A bakhtinian analysis of the protagonists’ ethical dilemma in Joseph Conrad's under western eyes and the end of the tether.
Ünal, Nergis; Korkut Naykı, Nil; Department of English Literature (2020)
Conrad’s Under Western Eyes and The End of the Tether dramatize the protagonists’ ethical dilemmas by showing how a character can be “moral” and yet “immoral” at the same time. By looking at the ethical dilemmas presented in the two works, to what extent the protagonists, namely Razumov and Captain Whalley, can be claimed to have good morals is studied through the ethical perspective of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin. The analysis is made through three main points Bakhtin elaborates on in his Towar...
A Foucauldian reading of power in Harry Potter series: speciesism and discrimination based on blood status
Aslan, Sümeyye Güllü; Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin; Department of English Literature (2018)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the power relations and the power discourse in the seven sequential books of the Harry Potter Series, written by J. K. Rowling from a Foucauldian point of view. Foucault contradicts the common belief, and suggests that power is an entity that cannot belong to or held by anybody. It surrounds people, and is fed by and feeds the discourse it exists in. Although power cannot be seized by one person or a group of people, it still can be abused by those who seek personal inte...
A Novel Reading of Thomas Nagel’s “Challenge” to Physicalism
Tümkaya, Serdal (2021-02-01)
In passing remarks, some commentators have noted that for Nagel, physicalism is true. It has even been argued that Nagel seeks to find the best path to follow to achieve future physicalism. I advance these observations by adding that for Nagel, we should discuss the consciousness problem not in terms of physical and mental issues but in terms of our desire to include consciousness in an objective/scientific account, and we can achieve this only by revising our self-conception, i.e., folk psychology, to deve...
A Study of a Female Character in a Male Dominated World in Margaret Drabble’s The Millstone
Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin (2018-10-01)
This is a study of female characters in the novels of Margaret Drabble, focused mainly on what they have to say about the condition of women in our contemporary society. The author being English, and her stories taking place in Britain from the 1960's onwards, it has been considered relevant to start with an appraisal of British society and of the way it has evolved in recent years. Many of the points we make in a sober and descriptive manner have been taken up in a literary fashion by our author. This chap...
A Postcolonial narratological study of silence in Abdulrazak Gurnah‟s Admırıng Silence and By The Sea /
Arslan, Özlem; Öztabak Avcı, Elif; Department of English Literature (2014)
This thesis offers a postcolonial and narratological study of silence in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s novels Admiring Silence (1996) and By the Sea (2001). While presenting the protagonists with a focus on their individual traumas, Gurnah weaves their silence into larger political, social and economic contexts of colonization and post-colonization in Zanzibar and into migrancy in England. Emerging as an inevitable result of some individual, social and political pressure, protagonists’ silence also becomes a tool of ...
