Gothic Feminism is an authentic term for revealing the relationship between gothic and feminism, ... more Gothic Feminism is an authentic term for revealing the relationship between gothic and feminism, and the Netflix Series Lucifer opens perfect dimensions to emphasize how women are merged with the supernatural elements in the series. The main character Lucifer is a significant figure in the context of creating the gothic feminist outlook in the series, and so it can be said that Lucifer is a great manifestation about reflecting feminist thoughts with strong figures such as Decker and Charlotte Richards. On the other hand, the evil side of the series affects audiences while creating fearful aspirations. In the series, women sometimes seem as if they are vulnerable to men’s hegemony, or sometimes their behaviors lead them to be heroic status. This presentation will explicitly present how the characters reflect gothic feminism and its main thematic approaches.

African American literature establishes a great artistic field with diverse cultural and thematic... more African American literature establishes a great artistic field with diverse cultural and thematic experiences. Throughout history, African Americans have experienced many troubles, such as segregation and discrimination in various areas. However, their literature shows a significant resistance to all the troubles in history. Numerous writers and artists explore themes such as African American culture, racism, religion, slavery, and a sense of homelessness, one of whom is Zora Neale Hurston. Besides her race, she is also a woman, so she is both a woman and a colored person at the bottom of the social ladder. Thus, Their Eyes Were Watching God is not only a source of race but also gender. This paper sheds light on the importance of Zora Neale Hurston in African American literature, and the study will be supported by other famous Afro-American writers’ articles and statements. Why is she so important? From which perspectives did she contribute to African American literature? Why was her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God mostly criticized? This novel, being important in the field of Black Feminism, concerns the hardships of black women
racially and sexually. This study will answer these questions with examples from Zora Neale Hurston’s autobiographical novel Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography (1984), Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), and Alice Walker’s article “In Search of Zora Neale Hurston” (1975).

It explicitly sheds light on Eleni Sikelianos's poems in Body Clock with two different theorists such as Kristeva and Egan. Eleni Sikelianos' (1965-) both visual and verbal narrative style attribute an authentic outlook for readers, and they see the power of her performative style. The process of giving birth is narrated so creatively that when people read her poems, they will understand how life is a meaningful thing. The study will start with the life of Eleni Sikelianos, who is the author of Body Clock which reveals the idea of birth, womanhood, imaginative mind, and so on. Secondly, Body Clock is explained with its main concepts such as time, biology, motherhood including the growth of body and birth, and her drawings. The third part of the study will examine the poems of Body Clock from the perspective of Julia Kristeva's Desire in Language: A Semiotic Approach to Literature and Art. This analysis will concern four theoretical backgrounds: "the speaking/ split subject," "semiotic chora & symbolic device," "maternal body/ drive," and "poetic language/carnivalesque." In the fourth section of the paper, Body Clock is analyzed in terms of three concepts such as the mirror conception, body status and language in control of meaning in Mirror Talk: Genres of Crisis in Contemporary Autobiography written by Susanna Egan.

America hosts many hybrid cultures and one of them is the Arab American identity. These people suffer from many hardships not only because of their religious differences, but also their traditional alienation to American culture. This paper will analyze the Egyptian-American playwright Yussef El Guindi's play Ten Acrobats in An Amazing Leap of Faith (2018), presenting the fear and anxiety for the unknown culture in an Arab American family who struggle with identity problems and the American lifestyle. The concept of in-betweenness will be analyzed in each character and as Stuart Hall mentioned in his theory, this study will carry out "the eye of the needle of the other before it can construct itself" (1996, p. 89). As for identity framework, each character will be examined in terms of identity, gender and religious perspectives. The hardships of each character throws light on various commentaries in relating to the identity analyses and this study will explicitly show how the concept of identity will be shown with different Arab Americans. The cultural conflict is understood with Arab American identities that captivated the hegemonic Americanized thought system in America. While analyzing all characters in the play, this study will present how El Guindi reflects upon the lives of in-between Arab Americans with various issues such as religion, gender and race. While studying themes such as identity, religion, gender and race, the framework will be considered according to the theorists like Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.

Mitoloji iki farklı yüzyılı bir araya getirerek kültürel akış sağlar.

In this process, they try to construct their identities within the connections to their past and present together. At that point, ethnic autobiography creates an insightful perspective in that it presents the existing links among the members of a community: a common past, and a political project for the future of that community. (Renán, 1990,19) There are many ethnic groups living in America, and one of them is the Chinese Americans. America is like a mosaic with various ethnic groups living there. This study will seek “Mother Tongue” written by Amy Tan in the light of ethnic autobiographical considerations. This autobiographical source indicates how the language creates boundaries and it pushes characters into silence. This silence is a kind of psychological loneliness and cultural alienation. Tan closely experiences the otherness with her ethnic difference and she uses the genre of ethnic autobiography while narrating her personal memories because the real issues always affect the readers more deeply. Besides the sociological concerns such as language, it also explores the life of Tan with her own personal expressions. Thus, it is a kind of sociological, cultural and biographical text, and it also deals with multi-dimensional critical outlooks. It is also a great example inside protest literature because it criticizes ethnic discrimination with the examples from the life of Chinese American. From which perspectives does “Mother Tongue” approach the ethnic issue? How do the Chinese-Americans suffer from hardships in American society? What does the identity of Chinese-Americans mean for themselves? This paper tries to light on these questions in the framework of different ethnicities in America.

