The Lemon Table as a Collection of Stories of Absence
Doğan, Buket (2018-12-13)
In his collection of short stories, Julian Barnes mainly focuses on the themes of loss and death. Through their stories, Barnes’ characters are depicted in glimpses in their long journey which is from their early life to their very old age. Starting from the very first story titled “A Short History of Hairdressing,” the main character’s kind of metamorphosis into an old man is narrated with ruptures and gaps which seem to be loopholes to be completed for the reader. That the narrator leaves these means of ...
The end: the apocalyptic in in-yer-face drama

The growing desert: nihilism and metaphysics in Martin Heidegger's thought
Duman, Musa; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2009)
In this study, we explore Heidegger’s understanding of nihilism as the essential dimension of metaphysics, of metaphysical experience of Being, and in the following, we address his responses to it. Heidegger takes nihilism as rooted in the metaphysical way of thinking, hence metaphysics and nihilism standing in a primordial identity. Such metaphysical way of thinking as a framework in which Being is experinced and articulated, explicitly or implicitly in all areas of Western culture, from art to science, gi...
