Arab sources on the life of galen
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Starr, Peter Jonathan; 144003; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
This paper contains a summary of the chapter on Galen’s life provided by Ibn Abi Usaybi’a. The Galen section shows the impressive range of the material on which a medieval Syrian physician, historian and bibliophile, could draw. Where the versions and fragments of information available to him are otherwise lost, the details he provides are of particular importance. At the same time it is clear that in the East the biography of Galen underwent some curious transformations, just as a large number of spurious works were in circulation. This paper also looks at little-known references to Galen which show his significance for medieval writers
Ayla Kutlu’s kadın destanı and the modification of the epic
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2005) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Ayla Kutlu's Kadın Destanı and the Modification of the Epic:Ayla Kutlu uses historical events in her fiction to make a correspondence between the past and the present, because she sees the historical background as the determining factor of what happens at present (Kutlu 9). Kutlu's work Kadın Destanı (Woman's Epic), published in 1994, is a rewriting of Gilgamesh from the viewpoint of a harlot who is abused by Gilgamesh. The female narrator of Kutlu's epic, Liyotani, talks about her suffering at the temple of Gilgamesh, while she narrates his story. Like Gilgamesh, Liyotani emphasizes the significance of writing, but their aim is different: while Gilgamesh desires to become immortal by engraving his story on clay tablets, Liyotani wants to finish writing her story before she dies in order to share her suffering with other women. In terms of form, Kutlu modifies the epic genre, which can be defined as .A long narrative poem in elevated style presenting characters of high position in adventures forming an organic whole through their relation to a central heroic figure and through their development of episodes important to the history of a nation or race. (Holman and Harmon 171). Although Kutlu.s epic is a narrative written in the form of a poem, the main character is a harlot, not a hero of a nation. Kutlu changes some characteristics of the epic to include heroines and their suffering in a patriarchal society. The aim of this paper is to show how Ayla Kutlu rewrites Gilgamesh and modifies the epic genre to connect women.s experience in the past with their present situation.
British national identity, topicality and tradition in the poetry of Simon Armitage
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) B.coussens, Catherine; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
This paper explores the treatment of British national identity, topicality and tradition in the work of Simon Armitage, alongside broader issues concerning contemporary public poetry in Britain. Armitage, with Carol Ann Duffy, is a major candidate for the position of Poet Laureate in 2009. Both poets have explored constructions of national identity in their work, but it is Armitage who has located himself more assertively within the arena of public, national poetry. Despite his focus on modern life-styles and discourses, and deployment of the mass media to disseminate his poetry into non-literary public spaces, Armitage is particularly sensitive to literary and cultural tradition. Within his work, which is deliberately accessible and contemporary, tradition is always at play in terms of allusion, response and interrogation. In this sense, his poetry both occupies and challenges notions of canonicity and traditional conceptions of British national identity. His recent focus on the theme of conflict also works to expose the inadequacy of mainstream assertions of continuity and meaning when constructing national identity. Armitage places Britishness and British literature within a broader ‘Millennial’ schema of eclipse, destruction and regeneration. For Armitage the recurrence of the theme of conflict throughout literary history both connects the literature of the present day with that of the past and emphasises the future’s instability and eternal lack of resolution. Therefore, Armitage’s modern translations of canonical texts like the Odyssey and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight foreground the fact that disharmony and conflict are, and have always been, national preoccupations

