Perpetual Exile: Legacies of a Disrupted Century
The transnational configuration of contemporary German literature cannot be detached from its historical continuum, since such a separation would render the archive of histories of exile in and out of Germany inconsistent and incomplete. Bringing literary histories of exile in a dialogue, in this instance, Exilliteratur, represented by prominent German authors, who, during the Second World War, immigrated to Southern California (Thomas Mann, Hein…

Excavating Memory: Bilge Karasu's Istanbul and Walter Benjamin's Berlin
Despite its subtitle “Bilge Karasu's Istanbul and Walter Benjamin's Berlin,” this book is not an ordinary comparative study of two writers' memories of their respective cosmopolitan cities. Istanbul and Berlin have often been represented in fictional and critical literature as sites of layered and multifaceted memories. Both cities have served as the setting and even the main character of novels, such as Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz or O…
Erdoğan and the Intellectuals
In an open letter of August 25, 2012, to the then prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the world-renowned Turkish archaeologist and Assyriologist Muazzez İlmiye Çığ, who was 98 at the time, challenged his claim that the ruling AKP (Justice and Development Party) had fortified the economy with an iron web. Responding to Erdoğan's exaggerated assertion that his Islamist politics had not only saved the nation from the brink of economic collapse but …

Is Orientalism in Retreat or in for a New Treat? Halide Edip Adivar and Emine Sevgi Özdamar Write Back
From Istanbul to Berlin: Stations on the Road to a Transcultural/Translational Literature
In this article, I read selected texts of two of the most prominent Turkish born authors of Berlin, Aras Ören and Emine Sevgi Özdamar, as poetic projects of confronting and grasping the vicissitudes of modernity's troubled path both in their homeland and in their experience of German history and culture. My reasons for the emphasis on the work of these writers derives from their various positions between two languages and literary traditions and …

Versohnung und Progression: Zum geschichtsphilosophischen Denken Heinrich Heines
Representation and Its Discontents. The Critical Legacy of German Romanticism
Azade Seyhan provides a concise, elegantly argued introduction to the critical theory of German Romanticism and demonstrates how its approach to the metaphorical and linguistic nature of knowledge is very much alive in contemporary philosophy and literary theory. Her analysis of key thinkers such as Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis explores their views on rhetoric, systematicity, hermeneutics, and cultural interpretation. Seyhan examines German Rom…

Labours of Theory: The Quest for Representation in Early German Romanticism
Under the gaze of German Romantics, the veiled world of the Orient was transformed into a textual space where the I/eye, like Hyazinth in Lehrlinge zu Sais in pursuit of a revelation by Isis, discovers its own reflection behind the veil of the elusive Oriental goddess. The search for Isis is occasioned by a crisis in understanding. Hyazinth's serene life is plunged into turmoil, when one day ein Mann aus fremden Landen (Novalis 1:93) appears in f…

Le mythe du voyage comme supersujet
