However, they have failed to attend adequately to the deliberate focus on women and female cultural authority within the literature associated with the “royalist cultural rebellion” (the movement that sought to preserve and recall the ethos and identity of the banished Stuart court). While male poets adopted a self-mocking tone when advertising their artistic dependence on female patrons, alluding self-consciously to their own “feminised” retirement, women’s active role in commissioning, preserving, disseminating and composing royalist literature suggests that their cultural importance was enhanced by the conditions of the Interregnum. Both royalist and parliamentarian propagandists exploited anti-feminist satire to condemn what they saw as illegitimate forms of government. However, royalist traditionalists overtly connected elite royalist women with the ethos and situation of the eclipsed Stuart monarchy, and sought to address a burgeoning female readership by stressing women’s advantages under the Crown. Royalist women in turn responded to these cultural constructions of royalism and femininity, creating powerful authorial identities that would remain potent after the Restoration in 1660Article Yabancı dil öğretim ve öğreniminde eski ve yeni yöntemlere yeni bir bakış(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2006) Tosun, CengizDuring the early years of the millennium, it will be useful for us to understand better the future of learning and teaching of foreign languages by scanning shortly what happened in the last quarter of the 20th C. just before making predictions about what kinds of trend and novelty will take place in them. Indeed, the facts experienced in the last quarter led to some drastic changes in our beliefs about the nature of language and learning as well as the theories in education, and which has led inevitably to change in the ways of practice in classroom due to the novelties concluded by the scientific research. Before the assessment of the principal methods, we should know something about the traditional three-fold concepts of teaching and learning such as approach, method and technique and about their reconceptualized forms called approach, design and procedure respectively. The results achieved through the traditional methods and approaches in the field of foreign language teaching and learning have satisfied no one in spite of the unending efforts by students and teachers, great cost to schools and parents. Most of the students who spent their years in classrooms to learn a foreign language cannot use the language or go on repeating the predictable responses by grammatical patterns and certain vocabulary unaware of the communication expected of them outside the classroom. Although the students have got considerable knowledge about the language, they do not know how to use that knowledge for communication. That is why they should be helped with the teachers who will tell them that language is not only of grammatical patterns and some vocabulary, and who bring in classroom the examples of authentic language of the real outer world, and who will have the students use the language communicatively, and who are equipped with the novel ideas, trends and creative practices through new approaches, designs and procedures.Article Arab sources on the life of galen(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Starr, PeterThis 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 writersArticle Salvation through beauty: Iris Murdoch’s new religion in a godless universe(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Yılmaz Kurt, ZeynepNovelist Iris Murdoch is also a modern philosopher, who is aware of the moral dilemma of the scientific age. For her, morality is the only means of salvation in this age, as she considers morals not related with religion but with metaphysics. Thus, any moral attempt to achieve good is a transcendental experience. This paper explores Murdoch’s moral philosophy with reference to her artist character Tim Reede in Nuns and Soldiers.Article British national identity, topicality and tradition in the poetry of Simon Armitage(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Coussens, CatherineThis 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 preoccupationsArticle The “Morally Ideal Woman” in Middlemarch(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2012) Demir, YağmurAs 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 respectivelyArticle “Social reality versus ontological reality: the differing sense of reality in the great gatsby and heart of darkness(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2007) Yılmaz Kurt, ZeynepF. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is discussed widely for being influenced by Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. This article refers to the relevance of Conradian influences and the parallels between these two novels in terms of narration techniques, plot and characterization. Despite these parallels, however, it is also argued that the two novels reflect reality on different dimensions. It concludes by stating that Fitzgerald shares the same concern with Conrad in narration technique, in characterization and in handling the idea of corruption and civilisation, but their approach to the subject of corruption and civilisation differs. Fitzgerald considers corruption as a social vice, whereas , in Conrad it is associated with human nature altogether. These differing ideas of corruption, as an ontological fact in Conrad and as a social vice in Fitzgerald, prove also that their concept of reality is differentArticle “Under our Cedar’s shadow”: royalist women poets and the English restoration(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2007) Coussens, CatherineThis paper compares the work of three lesser-known royalist women poets (Rachel Jevon, Ann Lee, and the anonymous female author of The Sacred Historie) to explore the subtle ways in which these writers connect their personal literary projects to the specific requirements of the Restoration regime. Despite the strategic emphasis on masculine authority within the numerous panegyrics addressed to the king in the aftermath of the Restoration in 1660, an alternative impulse in female-authored texts configures the return of the monarchy as an event which women are especially qualified to celebrate. In elevating conventionally feminine values, these poets were able to associate themselves with the social and political agenda of the Restoration government, which aimed to reconcile the English people to their past, and ease tensions associated with the Restoration Settlement, the General Pardon, and the Act of Oblivion. Since the civil wars had created distrust and resentment concerning politics and polemic, women poets could exploit their position as literary and political “outsiders” to justify their rehearsal of the role of “public” poet. However, in promoting their own specific interests, as loyalists whose families had suffered for the Crown, women poets also assert their own hopes for the future path of the monarchy, reminding the king of the significance of his traditional supporters, and emphasising his duty to subordinate himself to God and the English ChurchArticle Bibliyoterapi(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2007) Öner, UğurBibliotherapy as a counceling technique is, in short, a way of bringing together the right person with the right book at the right time. Using books in psyhological counceling has a long history. Bibliotherapy starts when the reader catches the dynamic relationship between the story and his/her personality, and progresses on the following three stages which are defined as (1) identification and reflection (2) catharsis and (3) gaining insight and integration. Bibliotherapy begins with the preparation stage during which the councelor must choose the right books. Eventhough it sounds to be an easy technique of counceling, it is important for psychological councelors and educators to be efficient in implementing bibliotherapy. They must clarify their aims and they must also be aware of the limitations of this technique. In this article, the importance of stories in human life and its usage as a a means of counceling through bibliotherapy are defined
