In his memoir Magellan, Stefan Zweig, while explaining the reasons for writing a book, states that "sometimes curiosity drives one to write". In Türkiye, too, there are many works on youth that are caused by academic curiosity. Therefore, youth in Türkiye has been analyzed by many disciplines in terms of literature. The diversity of literature ranges from psychology to sociology, biology to political science. What is striking in almost all of the works is that youth is accepted as a given concept. In this case, there is almost no conceptual discussion of youth in the books analyzed. The common feature of the literature in studies that can be evaluated within political science is the construction of youth as a subject. When the youth literature is evaluated in terms of the subject dimension, it reveals different construction data between 1930-1960, 1960-1980 and 1980-2010. In this study, we have tried to analyze the discourse on construction developed by books with youth as the subject. However, this study analyzes publications in which construction as a subject can be traced, while excluding studies outside the field, such as medicine or biology. When it comes to youth as a subject, the concept is evaluated not a priori but on the axis of subject-power relations. In this way, the process of defining youth as a subject on the axis of power was evaluated and expectations were tried to be revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the second half of the 20th century, due to the growing interest in new fields of historiography such as social, intellectual, experiential history and microhistory, the expansion in types of sources was inevitable. Genres such as diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, letters and travelogues which until then had been considered literary material by historians who tended to take more official-administrative records seriously, were evaluated for their potential as historical sources. In this way, historiography gained access to an enormous source that had not been examined until now. In the following period, the discussions in Europe centered on how this material could be used as a source by the historian, the classification and analysis of the material, and the classification of genres. Especially in the 18th century, with the increasing number of such texts that provided access to the personal world of the individual, a progressive approach was established that these genres were related to the modern individual and their individuality. This strengthened the assumption that the individual in previous narratives only exists within social relations. This study does not accept the teleological and modernity-centered view of this approach, which has lost power in recent times, and considers that the people of each period create an individuality with their own values. This strengthened the assumption that the individual in previous narratives only exists within social relations. This study does not accept the teleological and modernity-centered view of this approach, which has lost power in recent times, and considers that the people of each period create an individuality with their own values. It is certain that adopting processes such as humanism, Enlightenment and industrialization as turning points and imposing modern self-centered individuality of human on previous texts as the sole authority will certainly mislead the historian. For this reason, the study is analyzing two important works of the autobiographical form, Confessions of Saint Augustine and Rousseau which show parallelism with each other even though there is a time gap of more than a thousand years between them. The aim is showing that the sources of self-narratives have something to say to the historian in the individuality of each period by trying to understand what kind of similarities and differences they reveal in terms of their individuality, and what kind of conception they have towards themselves and the world they live in.

Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, whose most productive period was between 1933 and 1956, was a significant figure in Turkish literature who stood between tradition and modernity. The time he spent in Bosphorus, Rumeli Fortress, and Çamlıca during his childhood and adolescence had a great impact on his writing process and transformed him into a narrator who benefited from the past. Thus, Hisar told us about his memories of the past years and the “Bosphorus civilization” in his works, to exemplify, in Bosphorus Moonlights (Boğaziçi Mehtapları, 1942), Bosphorus Mansions (Boğaziçi Yalıları, 1954) and Past Times Mansions (Geçmiş Zaman Köşkleri, 1956). His works are like the chapters of a large memoir that are constantly nourished by the past. Some of the author’s works more closely resemble memoirs than novels due to his preoccupation with his memories, such as Fahim Bey and Us (Fahim Bey ve Biz, 1941), Our Brother-in-law in Çamlıca (Çamlıca’daki Eniştemiz, 1944) and Ali Nizami Bey’s European Style and Sheikhdom (Ali Nizami Bey’in Alafrangalığı ve Şeyhliği, 1952). As a result of their complexity, the works of Hisar tend to be regarded as narratives. As their titles imply, the primary focus of these narratives is on past events and the people belonging to the past. While Hisar described the past by evoking a sense of nostalgia, he was also cognizant, from a Bergsonian standpoint, of the unending/uncontrollable nature of time and change. As a result, as time passes, places and people also change, and those who do not make an effort to continue living their lives are characterized as “the disconnected”. In a sense, his characters are analogous to aging mansions; even as they age, they still evoke the glory of a particular era. This article analyzes the author’s three works and a selection of their characters. By examining Fahim Bey, Hacı Vamık Bey, and Ali Nizami Bey, this study examines time, change, and the characters left behind by the change. Also, these aspects will be compared to the “disconnected” Hisar profile, and the author’s relationship with his characters will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi’s A‘mâk-ı Hayâl, Tahir Harîmî Balcıoğlu’s Mezâmîr-i Felsefeden İnsaniyete Veche Veren Büyük Ruhlar, and Cafer Ergin’s Rü’ya have clear traces of the thoughts of Allan Kardec, the founder of modern spiritualism. The