Article Dispossessed Homes: Remembering Cyprus in the Aftermath of Conflict(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Pancaroglu, Seda BaharThis paper will interrogate the reconfiguration of "home" in the context of the Cyprus conflict, as depicted in Christy Lefteri's novel A Watermelon, a Fish, and a Bible. The long history of ethnic and political tensions between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities escalated with political instability and reached its peak in 1974. Set during the heated midst of the 1974 conflict, Lefteri's novel offers multiple meanings of home through shifting focalisation. This study combines focalisation from narratology with Henri Lefebvre's the Production of Space, enriched by theories surrounding the notion of home. This analytical framework enables a comprehensive exploration of how narrative perspectives both shape and reflect the phenomenology of space in literature, particularly within conflict zones. This approach is particularly relevant for analysing divided or contested geographies, such as Cyprus in Christy Lefteri's A Watermelon, a Fish, and a Bible. By examining how characters perceive and navigate their surroundings, the analysis will reveal how "home", once seen as secure, familiar, or sacred, is redefined by conflict and how new meanings emerge in moments of crisis. It also highlights the dialogic nature of spatial experience in literature, where multiple perspectives on space can coexist, clash, and influence each other, reflecting the complexity of lived experience in a divided realm.Article Comparative Literature in the Turkish Context: Past, Present and Possible Trajectories(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kirca, Mustafa; Baktir, H.This article aims to offer a concise analysis and evaluation of the historical trajectory and the current state of comparative literature in Turkey with a particular focus on its interdisciplinary nature. Additionally, it seeks to explore the development of comparative literature and translation studies in the Turkish context, aiming to reassess the seemingly close relationship between these adjacent fields within the context of Turkish literature, which can, we believe, encourage border-crossings in comparative and translation studies and open a space for newfangled approaches in comparative studies of translated literature.

The Turkish poet Nazmi A & gbreve;& imath;l's two ekphrastic poems 'Bruegel: The Landscape as Icarus Falls' and 'Auden's Icarus' are retellings of the myth with reference to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, and W. H. Auden's 'Mus & eacute;e des Beaux Arts'. If ekphrasis is the representation of a work of art in literature, then A & gbreve;& imath;l's poems are re-representations of both verbal and visual frames by critiquing Auden's interpretation from the mouth of a storyteller Kamil in the former poem and Daedalus in the latter. A & gbreve;& imath;l's aim in alluding to the Western sources is to highlight political issues in Turkey. This paper, then, argues how A & gbreve;& imath;l's poems complicate the reading process by playing with verbal and visual frames.
