Recent research in global literature, with a focus on non-Anglophone and non-European literatures and cultures, has sparked a growing interest in utopian and dystopian narratives. These narratives present alternative world scenarios that unfold in both the present and the future. Amidst the escalating impact of the climate crisis in the Anthropocene, the complex issue of migration, and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, speculative fiction in the Mediterranean region captures the fears, aspirations, and dreams of individuals concerning both the present and the future. Over the last three decades, authors in contemporary Türkiye have increasingly produced utopian and dystopian works. These speculative works exhibit a heightened focus on ecological breakdown, political polarization, gender roles, and the exercise of power. Çağrı Aktaş's Toprak Palas (Underground Station, 2018), a representative work of speculative fiction in contemporary Turkish literature, carries both utopian and dystopian undertones as it investigates the pressing challenges of Rahim, Aktaş's finely textured underground city. Through its open-ended structure, the narrative galvanizes readers into action, urging an expedited process of transformation toward a different future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to investigate how emotions guide and shape diasporic communities' interpretation/perception of socio-political developments in their place of origin. Based on our study of members of the Armenian diaspora who are originally from Turkey and who now live in Melbourne, Australia, we argue that these Armenians have formed their views on political issues under the influence of their emotional experiences, stemming from direct or indirect victimhood. The paper finds that several key emotions – fear, hate (and lack of hate), anticipation, and pessimism, inform and shape the Australian Armenian diaspora's making sense of political developments in their place of origin, Turkey. The paper's contribution to the relevant scholarship is twofold. First, it contributes to the studies on emotions in diasporas by examining how emotions shape individual members of a diaspora make sense of political developments in their place of origin. Second, it contributes to the literature on modern Turkey by studying Armenians from Turkey and their emotions on socio-political phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sabahattin Ali is one of modern Turkish literature's most influential authors - with many a novel, short story, poem, and play to his name. 20th century Turkish prose largely focuses on stories about [rural] Anatolian Turks alongside their fondness for nature, and generally in lyrical, lively, and plain language. Ali's stories are more human centred. He frequently studied how people lived, worked, and behaved, and set the plot around a specific event or chain of events. In this study, we shall examine "Hasanboğuldu" - one of a series of thirteen short stories published in 1943 under the title "Yeni Dünya." Well received and even the subject of a film, it is peppered folkloric elements that hail from Turkey's deeply rooted oral tradition. That noted, we plan to discuss the conflicts in the story, and argue how important a role they play structurally in the overall narrative. Interestingly, those conflicts fall under one of four categories: person-person, person-society, person-space, and conflict with oneself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the history, political background, and literary aesthetics of Turkey's newly inaugurated Necip Fazıl Cultural Prize and the Istanbul Publishing Fellowship Program to examine how the Turkish government instrumentalizes literature to contest Turkish cultural values and identity. Describing the current need to advance Turkish culture and literature as "important a matter of survival as the fight against terror," Erdoğan has increasingly emphasized cultural power in recent years as a means of cultivating and promoting his regime's local and pious version of Turkishness. This paper explores how literary prizes and publishing programs partake in the formation of Turkish cultural power and investigates the ramifications of these government-sponsored initiatives for scholarly understanding of the relationship between world-building, the circulation of aesthetic practices underpinned by nationalism and religion, and the projection of national power on a global stage.