influence of spiritualism has resulted in the use of a common narrative style in these three works, which is centered around the communication of great spirits through dreams. The most important feature of this style of expression is that the spirits themselves tell the spirit and the religious and philosophical content of the concept of spirit. A’mâk-ı Hayâl, which is the most well-known among such works, is based on the spiritual experiences of Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi, was initially hesitant about the existence of the soul, but eventually became convinced through his experiences. Likewise, Tahir Harîmî wrote his work based on a spiritual experience told to him. In this study, firstly, the spiritual events experienced by Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi and Tahir Harîmî before they wrote their books are included and the relationship of both authors with spiritualism is tried to be shown. The change of Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi’s thoughts on the soul is revealed by utilizing his memoirs published in Şehbal magazine titled “Eski Fikirler, Yeni Şekiller: Ulûm-ı Garîbe ve İspitirizma”, a memoir published in Şehbal magazine. Later, the effect of The Spirits Books, written by Allan Kardec, on three works mentioned was examined. This effect is examined under the titles of the purpose of writing, spirit, dream and Prophet Muhammad emphasis and examples taken from the works about these titles are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Falih Rıfkı Atay was a well respected Turkish writer and journalist, and one of founding elites of Modern Turkey. In this paper, we shall examine his memoir Zeytindağı within the framework three concepts: subject, power and identity. Here, we aim to illuminate how he constructed his own identity. We will look at the text in its respective historical, ideological, and literary discourses. We also will discuss the connection between autobiographical narratives and power, and show that such texts are a means for the writer to establish themselves as a subject of power. Later, we will look at Falih Rıfkı's distance from the power structures of the past, and his attitude towards the dominant ideology at the time. Our preliminary findings reveal that he coded his work, divided it into themes, and arranged it in such a way that it would serve the purposes of the founding ideology of Modern Turkey. They also demonstrate how memoirs can very much be part of the actuality in which they are written, even though they are retrospective in nature as a literary genre. Likewise, we've also come to the conclusion that memories can be read both as identity narratives, and how though them, the author can serve the continuity of the discourses of power.

The interlocking process, which focused on the liberation of the National Struggle years and eliminated all differences, started to turn into a cross roads with the first years of the republic. Many of the military and political administrators, who acted as saviors in the first phase of this process, took an oppositional stance against the radical revolutions in the new period. Rüştü Pasha, who is one of the most important examples of this radical change, is the subject of this study, and his role in the political opposition studies initiated against Mustafa Kemal in the political sense and the process leading to an assassination are discussed in this study. In these years, when intellectual differences and the current political atmosphere pushed him into opposition, Rüştü Pasha did not neglect to stay in the background as he had throughout his entire career, but to assume an oppositional duty, instead of being an independent and stand-alone opposition. However, Rüştü Pasha, who deserved the title of a reliable and loyal second man throughout his military activities, became a staunch opponent in parliamentary activities. The main goal of the study is to reveal the process that led him to take part in an event such as the Izmir Assassination and therefore to death. The study was prepared by examining archival documents, newspapers, memoirs and various research works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The history of the revolution of the Republic of Turkey is a lesson that conveys to generations the war of independence of the Turkish nation, our national heroes. The aim of this study is to examine the literary products contained in the 8th-grade history of revolution and Kemalism textbook taught by the Ministry of National Education in our country in the 2020-2021 academic year. Document analysis from qualitative research methods was used in the study. The data were analyzed by content analysis. As a result of the study, the textbook is quite rich in literary works, but the book mostly uses the same types of literacies. On the other hand, it has been found that genres such as songs and folk songs that will feed students emotionally have never been used, and literary genres such as memoirs, stories, and novels have not been adequately used.

The Prussian tradition in Ottoman military modernization began with Captain Helmuth von Moltke. Approximately a century after the activities of the delegation headed by Helmuth von Moltke in the Ottoman army, advisors from Germany were re-assigned by the Republic of Turkey at various levels of the army. Compared to previous military delegations, German consultants, whose duties were limited to lecturing at military academies on paper, resigned from their official duties in Germany. They have signed special agreements with the Turkish Armed Forces that do not bind their own countries and military institutions, and have served in Turkey for a wage higher than the salary they earned in their country. Between 1925 and 1939, apart from the military attachés in the German embassies in Turkey, 36 German served in Turkish Military and Naval War Schools. Among these, Hilmar von Mittelberger is the most prominent name with his works that he left behind in a short period of 7 years, with his last position in Germany with the rank of lieutenant general. The German general, who returned to his country with the beginning of the Second World War, attended the talks about Turkey at the headquarters of his country's general staff, where he informed the generals of the German army about Turkey's defense power.

