocal disharmony. Frequency of occurrence of the suffixes which stayed out of this harmony, changes in the text. We can see some of these suffixes contrary to general use from the beginning of the texts. Many suffixes which changes in terms of vocals, stem from different reasons, caused to vocal disharmony. In this article, vocal harmony in Divân-ı Hikmet were examined.

Author(s): Gülseren Özdemir Riganelis / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 29/2020

The world's first known long literary text, Epic of Gilgamesh, is a comprehensive, multidirectional, fertile, key root text that can be associated with majority of literary texts. The story of epic with a very rich symbolic system, which is embraced by the oldest civilizations of the world and enriched by adding new interpretations, contains the first archetypes revealing the mental and emotional mechanism of human genetics and summarizing the individual and social psychology of him. The archetype of the wild man, one of the most important of these archetypes, settles in epics, fairy tales, legends and theaters for centuries and it is repeated throughout the Middle Ages and transferred from here to stories, novels and comes into films with the emergence of cinema. Sabahattin Ali's novel of Kuyucaklı Yusuf, which is published in 1937 and mostly is associated with the genre of epic, has basic character Yusuf. Other than Yusuf's resemblance to the epic hero, the most emphasized feature of him is that he is considered a noble savage by Berna Moran and some other researchers. Yusuf, who must be analyze from different perspectives as the basis of the novel, who should not be imprisoned in the concept of noble savage created by the understanding of nature of romanticism, is the reflection of the archetype of wild man, whose first example appeared with the character of Enkidu in Epic of Gilgamesh, reaching the 20th century. This article, which is used archetypal criticism and comparative literature method; is aimed to reveal the effect of Gilgamesh Epic, which is a 7000- year story, that extends until the 20th century, to analyze Kuyucaklı Yusuf with a new approach.

ERLER KARISINA KOCA OLMAYA GİDEN KELOĞLAN MASALI ÜZERİNE ARKETİPSEL BİR ÇÖZÜMLEME

Author(s): Cansu Daşdemir / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 28/2019

Archetypal symbols which are constituted to the main structures of the collective unconscious are systematized by C. G. Jung. Jung who focuses on archetypes such as soul, shadow, mother, father, persona, anima and animus, states that these archetypes play determinative roles in the persons' principle of individuation. Archetypes which are revealed indirectly with the help of symbols, appear often in narratives such as myth, fairy tale and legend. It is possible to encounter various cultural factors in the content of fairy tales which are the product of social unconscious as well as archetypes belonging to the spiritual world of the individual and narrator. Erler Karısı’na Koca Olmaya Giden Keloğlan is a fairy tale that includes socio-cultural and psychological factors and also guides the persons' principle of individuation. In the fairy tale, Keloğlan departs to realize his subjective transformation and he encountered every obstacle during this journey. Archetype images is a reflection of his unconscious. These archetype images are phenomena that reveal Keloğlan's psyche. The individual journey, which expresses the process of recognizing oneself and those around them, enables the perception of psychological images. In short, the individual journeys and archetypes that we encounter in the fairy tale are a summary of Keloğlan's psyche. It will be determined that these archetypal images and indivudual journeys are constituted to the mainframe of the fairy tale and those contribute incontrovertibly to the subjective transformation of Keloğlan. From this point of view, how social images are transferred to the fairy tale will be revealed too.
