Rethinking Early Socialist Literature in Turkey

A Postcolonial Critique of Neoliberal Multiculturalism
This article formulates a critical theoretical framework for interrogating neoliberal multiculturalism through a postcolonial lens, advancing three interconnected critiques: (1) the objectification of the Other, (2) the globalisation of the local within Eurocentric epistemologies, and (3) the operation of postmodern racism through conditional inclusivity. It argues that neoliberal multiculturalism, rather than dismantling systemic inequities, ope…
Reading The Good Deed Through Biopolitical Governance
This article develops a biopolitical reading of Helen Benedict's The Good Deed (2024) and argues that the novel presents the refugee camp not as an exceptional humanitarian space but as a dispersed apparatus of governance that operates through documentation, biometric capture, translation procedures, and humanitarian interventions. By analyzing scenes of waiting, interviews, and evidentiary tests, the article shows how refugees are made continuou…
Margins of Legibility
This article examines the socio-legal construction of a marginal figure known as Cinci Arab, whose actions sparked judicial and communal controversy in 1641 Bursa. Drawing systematically on three archival documents—a lawsuit, an imperial decree, and an amicable settlement—this study employs a microhistorical approach to interrogate the interplay between local and imperial authorities and explores how selective visibility, reputational ambiguity, …
Contemporary Refugee Literature
In the twenty-first century, millions have been forcibly displaced due to ethno-religious conflicts, socio-political instability, and economic crises, turning migration into a global phenomenon. The traumatic realities of refugees – imprisonment, torture, loss, discrimination, and marginalisation – have increasingly become subjects of academic inquiry across multiple disciplines. Literature has also played a crucial role in representing these com…
Representing the Romani ‘other’ in contemporary Turkish fiction
This article interrogates the representation of the Romani ‘other’ in Ayşegül Devecioğlu’s Ağlayan Dağ Susan Nehir (2007) within the epistemic shifts that have reconfigured Turkish literary discourse in the post-1980 period. The article argues that the novel, emerging from the transition from class-based to identity-oriented paradigms of oppression, employs spatial, cultural and discursive frameworks to unveil the structural mechanisms that gover…
Formation of an academic diaspora
The internationalisation of higher education has revealed the importance of understanding the formation and dynamics of academic diasporas. Most studies focus on cohesive academic diasporas, overlooking fragmentation in diasporas as a central concern. In this paper, we define and theorise fragmented academic diaspora. The emergence of a highly fragmented diaspora of scholars from Turkey in the British higher education sector presents an ideal opp…
Narratives of resistance and political activism in post-1980 Turkish literature
This article offers a comparative critique of Latife Tekin’s Gece Dersleri (1986) and Muzaffer Oruçoğlu’s Tohum (1992) as antithetical engagements with the crisis of leftist militancy in 1970s Turkey. Framing post-1980 literature as a site of epistemological struggle, the study interrogates how these texts mobilize divergent aesthetic paradigms to reconfigure the memory of political defeat. Gece Dersleri disarticulates revolutionary grand narrati…
Refugee narratives in contemporary Turkish literature
The experiences of refugees have recently become a key theme in modern Turkish literature, as the refugee “crisis” has turned into a central issue for Turkey since the 2010s. This article explores contemporary Turkish literature’s engagement with the refugee experience and demonstrates how refugee narratives in Turkish literature transcend ideological divides to emphasize the human dimension of displacement. Through an analysis of three literary …
Imperialism and literature
Postcolonial theory perceives the world as divided between the coloniser and the colonised, thus indirectly reproducing the centrality of the West. For this reason, in literary studies, postcolonial theory fails to cover the literatures of those nations which were not colonised in a typical sense but rather occupied by Western imperialism, as was the case with Ottoman Turkey. This necessitates a convergent theoretical framework that might help ev…
Kamila Shamsie’ni̇n Home Fire Adli Romani
Home Fire (2017) by Kamila Shamsie fictionally reveals the security concerns and identity crises of British Muslims through the represented experiences of its minor and major characters from a Muslim background and literalises the process in which the ‘otherised’ struggle to be recognised, acknowledged and included through the reconstitution of the ‘self’ in relation to the discursively ‘legitimate’ narratives of the mainstream ‘white’ society. I…
Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West
In Exit West, Mohsin Hamid fictionally reimagines and universalises migrant/refugee experience by providing a realistic snapshot of the social, cultural, economic and political circumstances in their specific historical forms and reveals the psychology of loss, displacement and unbelonging leading to the victimisation of the protagonists in a foreign land. In order to critically analyse the victimisation of the refugee characters at a linguistic …
Migration, Metaphor and Myth in Media Representations
By focussing on the dichotomized metaphorical strategy and myth creation, this study aims to analyze how the U.S. and the European Union (EU) media respond to the entrenched metaphor of migration and refugee "crisis". In this respect, the U.S. and the EU media sources covering the time period from 2015 to 2016 were collected and analyzed in the theoretical framework of conceptual metaphor theory and critical metaphor analysis. By applying the met…