This approach poses a great threat to the world in that the extensive misuse of natural sources affects each part of life. The deforestation, nuclear threat and torturing of animals are the essential problems of modern world, and the cycle of the mother earth becomes disordered ecological disaster at the end. As regarding to these issues, there arose new theories of analyzing the environmental subjects as the central point, and it is called as Ecocriticism. Ecocriticism is a well-known movement which deals with ecocritical outlook to the literary texts in the opposition of anthropocentrism. This paper seeks to reveal how the story "Zoogoing" written by Lydia Millet brings ecocritical literacy towards the rights of animals, especially predators. It analyzes the story from the anthropocentric and ecocentric aspects. This story provides to understand the eco-conscious process within animals and human's reactions. Thus, it is an interpretive ecocritical analysis of animals inside zoo and their instinctual behaviors towards the humankind. At that point, human behaviors and its perception towards animals construct a crucial analysis in Ecocriticism.

The inter-relation between painting and poetry is called ekphrasis, which can be simply explained as the linguistic projection of visual art. Heffernan (1939-) defines this term as “the verbal representations of visual representations.” In addition to ekphrasis, this thesis aims to analyze the eleven poems of Williams in terms of structural, symbolic and thematic approaches. The primary source of this study is the poetry book, Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962) by Williams who has reflected upon the paintings of Brueghel. The first part of this study will focus on Williams’ poetic life in order to understand the ekphrastic nature of his selected poems. For instance, when did Williams’ interest for visual art start? Where did he acquire the idea that revealed the paintings of Bruegel in the embodiment of words? What did it mean to analyze Brueghel’s paintings? All these questions and more will be answered in the research. This thesis focuses not only on the poet, Williams and his poetic revelations, but also on Brueghel’s artistic perspectives and concerns. The research aims to construct versatile experiences and enrich new dimensions in readers.

Bu süreçte hem geçmiş hem de gelecek ile bağlantılarını devam ettirerek kimliklerini kaybetmemeye çalışırlar. Bu noktada, etnik otobiyografi topluluktaki üyeler arasında var olan aydınlatıcı bir bakış açısı yaratır. Amerika'da yaşayan pek çok etnik grup vardır ve bunlardan biri de Çinli Amerikalılardır. Amerika birçok etnik gruba ev sahipliği yaptığı için mozaik bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu çalışma, Amy Tan'in yazdığı "Mother Tongue" adlı yazısını etnik otobiyografik bakış açısından inceleyecektir. Bu kaynak dilin nasıl sınırlar oluşturduğunu ve karakterleri sessizliğe ittiğini gösterecektir. Bu sessizlik bir tür kültürel yabancılaşma ve yalnızlıktır. Tan etnik farklılıktan yola çıkarak ötekileşme duygusunu deneyimlemiş ve kendi kişisel deneyimleriyle birlikte etnik otobiyografi türünde anlatmıştır. Gerçek olaylar okuyucuları her zaman daha derinden etkilediği için çalışma okuyucularda duygusal etkiler oluşturmuştur. Dil gibi sosyolojik bakış açısının yanı sıra, eser Amy'nin kendi bireysel ifadeleriyle hayatını yansıtmaktadır. Bu nedenle, çok yönlü bakış açısına sahip olan eser bir tür sosyolojik, kültürel ve biyografik çalışma niteliğinde olacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra, eser protesto edebiyatına güzel bir örnek olabilir, çünkü Çinli Amerikalı örnekler ile etnik ayrımcılığı eleştirmektedir. "Mother Tongue" hangi yönlerden etnik otobiyografinin içinde yer alır? Amerikan toplumundaki Çinli Amerikalıların deneyimleri nasıldı ve ne gibi zorluklar yaşadılar? Çinli Amerikalılar için kimlik ne demektir? Bu çalışma, bütün bu soruları farklı bir etnik grup olan Çinli Amerikalı yazarın tecrübeleri ışığında yanıtlamaya çalışır.

At that point, this study aims to reflect how the cultural heritage combines the recent pandemic situation with art history, and it also constructs an outstanding interest in the art history and pandemic consciousness. This study will focus on these artistic works with the effects of Covid-19 and its results. Why did Genevieve Blais prefer to reflect this style? How did she get the idea of this artistic creation? From which perspectives is she involved in the process?

