The Turkish poet Nazmi Ağıl'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 'Musée des Beaux Arts'. If ekphrasis is the representation of a work of art in literature, then Ağıl'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. Ağıl's aim in alluding to the Western sources is to highlight political issues in Turkey. This paper, then, argues how Ağıl's poems complicate the reading process by playing with verbal and visual frames.

Pamuk bu romanında 16. yüzyıl Osmanlı sanatçıları ile 20. yüzyıl Türk okuru arasında bir diyalog kurmayı amaçlar. Yazar aynı zamanda romanın postmodern üstkurmaca yapısıyla Doğu ve Batı arasında bir köprü kurmayı da ister. Bu makalenin amacı, Pamuk’un Benim Adım Kırmızı’da Doğu sanatını Batılı yazım tekniklerini kullanarak sunduğunu incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bu yazıda önce nakkaşların Doğu-Batı sanatlarının biçim farklılıklarını ortaya koyan tartışmaları ele alınacak, sonra da romanın yapısı incelenecektir.Orhan Pamuk’s latest novel Benim Adım Kırmzı (My Name is Red) is a historical, detective and love story concerning the 16th century Ottoman nakkaş (a general term for painters, illuminators and miniaturists in Islamic art).

Since teaching and learning through online portals has been a new experience, this has prompted the academics in the English Language and Literature Department at Çankaya University to seek alternative and creative ideas to promote student productivity, participation and motivation. The aim of this case study is to discuss how the course materials, teaching methods and assessment have been redesigned to meet the needs of online education during the pandemic. With the examples from changes in the syllabi, student survey and sample student responses, this study also reveals how the academics in the department have had an opportunity to re-evaluate systems of teaching both on and offline and to refresh their role as instructors.
Ayla Kutlus Kadõn Destanõ and the Modification of the Epic:Ayla Kutlu uses historical events in ... more Ayla Kutlus Kadõn Destanõ and the Modification of the Epic:Ayla Kutlu uses historical events in her fiction to make a correspondence between the past and the present, because she sees the historical background as the determining factor of what happens at present (Kutlu 9). Kutlus work Kadõn Destanõ (Womans Epic), published in 1994, is a rewriting of Gilgamesh from the viewpoint of a harlot who is abused by Gilgamesh. The female narrator of Kutlus epic, Liyotani, talks about her suffering at the temple of Gilgamesh, while she narrates his story. Like Gilgamesh, Liyotani emphasizes the significance of writing, but their aim is different: while Gilgamesh desires to become immortal by engraving his story on clay tablets, Liyotani wants to finish writing her story before she dies in order to share her suffering with other women. In terms of form, Kutlu modifies the epic genre, which can be defined as A long narrative poem in elevated style presenting characters of high position in a...

In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter's assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer's art. This article will deal with Griet's transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely colour, light and realistic representation, as well as the paragone between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.

Gerard Genette’in terminolojisini kullanacak olursak, siir Robert Browning’in “My Last Duchess” (Benim Son Dusesim) adli siirini icerik, dil ve yapi acisindan bir alt metin olarak kullanir. Browning’in dramatik monologunda oldugu gibi, Morrison’un siirinde de isadami olan anlatici susturulmus dinleyicisine, bir yandan eski karisinin olumunu anlatirken, diger yandan sanat koleksiyonunu gosterir. Ancak Dukun anlatimindan farkli olarak, bu siirdeki anlatici karisini oldurdugunu acikca dile getirmez. Ayrica Morrison’un siiri, gercekte var olmayan sanat yapitlarini konu edinen Browning’in siirinin aksine, Francis Bacon’un Papa resmine gondermede bulunur. Bu resim Velazquez’in Pope Innocent X adli resminden esinlenerek yapilan resimler dizisind...

Pleased to hear the end of the white man’s supremacy, she traveled to the country, not only to visit her friends and relatives but also to observe the social and political changes that took place after the country gained its independence. The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamism Lessing observes in Zimbabwe, namely the political controversies, the blending of cultures and the continuation of the colonial hatred in people’s attitudes and lifestyle as well as to evaluate her visits as inward journeys to her past through an emphasis on the fallibility of memory.

Written in the form of a dramatic monologue, the poem gives voice to Picasso's model, muse and lover, Dora Maar, who was a Surrealist photographer before she had an affair with Picasso. Unlike traditional ekphrastic poems which involve the description of a fixed, silenced and gazed beautiful image through a male persona who is also a gazer of that image in poetry, Nichols transforms Maar's objectified position in Picasso's painting into a subject by voicing her critique of the artist's cubist art, his use of colors as well as his geometric figures, and of his maltreatment of her. Through this ekphrastic stance, Maar reconstructs her identity as a photographer and rids herself from the artist's domination over her in his art and personal life. Hence, the aim of this article is to discuss in what ways Nichols's poem problematizes the privileged status of the male artist over his silenced female model and acknowledges the artistic talent of the woman through the use of ekphrasis.
