Article The Problematic of Reading Generic Signals in Parodic Discourse(2013) Kırca, MustafaThe aim of this study is to analyze the double-function of generic signals in double-voiced discourse of parody which involves by its nature the parodied and the parodying voices simultaneously. The paper claims that generic signals, which are supposed to be working mostly at an unconscious level to create a generic context for the reader in interpreting a text, become double-voiced by the parodist’s manipulation and work at a conscious level. It is common that the parody writer barrows and appropriates generic signals of the genre he parodies to indicate the parodied genre and also his departure from this genre. Parodic intentions become palpable immediately with the „parodic stylization” — to use Bakhtin’s term — of the generic signals, which brings about the Bakhtinian refraction of the authorial voice in parody. Since the parody writer intentionally appropriates the speech of the prodied genre, authorial refractions become clearer in parodic discourse. Through studying such refractions with a particular emphasis on genre parodies and specific examples from Cervantes’ Don Quijote, the present study argues that generic signals in parodic discourse assume the double-function of signaling the parodied genre and the parodying voice simultaneously. In order to show how generic signals assume a highly communicative function in parody, this study focuses on texts where the author parodies not a single writer and a single work, but a whole genre with its conventions. As a genre parody which aims for the governing discourse behind the genre it imitates, Cervantes’ Don Quijote produce significant examples that the double-function of generic signals can be seen explicitly through the authorial refractions in the text.Book The Victorians and the novelists: from Dickens to Hardy(Barış Platin, 2010) Koç, ErtuğrulArticle Fear and Wish-fulfilling Flights of Fancy: Walpole’s Nightmare of Class Conflict and the Restoration of Aristocracy in The Castle of Otranto(2014) Koç, Ertuğrul; Atcan Altan, NeslihanThis article discusses The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole as the first gothic work dramatizing, through the theme of “usurpation”, the emergence of the new but “greedy” bourgeoisie in England in the eighteenth century as a threat against the long-established, and from Walpole’s perspective, “divinely ordered” aristocratic system. Au fait with the worries and expectations of aristocracy, for he is the son of Robert Walpole (the first Prime Minister of England), and a member of nobility and the Parliament, Walpole, in his work, cannot help defending the established system against the emerging bourgeois paradigm. In the article, Walpole’s concern with the chaotic state of his country, which he reveals through building a devastating class conflict in Otranto, will be analyzed with the help of biographical, historical, and Marxist approaches. Finally, by referring to the Freudian theory of “wish-fulfillment through dreams”, Walpole’s solution for the conflict will be shown to be a self-gratifying one, satisfying the author’s aristocratic selfBook Part Naipaul's the mimic men: The colonized man's attempts to transgress the boundaries(Peter Lang AG, 2017) Demir, Y.Book Part Mapping Cultural Identities and Intersections: Imagological Readings(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2019) Botezat, Onorina; Kırca, MustafaArticle Citation - Scopus: 3Sadness Metaphors and Metonymies in Turkish Body Part Idioms(Bogazici University Press, 2019) Baş, M.; Nalan Büyükkantarcıoğlu, S.; Büyükkantarcıoğlu, S. NalanThis study examines the conceptualizations of the negative emotion sadness in Turkish body part idioms. More specifically, it addresses two main problems: (i) distribution of the body part terms used in idioms to express sadness, and (ii) conceptual metaphors and metonymies underlying the body part idioms that express sadness. The data of the study includes the idioms, which contain body part terminologies and communicate sadness. Conceptual metaphors and metonymies were identified following Barcelona (1997) and Kövecses (2000). The findings reveal that the body parts heart (yürek, kalp) and liver/lung (ciğer) are more productive in Turkish for the conceptualization of sadness. Among the conceptual mappings identified, PHYSICAL DAMAGE is the most typical one with the highest number of linguistic items. Turkish data provide insights on the cultural-cognitive model of sadness, as well as on the embodied nature of emotions. © 2019 Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yayınevi, İstanbul.Editorial B/orders unbound: Marginality, ethnicity and identity in literatures(Peter Lang AG, 2017) Okuroğlu Özün, Şule; Kırca, MustafaContemporary literature concerns itself with transgressing borders and destabilizing hierarchical orders. Border crossing to question the given limits and orthodox beliefs brings many disciplines and diverse experiences together, and the result is a myriad of ways of expressing the alternatives when the established boundaries are liberated. The volume presents fifteen essays and brings together many academics and scholars who share a common interest in transgressing borders in literatures. The book is determined to encourage border violations, and each paper tackles the issue of border crossing in different realms and territories.Editorial Mapping Cultural Identities and Intersections(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2018) Kırca, MustafaOther Eskilerin Bilgeliği(Bilge Su Yayıncılık, 2018) Aral, HalideEskilerin Bilgeliği'ni Bacon 1609'da yayımlar.
