Turkish Ecocriticism: From Neolithic to Contemporary Timescapes explores the values, perceptions, and transformations of the environment, ecology, and nature in Turkish culture, literature, and the arts. Through these themes, it examines historical and contemporary environmentally engaged literary and cultural traditions in Turkey. The volume re-imagines Turkey in its geo-social and ecocultural narratives of multiple connections and complexities, in its multi-faceted webs of histories, and in its rich multispecies stories.

In the last decade, the concept of trauma has experienced a surprising boom in sociological and media debates. In a culture of outrage, blanket narratives of victimhood often overshadow the concrete, known social violations and their observable real economic and psychological consequences. T...
Everyday Occupations engages visual culture and the ethnography of space, satire and parody, poetry and political critique to examine militarization as it is wielded as a cultural and political tool, and as it is experienced as a material form of violence and symbolic domination.

Told through the voice of a canine narrator, Wûf is a surrealist wartime love story set in Turkey in the 1990s. The novel follows Mikasa, a street dog who recounts a tale of tragic wartime love at a kennel where he finds solace in storytelling and cigarettes. A book that took the Turkish literary world by storm, Kemal Varol’s Wûf tackles universal themes of love and loss with both humor and pathos. Translated by PEN/Heim Award winner Dayla Rogers, the novel renders in English a one-of-a-kind love story with a narrator its readers won’t soon forget.
28. sayımızla huzurlarınızdayız. Üniversite yayıncılığı çok kritik bir mesele olarak entelektüel camianın gündemini uzun süredir meşgul ediyor. Birkaç iyi örnek dışında maalesef sınıfta kaldığımız bir alan burası. Halbuki pek çok devlet üniversitesinin uluslararası alanda nitelikli yayıncılık yapabilecek insan kaynağı ve maddi koşulları var. Aynı şekilde vakıf üniversitelerinde de koşullar müsait görünüyor. Üniversitelerin hepsinden aynı düzeyde kültürel ve akademik yayıncılık anlamında yüksek performans beklemiyoruz ama başarılı örneklerin en azından bir elin parmaklarını geçmesini istememiz zannediyoruz ki hakkımız. Mustaf...
Situated between Europe and Asia, and surrounded by three seas, Turkey comprises a diverse environmental and cultural tapestry. Ecocriticism and Turkey is the first in-depth study to explore Turkish literary and cultural engagements with the environment. Ergin examines a wide range of ecocritical issues across four thematically organized chapters: “Sea,” “Climate,” “Routes,” and “Animals.” Each chapter addresses various dimensions of anthropogenic ecological change and highlights the role of literature in inspiring hope and action. The book takes readers on various journeys from the coasts of the Aegean Sea to the mountains of Eastern Anatolia. Ergin converses with both twentieth-century writers to shed new light on familiar texts and contemporary writers to capture emerging perspectives, including Rum, Laz, Kurdish, and Armenian voices in her discussion. The study is further enriched by an interdisciplinary inquiry that brings literature into dialogue with climate science, political history, underwater photography, folk music, and bio-art.
İnsan yaşamının vazgeçilemez unsurlarından biri olan mekân, bireysel yaşamımızı kontrol ettiği gibi toplumsal hayatımızı da belirler. Mekânla bağı varoluşsal bir zorunluluk taşıyan insanoğlunun yaşadığı yerle diyalektik etkileşimi, insanlık tarihinin de temel belirleyeni olur. Kültür ve medeniyetlerin oluşumuna zemin hazırlayan her yer gibi Doğu Anadolu da mekânsal niteliğinin verdiği imkânlar çerçevesinde, tarih boyunca birçok milletin ilgisini çekmiş ve cazibesiyle birçok uygarlığa ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Batıya yürüyerek kendi tarihlerini mekânla birlikte inşa eden Türkler, Malazgirt Savaşı’ndan önce başlayan keşiflerini, bu za...