Challenges to Ekphrastic Poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude”
(2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Ekphrasis rests on the paragone between the sister arts, namely verbal and visual arts, the word and the image. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his Laocoön claims that the image is silent and fixed while the literary work is based on voice and action. W. J. T. Mitchell in his Picture Theory enlarges this binary opposition between the word and image in terms of gender roles: the female image versus the male word. The female image is objectified and gazed, while the male author/artist is the subject and the gazer. The poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s poem “Standing Female Nude” challenges such binary oppositions by giving voice not to the male artist but to his female model, and by attributing the role of gazing to her. Hence, the aim of this article is to display how Duffy deconstructs the ekphrastic tradition in her poem in order to subvert the domineering relationship between the artist and his model.
Challenges to ekphrastic poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “standing female nude”
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Bir görsel sanat yapıtını betimleyen şiirler, yazınsal metinler ve görsel sanatlar arasındaki farkların ortaya çıkmasını sağlarlar. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’in Laocoön adlı kitabında sözünü ettiği gibi sanat yapıtı sessiz ve durağan olmasına karşın, yazınsal metin söze ve harekete dayanır. W. J. T. Mitchell Picture Theory adlı kitabında söz ve imge arasındaki böylesi ikili karşıtlığı cinsiyet rollerini de içerecek şekilde genişletir. İmge dişil, söz ise eril olarak ele alınır. Dişil imge bakılan nesne olmasına karşın, erkek yazar/sanatçı özne ve bakan konumundadır. Carol Ann Duffy “Standing Female Nude” adlı şiirinde, bu tür ikili karşıtlıkları sorgulayabilmek için erkek sanatçı yerine kadın modele söz hakkı verir ve bakma edimini de model üstlenir. Böylece, Duffy anlatıcının ister sanat yapıtı sahibi, ister sanatçının kendisi, isterse de yapıta bakan bir erkek olduğu resimbetimsel şiir geleneğini reddederek sanatçı ve modeli arasındaki güç ilişkisini sorgular.
Configuration of Transient Shelters As Alternative Spaces Through Nomadic Acts in Doris Lessing'S
(Cyprus International University, 2019) Güvenç, Özge; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Doris Lessing's short story "An Old Woman and Her Cat" from her collection, The Temptation of Jack Orkney, revolves around the nomadic experiences of an old and homeless woman in various places and her survival under poor living circumstances with her cat. The places occupied by the old woman in this story such as the Council flats, the room in the slum and the ruined flat in a wealthy neighbourhood cannot be considered as proper homes where people have a sense of belonging; rather, they are just material places she tries to appropriate as shelters temporarily on the way without a feeling of warmth and attachment to them. Focusing on the woman and the cat's relationship with their surrounding provides a discussion on space and nomadism within the framework of Henri Lefebvre's spatial tripartite - the perceived, the conceived and the lived - which is related to Rosi Braidotti's theory on nomadism. It also reveals the social norms and values, which disregard an old woman and her cat's struggle for life in a metropolis. Therefore, this article aims to discuss not only the material qualities of transient places in London and their conceived perspective which segregates the poor and the homeless from the wealthy but also the old woman's configuration of alternative spaces for herself out of the ruins without a sense of home.

İçbütünlük sorunu ve modern politik ahlak
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2015) Aral, Halide; 140184; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
This article is about the question of integrity in modern political ethics. It regards modern political practice as unethical and relates it to the change in political philosophy introduced by Machiavelli;the sensate civilization of the West in Sorokin’s terms; and the prometeic culture which developed, as Schubart claims, with the Renaissance. Then, it argues that making integrity the central virtue in politics will contribute to the development of ethical political practice.

Male Friendship As Masculine Individuation in Romeo and Juliet
(2016) Aral, Halide; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
The purpose of this essay is to analyse from a Jungian perspective how heroic masculinity and Christianity, due to their negative attitude toward the feminine, problematize masculine individuation and cause tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. Although all male characters in Verona fall short of the mature masculinity that could come with developing a relation to the feminine, I focus on Romeo and Mercutio whose problematic development clarifies man’s difficulty with integrating the feminine without forgoing the masculine structure. Romeo, the puer, who represents the spirit, suffers from a positive mother complex. Mercutio, the trickster, the dark side of the puer, represents the body which is considered evil by Christianity, and has a disturbed relation to the feminine. Hence he compensates for, completes, and gives body to Romeo who is otherwise nothing but the spirit. Being the evil component, Mercutio is essential to the individuation process, and with his simultaneous resistance to and what seems to be an unconscious identification with the feminine, Mercutio serves as a medium through which Shakespeare presents what we may now call, following Eugene Monick’s model, bisexual androgyny as an alternative to heroic masculinity. But this potential as embodied in Mercutio is wasted tragically by the heroic masculinity in Verona.

