Spaces and places of modernity and the modern artist in Oğuz Atay’s “Railroad storytellers – A dream”
This paper examines Atay’s “Railroad Storytellers - A Dream” in terms of Atay’s modernist experimentation in his depiction of space and spatiality, emphasising his contribution to Turkish literature as a pioneer modernist author. Oğuz Atay’s distinctive and innovative style, which forms his affinities with the early Western modernists, establishes his significant place as a pioneer modernist author in Turkish literature in the 1970s. The concept …
The Limits of Translating Postcolonial Experience Into a Foreign Culture
In this twofold study, I will focus on the exilic/ diasporic Nigerian-born black British author Ben Okri as a postcolonial author reflecting the issues of postcolonial literature in his novel The Famished Road from a translational point of view.

This paper explores the role of graphic novels and comics as an alternative to traditional means of language teaching in overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers that exist for the foreign language students at elementary, intermediate and higherlevels. It is argued that since graphic …

In this study, an integrated approach to the teaching of poetry translation is proposed by means of studying Philip Larkin's poem "Mr Bleaney" as the text …
The importance of a comprehensive method in the teaching of literary translation
The emergence of translation studies as an independent discipline contributed to the development of the pedagogy of translation included in a number of higher education programmes. Due to its unique status as a creative and aesthetic product, literary text and its translation into a foreign language and culture deserve a comprehensive method which consists of a balance of theory and practice of literary translation. This paper deals with how such…
