Through an examination of a broad range of literary translations, media portrayals, interviews, and other related materials, Translating the Counterculture seeks to uncover how the Beats and their texts are being circulated, discussed, and used in Turkey to rethink the possibilities they might hold for social critique today.
Essays on the Peripheries contains essays written by translator and scholar Peter Valente over a twenty-year period, stretching from the 1990s to 2019. They are a record of literary exploration and discovery, concerned with the recovery of lost works, with those writers whose works were out of print or hard to find, and whose names were somehow not fashionable in the current discourse, but who are important nevertheless. Edouard Roditi, Barbara Barg, and Tom Savage, for example, should be better known, but their books are largely ignored. This collection of essays highlights those works on the periphery, such as Turkish poets Seyhan Erözçelik and Küçük İskender, while it also includes ...

“Bir çoklu koro, bir zengin orkestra gibidir bu kitaptan taşanlar. Taşan bir kitap bu. Katlanan, kanatlanan, aşkın, delişmen, yoğun, parçalı, tekrarlı, şiddetli, pervasız, iştahlı bir kitap. Kışkırtıcı, denetimsiz, cesur, dobra, kalabalık, gürültücü, arzulu bir dil bu. Esinleyici, bulaşıcı, aşırı, riskli, ironik, kara bir söylem. Samimiyetin, cüretin, şefkatin, itirazın, isyanın kitabı bu. Bizden alıp bize veriyor büyüttüğünü de öldürdüğünü de, düşündüğünü ve düşlediğini de, âşık olup yenildiğini de, karşı çıktığını da, aldandığını ve aldattığını da. Bu dünyadan ben geçtim, ben bu dünyadan böyle geçtim demenin kitabı bu. Bir lades kemiği gibi kırılmanın, tüm iktidarlara kafa tutmanın kitabı bu. Sözcüklerin arzulu ve şiddetli ve kanlı bir dansa kalktığı bir kitap bu.” Gonca Özmen #burçlar #ikizler #balık #isyan #yeraltı #uyumsuzluk #acı #başkaldırı #anarşi #aşk #yoldançıkma
An ethnographic analysis of organ transplantation in Turkey, based on the stories of kidney-transplant patients and physicians in Istanbul.
Beat literature? Have not the great canonical names long grown familiar? Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs. Likewise the frontline texts, still controversial in some quarters, assume their place in modern American literary history. On the Road serves as Homeric journey epic. "Howl" amounts to Beat anthem, confessional outcry against materialism and war. Naked Lunch, with its dark satiric laughter, envisions a dystopian world of power and word virus. But if these are all essentially America-centered, Beat has also had quite other literary exhalations and which invite far more than mere reception study. These are voices from across the Americas of Canada and Mexico, the Anglophone world of England,...
An intense exploration of Middle Eastern writers of violence and their experiments with ideas of cruelty, deception, madness, rage, war, annihilation, and evil.