Azize Jafarzade (born in 1921-died in 2003) is one of the important authors of 20th century Azerbaijani literature. Azize Jafarzade has written works in the genres of stories, long stories, novels, plays, fairy tales, memoirs and travelogues. She is also an academic, journalist, researcher, translator and meticulous folklore collector. Azize Jafarzade is known for historicalbiographical novels and long stories. Her first literary works were in the form of stories and began to be published from 1938. After the first stories of the author's language and style such as Ezrayıl, Xezer, Din Direyim, Gülüş, İntizar, Araz Qızı, Yuxuda and Terlan, it is seen that the choice of subject is very rich. The influence of Socialist realism in the author's early stories is greater than in his later works. With the beginning of the World War II, the subject of these stories also changed and she wrote works telling about the defense of the homeland and the struggle of the children of the country for this cause. During her 65 years of writing activity, the author wrote not only works on socialist realism and war, but also many stories about the social, literary and cultural life of Azerbaijan. The year 2021 is the 100th anniversary of Azize Jafarzade's birth. On this occasion, we classified the stories written by the author during his 65-year writing activity between 1938-2003 according to their subjects and prepared them for publication in 2 volumes. In this article, the stories of the author that we have classified under 11 main titles in terms of content will be examined in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Galsan Tschinag is a writer belonging to Tsengel Tuvas, a group that has developed itself in the field of literature and culture. More than thirty five poems, short stories, novel, memoirs and similar literary genres, published in German, have been translated into many languages. One of the author’s works in question was published as Die Karawane in German and was translated into Turkish by Prof. Dr. Nurettin Demir. This novel was called as Kervan in Turkish. Through his novel, Tschinag tries to positively influence the present of the Tuva society, which has started to alienate itself from its essence, with the images created by the Tuvas and the remembering figures carried from the past. The relationship between the elements that make up the society’s system of thoughts, such as concepts, symbols and experiences reveals figures of remembering. The figures in question acquire a distinctive character with their loyalty to time and space, loyalty to the group and reconstruction of history. The multidimensional traces carried by the cultural products of Tuvas make sense of the day coming from the past as a result of the author’s use of recall figures in fiction. This study aims to show the usage of remembering figures and to examine the novel through these figures in the fiction of the novel called Kervan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Halit Ziya (Uşaklıgil) explained his thoughts on Tanzimat literature in his work named, “Kırk Yıl” in which he wrote his literary memoirs. One of main elements that draw attention in the work is the author’s observations and opinions about the literary circles he visited here, after he went from Izmir to Istanbul. The author gathered those who worked on the path of classical literature under the roof of Muallim Naci School and those who worked on the path to new litrature under the roof of Namık Kemal School. Muallim Naci evaluated and his environment from a negative point of view. He stated that the writers belonging to this school produced Works within the framework of Divan literature. He accused the Muallim Naci School of having a narrow World view, which was devoted to the past. H eapproached Ebuzziya Tevfik, Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem and Samipaşazade Sezai with a positive perspective and praised these authors for giving Works within the framework of new literature. He depicted Ebuzziya Tevfik as kind and gentleman. He highlighted Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem in terms of lifestyle, wordview and literary criticism. Halit Ziya drew attention to the fact that Sami Paşazade Sezai is a powerful pen in prose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the Baburid State, which was established in 1526 in India, the capital city was changed from time to time due to political, economic and social reasons. In this context, the cities of Agra, Delhi, Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore have assumed capital positions at different times. However, in the event of a change or relocation of the capital, the star of the city, which was previously the capital, never faded and its vitality continued since Agra and Delhi, as well as being commercial attractions, were built on ancient history. Fetihpur Sikri hosted religious and spiritual personalities. Lahore, on the other hand, had the task of being an important intersection connecting land trade with other regions of India, as well as being of military importance with its geostrategic location. The time limitation of this study, which deals with the capital cities in Baburid State, is the cross-section between 1526 and 1707. The sources used in the study are the sources written by the Baburid rulers or their relatives such as Vekayi (Baburnama), Akbarnama and Tuzuk i Jahangiri (Jahangirnama), and the memoirs and reports containing the impressions of travelers and merchants such as Bernier and Tavernier who went to India. In addition, the