The inter-relation between painting and poetry is called ekphrasis, which can be simply explained as the linguistic projection of visual art. Heffernan (1939-) defines this term as “the verbal representations of visual representations.” In addition to ekphrasis, this thesis aims to analyze the eleven poems of Williams in terms of structural, symbolic and thematic approaches. The primary source of this study is the poetry book, Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962) by Williams who has reflected upon the paintings of Brueghel. The first part of this study will focus on Williams’ poetic life in order to understand the ekphrastic nature of his selected poems. For instance, when did Williams’ interest for visual art start? Where did he acquire the idea that revealed the paintings of Bruegel in the embodiment of words? What did it mean to analyze Brueghel’s paintings? All these questions and more will be answered in the research. This thesis focuses not only on the poet, Williams and his poetic revelations, but also on Brueghel’s artistic perspectives and concerns. The research aims to construct versatile experiences and enrich new dimensions in readers.

Mitolojinin gücü o kadar güçlüdür ki 15. yüzyılda yaşamış ressam Pieter Brueghel ile 20. yüzyılda yaşamış şair William Carlos Williams ortak bir noktada buluşur. Mitoloji iki farklı yüzyılı bir araya getirerek kültürel akış sağlar. Williams Brueghel'ın resimlerini Kunsthistorishes Müzesi'nde gördüğünde, bunlarla ilgili şiir yazmaya karar verir ve bu ekfrasis şiirler mitolojik yansımaları gösterir. Bu sanatsal yapıtlar mitolojik öyküleri içinde barındırır ve çalışma mitsel illüstrasyonların yanında şiirlerin nasıl oluşturulduğunu ifade edecektir. Bu çalışma, şiirlerin mitsel ögeleri nasıl ifade ettiğini gösterecektir. Kelimeler ve resimler arasında oluşan köprü, Williams ve Brueghel'ın kültürel yansımalarında mitolojiyle bütünleşir. Bu noktada, mitoloji her yerdedir ve etkileri tarihte hala devam eden süreçleri vurgulamaktadır. Mit ya da mitoloji, insanların zihninde her zaman üstün bir kavramdır ve mitolojinin bu üstün gücü insanlara sonsuz illüstrasyonlar gösterir. Pieter Brueghel bu gücü kullanan artistlerden biridir. Onun resimlerinde pek çok mitolojik referanslar vardır ve Brueghel'ın dönemini anlamak açısından her biri öğretici niteliktedir. Bu mitolojik örnekler William Carlos Williams ile kelimeler aracılığıyla 20. yüzyılda tekrar hayat bulur ve mitoloji bağlamında iki farklı yüzyılın birbiriyle nasıl buluştuğunu samimi bir bağ ile gösterir. Mitoloji niçin evrensel bir gerçekliktir? Hangi yönlerden Williams ve Brueghel sanatlarında bunu kullanır? Sanatta mitolojik yansımaların özü nedir? Bu çalışma, belirtilen sorulara cevap vermeye çalışacak ve sizi bir gezinti gibi 15. yüzyıldan 20. yüzyıla götürecektir.

Bu süreçte hem geçmiş hem de gelecek ile bağlantılarını devam ettirerek kimliklerini kaybetmemeye çalışırlar. Bu noktada, etnik otobiyografi topluluktaki üyeler arasında var olan aydınlatıcı bir bakış açısı yaratır. Amerika'da yaşayan pek çok etnik grup vardır ve bunlardan biri de Çinli Amerikalılardır. Amerika birçok etnik gruba ev sahipliği yaptığı için mozaik bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu çalışma, Amy Tan'in yazdığı "Mother Tongue" adlı yazısını etnik otobiyografik bakış açısından inceleyecektir. Bu kaynak dilin nasıl sınırlar oluşturduğunu ve karakterleri sessizliğe ittiğini gösterecektir. Bu sessizlik bir tür kültürel yabancılaşma ve yalnızlıktır. Tan etnik farklılıktan yola çıkarak ötekileşme duygusunu deneyimlemiş ve kendi kişisel deneyimleriyle birlikte etnik otobiyografi türünde anlatmıştır. Gerçek olaylar okuyucuları her zaman daha derinden etkilediği için çalışma okuyucularda duygusal etkiler oluşturmuştur. Dil gibi sosyolojik bakış açısının yanı sıra, eser Amy'nin kendi bireysel ifadeleriyle hayatını yansıtmaktadır. Bu nedenle, çok yönlü bakış açısına sahip olan eser bir tür sosyolojik, kültürel ve biyografik çalışma niteliğinde olacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra, eser protesto edebiyatına güzel bir örnek olabilir, çünkü Çinli Amerikalı örnekler ile etnik ayrımcılığı eleştirmektedir. "Mother Tongue" hangi yönlerden etnik otobiyografinin içinde yer alır? Amerikan toplumundaki Çinli Amerikalıların deneyimleri nasıldı ve ne gibi zorluklar yaşadılar? Çinli Amerikalılar için kimlik ne demektir? Bu çalışma, bütün bu soruları farklı bir etnik grup olan Çinli Amerikalı yazarın tecrübeleri ışığında yanıtlamaya çalışır.
