The aim of this study is to investigate Istanbul nostalgia in texts and poems by Yahya Kemal Beyatlı and Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar. The nostalgia of Istanbul in texts belonging to these two intellectuals is closely connected with their conservative thinking style. Therefore, this study will be separated into two main parts. The first part of the study will focus on the appearance of conservatism in Turkey as a thinking style and a result of the East and the West issue. It will be determined in which points Beyatlı and Tanpınar were participating in conservative thinking in Turkey through citations from their original texts as well as second-hand sources about them. The second part of the study will focus on nostalgic Istanbul representations produced by the conservative thinking style of these two intellectuals. For this reason, architectural transformations in the city and the daily life of the city will be taken into account, and it will be determined to what extent these fit the conservative ideals of Beyatlı and Tanpınar and to what extent and by which means they contribute to the production of nostalgic Istanbul representations.

Cultural changes in Turkish society: a comparative study through literature of past and today
Yaman, Öykü; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2018)
This study aims to investigate cultural transformation of Turkish culture by using Turkish literature. According to Karpat (2011), social development can be observed through literature because authors express people’s traditions and values both to glorify and to criticize. Schwartz (1994) also agrees that culture can be derived from various cultural products like folktales. To observe cultural difference, I formed two time periods: (1) was covering Abdülhamid II sultanate and pre-republic years and (2) bega...
Hearing and remembering the voices of women in the Turkish nation building process: Kadinlar Dünyası and Türk Kadın Yolu
Uçak, Deniz; Çıtak Aytürk, Zana Ayşe; Department of International Relations (2018)
This thesis examines the relationship between nationalism and gender with a particular focus on the making of Turkish nationalism and women, based on the analysis of two women’s periodicals: Kadınlar Dünyası and Türk Kadın Yolu. While the former was published in the latest stage of the Ottoman period between 1913 and 1921, coinciding with the emergence and rise of Turkish nationalism, the latter was published after the foundation of the Republic between 1925 and 1927. Accordingly, this thesis tries to under...

A Julia Kristevan analysis of Emily Dickinson and John Milton
Sarıkaya, Merve; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of Foreign Language Education (2007)
This thesis aims to analyze poems by Emily Dickinson and John Milton according to Julia Kristeva’s theories of poetic language and abjection, and to see the extent to which these concepts are applicable to two such different poets and also to see how the poets compare within such analytic framework. Kristeva adapts a psychoanalytic approach to poststructuralist theory. Psychoanalytic criticism with its two leading figures, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, has been analyzed to see its reflections on Kristeva...