current literature on Indian and Baburid city history studies was also benefited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economic opportunities presented by large rivers, streams and lakes in vast steppes of Central Asia required rafts for shipment. The manufacturing of raft used by the Turkic peoples, who inhabited this region, consisted of the following: firstly sacks are prepared from animal skin, on which joists were laid on both right and left sides; over them thin pieces of wood were placed in gridiron form, and they are tightly fastened on the animal skin. This technique of construction of rafts has been transmitted among Turks for generations as a cultural object and these rafts became the most frequently used transportation vehicle on lakes and rivers. Therefore, raft became a commonly used vehicle by Turks in this territory. Although researchers argue that first water transportation vehicles were invented by Northern Sea tribes and Egyptians, Turks are also among the first boat makers. In this context, the merchants and envoys visiting Turkic geographies wrote about various types of boats and their usage. Raft has been developed by Turks as an art of handicraft to be used in bigger rivers for economic and political purposes and different types like boats without deck, wooden boats and small crafts were invented under different names, such as "bat" and "barka". The cultural value of the art of raft was not only found in written texts, but it is also described in tales, proverbs, poems, folk songs and epic poems, especially in the Old Turkic inscriptions. Turks applied a unique method in building two-winged ships known as "uchan", "târ", big "kemi" or "gemi". Consequently, Turks crossed over the rivers and lakes of Central Asia making them hegemonic nation of great steppes. The information about the construction of raft can be found in memoirs of travelers, in oral sources of folk literature and also among the Kyrgyz living along the Kyzyl-Suu River in Chon-Alai district in Kyrgyzstan and in Jerge-Tal district in Tajikistan as a handcraft transmitted, used and safeguarded. The knowledge and ability of building raft has been transmitted from generation to generation in this region and it kept its pure and authentic form. Thus, the transmission of traditional art of raft from generation to generation, which still can be found among the Kyrgyz and other Turkic peoples in the region, is a cultural heritage not to be ignored. Additionally, these information and artifacts should be evaluated and safeguarded as part of the intangible cultural heritage, because due to globalization, this element of cultural heritage is gradually losing its unique characteristics. Consequently, while the data about the art of raft, boat and ship building of Turks is presented in this study, it is concluded that the value of this heritage is related to its traces from previous forms.

İntibah (Awakening), the first novel written by Namık Kemal during his exile, is a love story and a romance contrary to his previous works. This study explores Kemal's underlying appetite for political change as revealed in the historical and political subjects commonly used in his memoirs and literary works. From this perspective, İntibah reflects the awakening of Ali Bey toward life and Ali-i Osman toward a new civilization. The novel's political elements occur within a framework of Ottoman history during Kemal's life. Namık Kemal stated that he wrote İntibah to measure the disposition of Turkish language toward novel writing. This study explores the idea that a new perspective developed, assuming Kemal wrote the novel using representations/symbols familiar to Tanzimat intellectuals, even though he did not explicitly state this purpose in his writing. When the novel is approached from this viewpoint, the fictional elements fall into place without discrepancy. Such reading expands the attributed meaning of the novel to make it a mission novel.

Ömer Seyfettin, who has written many articles on different subjects such as culture, art, and sports along with in different literary genres such as primarily story, poetry, novel and drama in Turkish literature, is not only a prolific name, but also has left his mark on Turkish literature as a person whose mind constantly works for the progress and development of the Turkish nation and the elements belonging to this nation. He maintained his struggle for life -which started in the district of Gönen in Balıkesir-with a pen instead of a gun by resigning from the army where he entered as a soldier. Meanwhile, he also starts teaching while writing. Starting to write at the age of 15, he continues his writing career until the end of his life, but his most productive period was the last four or five years, which can be determined by considering the history of his stories and writings. Ömer Seyfettin, who was one of the leaders of the "New Language" movement and defended his ideas in Genc Kalemler magazine in Thessaloniki, has engraved his name into the literary world so to say. The death of such a valuable author at such a young age of thirty-six caused sadness in his friends and the Turkish press, and his memoirs were written due to his death in periodicals. The majority of these articles, signed or unsigned, are of commemorative type. In this study, the articles published in newspapers and magazines and death announcements immediately after the death of Ömer Seyfettin will be taken as the basis, and the portrait of Ömer Seyfettin will be uncovered from the articles written right after his death.
