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.

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...

This study aims to explore the processes of becoming in Peter Reading’s Perduta Gente and Evagatory and Maggie O’Sullivan’s In the House of the Shaman and Palace of Reptiles by concentrating on the spatial, corporeal and performative politics in their poetry within a theoretical framework based on Deleuze and Guattari’s nomad thought and their revisionary ideas on the politics of body, space and subjectivity. This study also investigates how nomadism as a critical category enables an exploration of the form...

Self-reflexivity in postmodernist texts : a comparative study of the works of John Fowles and Orhan Pamuk
Saraçoğlu, Semra; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of Foreign Language Education (2003)
This dissertation makes a comparative analysis of the self-reflexivity in the novels of one British and one Turkish writer - John Fowles and Orhan Pamuk. The study restricts itself to three novels by each writer. In making this analysis under the light of Robert Scholes₂s theory of "reality, "and making use of Linda Hutcheon's classification of self-reflexivity, and Jacque Lacan's The Mirror Stage, it is argued that both Fowles and Pamuk create worlds within worlds which are similar to but different from ea...
