Interior Architectural Issues - Design, History & Education
Cumhuriyet tarihinin en uzun süreli eğitim bakanı Hasan Âli Yücel hakkında etraflı bir biyografi. Yücel’in özdeşleştiği etkili bakanlık icraatı, başta hümanist kültür mirasıyla ilgili çeviri seferberliği ve Köy Enstitüleri tecrübesi, kitabın uzun bir bölümünü oluşturuyor. Fakat sadece o değil. Yücel’in milliyetçilik anlayışı, Kemalizm yorumları, dindarlığı anlama ve yaşama biçimi, geniş yer tutuyor. Bu arada onun üslûbuna ve meşrebine özel bir ilgiyle eğilerek... Hasan Âli Yücel’in düşman imgesi olarak, anti-komünist tehdit ve nefret söyleminin gözde bir malzemesi olarak gördüğü işlev de ele alınıyor. Çalışma esasen bir entelektüel biyografi özelliği taşıyor; yazdıklarına, söylediklerine yoğunlaşarak, Yücel’in düşünce dünyasında bir gezinti.
The present book is a bold attempt at revealing the complex and diversified nature of the field of translated literature in Turkey during a period of radical socio-political change. On the broad level, it investigates the implications of the political transformation experienced in Turkey after the proclamation of the Republic for the cultural and literary fields, including the field of translated literature. On a more specific level, it holds translation under focus and explores the discourse formed on translation and translators while it also traces the norms (not) observed by translators throughout the 1920s-1950s in two case studies. The findings of the study suggest that the concepts of translation both affected and were affected by cultural processes in the society, including ideological and poetological ones and that there was no uniform way of defining or carrying out translations during the period under study. The findings also point at the segmentation of readership in early republican Turkey and conclude that the political and poetological factors governing the production and reception of translations varied for different segments of readers.

The groundbreaking novel from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral that originally propelled its author to literary stardom: told in a continuous monologue from patient to psychoanalyst, this masterpiece draws us into the turbulent mind of one lust-ridden young Jewish bachelor named Alexander Portnoy. One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years “Deliciously funny . . . absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious . . . a brilliantly vivid reading experience”—The New York Times Book Review “Touching as well as hilariously lewd . . . Roth is vibrantly talented”—New York Review of Books Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )...
The World of the Siege examines relations between the conduct and representations of early modern sieges. The volume offers case studies from various regions in Europe (England, France, the Low Countries, Germany, the Balkans) and throughout the world (the Chinese, Ottoman and Mughal Empires), from the 15th century into the 18th. The international contributors analyse how siege narratives were created and disseminated, and how early modern actors as well as later historians made sense of these violent events in both textual and visual artefacts. . The volume's chronological and geographical breadth provides insight into similarities and differences of siege warfare and military culture across several cultures, countries and centuries, as well as its impact on both combatants and observers.
