Queer Turkey
Before President Erdogan's repressive politics took hold, queer cultures were more visible than ever in Turkey. Queer Turkey offers a broad range of reflections on queer Turkish cultures within a transnational, Euro-American context. Based on his experience in Istanbul, Ralph J. Poole shares his impressions of queer desires between Muslim tradition and global pop, observes what goes on in the hamam, and wonders about Arabesk culture. The book features discussions of queer travel writers, poets, playwrights, and film directors. Their multifarious works manifest the subtle and subversive ways in which artists crisscross the cultural borders of East and West. With its many facets of Turkish-Euro-American cultural interactions, Queer Turkey outlines a kaleidoscope of transnational poetics.
Ottoman Propaganda and Turkish Identity
The Great War was the first example of a total war in history, reflected in the cultures and literatures of Europe in the shape of propaganda. What began as civic patriotism developed into a weapon of war, programmed and organized by the state to devastating effect. In almost all countries, writers of different ideological hues were ready to undertake the job of representing the war, in accordance with the state's guidance. War propaganda in the Ottoman Empire, the most anachronistic belligerent of the war according to historians, was condemned to failure. In the underdeveloped and multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman-Turkish intelligentsia could not produce adequate propaganda to suppor...
Abdullah Gül and the Making of the New Turkey
Drawing on original research, including personal interviews with President Abdullah Gül as well as his wife and close circle of colleagues and friends, this fascinating account offers readers a portrait of a man who has been at the heart of the political, economic and cultural developments that have brought Turkey to international prominence in recent years. In 2002 Abdullah Gül’s democratically-elected party gained power and challenged Turkey’s republican and secular legacy, and shortly after Gül led Turkey’s attempts to receive an accession date for the European Union. In 2007 he became the first president of Turkey with a background in Islamic politics – causing political commentators to hail his victory as a “new era in Turkish politics” – and he has, ever since, been a major figure in Turkey’s diplomatic relationships in the Middle East and international political arena. Gerald MacLean’s absorbing biography of this significant politician throws light on important episodes of Turkey’s recent history.
Türk Edebiyatı ve Birinci Dünya Savaşı (1914-1918): Propagandadan Milli Kimlik İnşasına
Birinci Dünya Savaşı, ülkemizde yeterince araştırılmamış bir konudur. Bu savaş ile edebiyat ve propaganda arasındaki ilişki ise neredeyse bütünüyle ihmal edilmiştir. Erol Köroğlu’nun kitabı işte bu boşluğu dolduruyor. Propaganda alanındaki başarının ülkelerin gelişmişliğine göre değiştiğine işaret eden yazar, Osmanlı Devleti’nin bu yöndeki çabalarını ve başarısızlığını derinlemesine araştırıyor. Yazara göre, ulus-devlet oluşumu açısından bütün dost ve düşmanlarının gerisinde kalan, propaganda için gerekli maddî altyapıdan yoksun olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, edebiyat ve kültürünü seferber etmekte çok zorlanmıştı. Os...