Nature, Criticism Of The World, And Love In “Dover Beach” And “Love Among The Ruıns”
(2015) Güneş, Ayşe; 53100; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” and Robert Browning’s “Love among the Ruins” have been analyzed comparatively with other poems. However, there has not been a comparative study of these two poems written by two Victorian poets, and such a study is valuable as these poems have common qualities. To cite a few, in both poems, nature is a prevalent theme portrayed through ambivalent images, and the world is criticized for different reasons. These reasons are loss of faith in “Dover Beach” and foul human nature in “Love among the Ruins,” and war in both of them. In relation to the theme of criticism against the world, change is a concept portrayed through contemplation of the past. In “Dover Beach,” this change is expressed through the depiction of loss of faith, and in “Love among the Ruins,” the change is physical within the context of a fallen empire. Love is appreciated in both poems for different reasons. In “Dover Beach,” it is the only saviour, and in “Love among the Ruins,” it is considered as a peaceful and eternal force. This paper attempts to make a further study to compare “Dover Beach” and “Love among the Ruins” which share remarkable thematic similarities as well as differences in terms of their imagery of nature, criticism against the world, and appreciation of love.
Once an insider, now an outsider: Doris Lessing’s African laughter
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Doris Lessing’s African Laughter is a travel book including her four visits in 1982, 1988, 1989 and 1992 to Africa, the place where her childhood memories belong to. Pleased to hear the end of the white man’s supremacy, she traveled to the country, not only to visit her friends and relatives but also to observe the social and political changes that took place after the country gained its independence. The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamism Lessing observes in Zimbabwe, namely the political controversies, the blending of cultures and the continuation of the colonial hatred in people’s attitudes and lifestyle as well as to evaluate her visits as inward journeys to her past through an emphasis on the fallibility of memory.
Reframing Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar in Grace Nicols’s ‘Weeping Woman
(Uluslararası Kıbrıs Üniversitesi, 2018) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
The Guyanese poet Grace Nichols’s ekphrastic poem “Weeping Woman” in her Picasso, I Want My Face Back challenges Pablo Picasso’s iconic status in twentieth-century art. Written in the form of a dramatic monologue, the poem gives voice to Picasso’s model, muse and lover, Dora Maar, who was a Surrealist photographer before she had an affair with Picasso. Unlike traditional ekphrastic poems which involve the description of a fixed, silenced and gazed beautiful image through a male persona who is also a gazer of that image in poetry, Nichols transforms Maar’s objectified position in Picasso’s painting into a subject by voicing her critique of the artist’s cubist art, his use of colors as well as his geometric figures, and of his maltreatment of her. Through this ekphrastic stance, Maar reconstructs her identity as a photographer and rids herself from the artist’s domination over her in his art and personal life. Hence, the aim of this article is to discuss in what ways Nichols’s poem problematizes the privileged status of the male artist over his silenced female model and acknowledges the artistic talent of the woman through the use of ekphrasis.
The “Morally Ideal Woman” in Middlemarch
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2012) Demir, Yağmur; 30410; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
As a Victorian novelist, George Eliot depicts the 19th century English society and its system of values with respect to class stratification in her novel Middlemarch. Three main social classes of English society- aristocracy, middle-class, and working class- are rendered in detail with the help of three women figures representing the classes. With realistic representations related to society, Eliot lets the reader reach conclusions about the events and characters. The readers are introduced to the moral values of the classes, and the implicit moral teachings of Eliot. In this frame, Dorothea, Rosamond, and Mary are portrayed as the products of their classes’ moral values, aristocracy, middle class and working class respectively

The Interrelatedness Of Character and Nature In Katherine Mansfield’s “prelude”
(2017) Güvenç, Özge; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Katherine Mansfield’s contribution to the development of short story genre is related to her use of nature imagery, through which the characters are revealed. Many of her stories use the garden as setting and dwell on the difference between the outer and inner space, focusing specifically on the experience of female characters. In her short story “Prelude”, which recounts the story of the Burnell family’s move from town to a new house with a garden in the country, Mansfield emphasizes the interrelatedness of character and nature. Through the juxtaposition of wild nature with nature created by human beings, particularly the garden and the aloe tree in this story, she shows the inner states of her characters as well as the different relationships between the individual and the place s/he lives in. Ecofeminism, which correlates issues of nature and environment to the situation of women, emphasizes that characters cannot be thought in isolation from their physical surroundings. Hence, in this paper I will analyze Mansfield’s story “Prelude” from an ecofeminist perspective by highlighting the analogy between nature/woman and culture/man to show how the writer puts more emphasis on the former of the dualisms through the valorization of women and nature.
The Mediterranean Sea and the Impact of Its Geographical Space and Cosmology upon Shakespeare’s Characters in Pericles
(2022) Ekmekçioğlu, Fatma Neslihan; 145553; 02.01. İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Multiple representations of space and geography in Pericles can be evaluated from different points of view. The sea in Pericles witnesses the nativity of Pericles’s child, Marina and the burial of his wife, Thaisa within a chest. The natural elements lead the casket in which Thaisa is buried to the shore of Ephesus. Thaisa can be thought as the treasure of the deep. Her casket is discovered after a turbulent and stormy night by Cerimon who brings her back to life. The remarks regarding the wondrous meteorological phenomenon of the tempest point to the symptoms of an earthquake which caused the billow, the swelling of the sea which delivered the chest of Thaisa’s supposedly dead body to the seacoast. All the sudden turns and unpredictable events display the life experiences of Pericles who wanders in the Mediterranean Sea for many years. Shakespeare’s maritime imagination reveals a profound ontological relationship between the sea and human maturation in the sense of reaching a higher level of humanity. The ocean with its tempests and shipwrecks mostly contributes to sudden shifts in human lives and brings a kind of transformation in the lives of Shakespeare’s characters. In Pericles, the Mediterranean Sea with the impact of its geographical space and cosmology brings hope and despair, life and death as well as changes in Pericles’s life. The sea also witnesses the revival of life with magic and music at the seashore of Ephesus. My paper will deal with the multi-faceted geographical space of the Mediterranean Sea and its impact on character development in Shakespeare’s Pericles.
