Article Citation - Scopus: 1Alevism in Recent Researches Written in English(Gazi Univ, Turk Kulturu ve Haci Bektas veli, 2010) Kurt, Zeynep; Yilmaz Kurt, Zeynep; İngilizce Mütercimlik ve TercümanlıkAs a religious ethnic group that covers a considerable number of Turkish population, the history of Alevis goes back to the Ottoman-Safavid conflict in the 16(th) and 18(th) centuries. The history of Alevis, however, has not been well recorded, and relevantly researched. Starting from the 1980s, and due to the developing communication technologies and globalization, it has been possible to talk about an "Alevi revival" since the 1980s. This study aims to review the large bulk of research that is done on Alevism since the 1980s. The achieved results display a deep concern with Alevis in contemporary life, their history, traditions and beliefs as well as identity and integration problems of the Diasporas.Article “Things Are Changing Under the Skin of England”: Representation of Immigrant Encounters in Hanif Kureishi’s Borderline(Albanian Society for the Study of English, 2017) Koç, Ertuğrul; Demir, Y.; Demir, Yağmur; İngilizce Mütercimlik ve Tercümanlık; İngiliz Dili ve EdebiyatıThis paper analyses Hanif Kureishi’s lesser known play Borderline (1981). In this work, written under the influence of 1980 Southall Riots, Kureishi addresses the problems of immigrants living in England and depicts how the idea of Englishness is challenged by the immigrants who are engaged in racist politics, suffer from identity crisis, and strive to gain a sense of belonging. Both first-generation and second generation immigrants who are unable to feel the sense of belonging in the host land (England) are depicted as occupying in-between spaces. A portrait of an immigrant Pakistani family, each member of which goes through different stages of adjusting themselves to the society they have joined is presented along with other immigrant characters in the play. To fight with the injustice and racial abuse, a group of second-generation immigrants establish an organisation called Asian Youth Movement. Although it is implied that England and English people are not ready yet to embrace other cultures, immigrants, especially second generation immigrants, endeavour to make England “habitable.” In the play, Pakistani immigrants are portrayed as subject to certain changes during the integration process, which in the long-term will have permanent effects on English national identity, culture and society. This paper aims to display how immigrants (despite being considered a threat) try to overcome the difficulties they face in the host land, and in the meantime inevitably make a change in the English culture. © Albanian Society for the Study English (ASSE).Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Vampire Versus the Empire: Bram Stoker's Reproach of Fin-De Britain in Dracula(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) Koc, Ertugrul; Demir, YagmurArticle Changes in the Teaching of Literature: a Study of Practices in the English Language and Literature Department at Cankaya University During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Cakirlar, Ozkan; Uzundemir, Ozlem; Guvenc, Ozge Ustundag; Saglam, Berkem; Üstündağ Güvenç, ÖzgeDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, academics and students have had to respond to the unexpected and unplanned shift from face-to-face to online teaching. Since teaching and learning through online portals has been a new experience, this has prompted the academics in the English Language and Literature Department at Cankaya University to seek alternative and creative ideas to promote student productivity, participation and motivation. The aim of this case study is to discuss how the course materials, teaching methods and assessment have been redesigned to meet the needs of online education during the pandemic. With the examples from changes in the syllabi, student survey and sample student responses, this study also reveals how the academics in the department have had an opportunity to re-evaluate systems of teaching both on and offline and to refresh their role as instructors.Article A Maid Came Free: From Sighting To Citing in Tracy Chevalier's Girl With a Pearl Earring(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Uzundemir, OzlemTracy Chevalier's ekphrastic novel Girl with a Pearl Earring explores the relationship between literature and art, as it narrates Jan Vermeer's paintings from the perspective of the story's narrator, Griet, who works as a maid in the Vermeers's house. In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter's assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer's art. This article will deal with Griet's transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely colour, light and realistic representation, as well as the paragone between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.
