The reconstruction of authorial identity in contemporary author fictions: A.S Byatt’s Possession, David Lodge’s Author, Author and Maggie Gee’s Virginia Woolf in Manhattan
Koç, Nesrin; Öztabak Avcı, Elif; Department of English Literature (2021-8)
This study analyses Possession (1990) by A.S Byatt, Author, Author (2004) by David Lodge and Virginia Woolf in Manhattan (2014) by Maggie Gee as examples of contemporary author fictions.

The three novels analysed here all deal with the anxiety governing the work of the...

The possibility of Arendtian action: founding new public spaces in Fatsa 1979-80 and the occupy Wall street movement /
Ünal, Mehmet Burak; Deveci, Cem; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2014)
This thesis examines the possibility of Arendtian action without a pre-established public space. The major concern is to question the mainstream understanding of the relationship between action and publicness in Arendt’s framework, which identifies action as always necessitating an already-given public space. In this context, this thesis focuses on the revolutionary and founding dimensions of Arendtian action and frames it as “the creation of the new”. Grounding the thesis on such framing, it is asserted th...
