While this problem is extremely serious and does not allow women to breathe in some parts of the world, it is also a reality that gender discrimination still continues in developed countries. It cannot be denied that European women had to struggle for equal payment and circumstances even in the 1980s. The cooperation between the capitalist world order and the patriarchal system results in many troubles in women's social and economic life. Social class primarily creates a big gap with regard to the quality of women's lives and it results in inequality. In that regard, women in the lower class not only have to endure hard living and working conditions but they also get degenerated and betray their sisters. They are also abused in various ways and the objectification of their bodies is one of the most common forms of abuse they are exposed to. In NSFW, written by Lucy Kirkwood in 2012, these problems and more are brought to attention and dealt with. This study aims to explore class distinction and the objectification of women's body in different ways from the abuse of women's bodies to the established and imposed standards for bodily perfection under the influence of the class system in the capitalist economic order.

Bu çalışmada ufuk açıcı teorileri benimsenmiş dört temel Anglo-Amerikan feminist eleştirmen ataerkil toplumları ve onların kadınları sistematik olarak bastırmasını eleştirir. Ayrıca ataerkil düzenin köklerine inerler ve bu düzenin kadınlara yönelik çeşitli baskıcı ve kısıtlayıcı tavırlarına ışık tutarlar. Sonuç olarak, bu Anglo- Amerikan feminist eleştirmenler kadınların boyun eğmeyen, kendine güvenen ve özgürlükçü tavırlarının gerekliliğini ısrarla vurgular ve onların ataerkil toplumlara karşı mücadelesini desteklerler. Rönesans dönemindeki toplum düzeni de ataerkildir, bu yüzden kadının erkeğin hakimiyeti altında pasif, sessiz ve itaatkar bir şekilde yaşaması beklenir. Bu çalışmada t...

According to Marxism, the economic base and the superstructure such as ideology, religion and education are the main elements that shape the consciousness of individuals. Neither writers nor literary works can also be independent of the economic base, the superstructure and the ideology of the period. The analyses of the class structure and the economic structure of the period as well as the effect of the superstructure on individuals in literary works show that literature does not reflect the society directly. Literary works have such influences on the reader as raising awareness of the reader about the society where s/he lives and encourage him/her to question his/her life and change it. What is more, literary work is a product that is affected by the socio-economic conditions of the period it is writte...

As in our earlier volumes, we have received valuable submissions at the intersection of literary studies, comparative literature, linguistics, translation and cultural studies for the current issue, and we are certain that the issue will emphasize opportunities for future research into the topics it encompasses like emotional language processing in bilingualism, underground topography in Wright and Ellison, empire and exception in Kaplan’s work, ecocritical analysis of Majundar’s poems, emotion in Medieval Anglo-Norman tradition, gendered robotic bodies in McEwan and Newitz, hegemonic subject’s revolt against authority in Ravenhill, Hare’s memoir of Coronavirus, Collins’ framed narrative and its anti-mimetic function, linguistic obscurity in Conrad, and challenging ableism in Belluso. We would like to thank all the authors wholeheartedly for their scholarly contributions and for their collaboration throughout. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our referees who have volunteered to help with the process of blind reviewing and devoted their valuable time to evaluating submissions, for their insightful comments and efforts towards improving our manuscripts.