Ibnu'l Hakkı Mehmed Tahir, who is mainly known for his work in press and media in Turkey, produced many booklets/pamphlets on social issues, especially on woman issues. One of these booklets is a short story titled "Altın Perisi". Since this work is the only work of Ibnu'l Hakkı Mehmed Tahir that can be considered in the literary genre, it has a special place and importance in his publishing life. In this study, general information is provided on Ibnu'l Hakkı Mehmed Tahir and his works first, and then a general evaluation is given about the story titled "Altın Perisi". Within the framework of this evaluation, the story was discussed in terms of main narrative elements such as plot, characters, time, space, narrative techniques-narrator and point of view, plot background, language, and style. At the end of the article, the Latin and Arabic letter versions of the story have been added. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern Uighur Turkish literature and Turkey Turkish literature was fed from a common cultural resource. However, these two literatures also show some local characteristics unique to them. In some works that are the product of these literatures, we can find both common cultural elements and local elements together. A good example of this is the poem "in the cheater", which is the subject of our review. The poem "Uçraşkanda" written by Abdurehim Tinleşup Ötkür, one of the important representatives of contemporary Uyghur literature, is in the style of "müşaare (deyişme)", the first example of which is seen in Divanü Lügati't-Turk. Poem: It is an indication that a tradition of about a thousand years is continuing and the cultural bond between the two regions has not been broken. It is seen that Abdurehim Tleşup Ötkür wrote the poem "Uçraşkanda" based on the poem "No No" by Emrah from Erzurum. In this article, the relations, and similarities between the two poems were determined and evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Heel spurs are the bony protrusion seen especially on the dorsal and plantar face of the calcaneus bone at the attachment site of the muscles. It was aimed herein to obtain data about the life styles, daily lives, and especially the socioeconomic structures of modern and ancient Anatolian populations by evaluating the prevalence, location, age, and gender differences of heel spurs on the calcaneus and comparing these findings between the populations. Herein, the 251 calcaneus bones of 137 skeletons, which had been previously analyzed paleodemographically and dated to the Middle Ages, and 68 calcaneus bones belonging to a modern population, whose gender was unknown but lived in Anatolia, were examined in terms of heel spurs. In the current study, the presence of dorsal, plantar, or both dorsal/plantar heel spurs on these in 251 calcaneus bones was 43.9 %, 11.1 %, and 10.3 %, respectively. The presence of dorsal, plantar, or both dorsal/plantar heel spurs was determined as 22 %, 3 %, and 1.5 %, respectively, among the 68 calcaneus bones belonging to the modern population. When a comparison was made of the current study with studies in the literature on modern and prehistoric populations, a higher prevalence of heel spurs was found in prehistoric samples than in modern populations. It is our belief that this situation may have derived from the heavy labor force, environmental, or sociocultural differences in ancient Anatolian populations, insufficiency of vital materials due to inadequate industrial conditions, and the solution of anatomical disruption. In addition, the findings determined herein will guide the development of future and industrial studies on the foot and foot structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A short and comparative study on Iran-Turkey modern literature reveals the inadequacy of studies in comparative literature, in particular, in novel comparisons, and indicates that there is an area that is overlooked and left uncovered by the researches despite its importance and necessity. From this point of view, this study has been drafted to determine how the changes that both countries have underwent in terms of their historical and cultural development are reflected in their novels, and it addresses the similar and common themes in Turkish and Persian novels, narrative forms and the thoughts and literary approaches of novel authors outside the context of influencing and getting influenced. In this respect, Kuyucaklı Yusuf, a novel by Sabahattin Ali, and Tengsir, a novel by Sadık Çubek have been selected and were reviewed on a comparative basis. Because they are full of local motifs and characteristics in terms of plot and contents and their authors have a well-informed attitude in writing in this area, these were the basic criteria in selecting these novels. The degenerated urban life, plots, schemes, fraudulence, deceptiveness have become the way of business for the town tradesmen and communities and they collaborate and plot together with the ruling class. Together they apply oppression, cruelty and unfair treatment to local folks, and are engaged in bribery. The heroes of the novels Şir/Zar Muhammet and Yusuf are individual rebels who stand against this treatment while they are on quest for revenge and justice and justification against these torments. These two novels turn around these themes and they are on the same narrative line in terms of their expressions and realistic point of views with respect to the social, political, economic and cultural characteristics of the era in which they were written, in particular, their economic and social effect in country, and each reflects the local and intrinsic values of its society and is a product of the thoughts and ideologies of its author.

For several centuries the Balkan region has been regarded as a zone of fraction between the Orient and Europe, between Islam and Christianity, where nothing is actually Christian, nor is it Islamic, a mysterious area where everything is possible. Not so long ago the discourse about the Orient concentrated around and treated mainly the interests of the big colonial empires in the East and their reflection in scholarship and letters, in the image of the "Orient" and "Oriental" peoples in the West. The attitudes in the Balkans, however, and especially those of Bulgarians to Turks and Muslims, meet us with a different reality, the reality of a (probably) "white" people (Christians) ruled by an "Oriental" empire. The recognition of the neighbour, the ethnic, religious and/or linguistic "other" in the Balkans where the relations are further complicated by the impact of the historical factor, and where each nation claims some kind of political and/or cultural dominance in the past, usually at the expense of the neighbours, is still in its beginning.
