Yayın Sensing and resisting the colonial port in Istanbul in Leonard Woolf and Halide Edib’s writing(TORCH, Oxford University, 2019) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis is a polemical paper about how a city may be perceived in different registers, and how ‘the colonial port city’ becomes a spectre that haunts port cities that are not colonial in a strict sense. Istanbul will serve as an example how occupied cities are sensed as colonial cities, particularly when the occupier, in this case Britain, has a colonial past. I will look at texts that test out Istanbul’s status as a colonial port city: Leonard Woolf’s The Future of Constantinople, and Halide Edib’s Shirt of Flame and The Turkish Ordeal. While Woolf sets out a plan for Istanbul to become a free port, modeled on his experiences of Ceylon as a colonial port city, the local author and activist Halide Edib pushes against this, all the while aware of the colonial resonances that a British occupation brings. The Future of Constantinople is set out as an anti-war tract: Woolf pits internationalism against cosmopolitanism, arguing for an international body to rule Istanbul. According to Woolf, Constantinople is the stage where internationalism should at last beat imperialism, through the exclusion of Turks from Bosphorus, and physically locating them elsewhere. His is a capitalist reading, indeed, sensing of the Bosphorus where the city itself is obliterated, and becomes the strait that should facilitate the transportation of goods. A supposedly anti-imperial vision of the future founded on the exclusion of local subjectivities, reiterating a colonial grammar. According to Woolf, Constantinople should be the city that should cease to live and breathe and be stripped down to its economic activity, so that all other European cities should live in peace- a vision of the colonial city. This approach is not lost Halide Edib who reads the behavior of the occupying allies as colonial officers in her memoir The Turkish Ordeal and her novel Shirt of Flame. I argue that Halide Edib, by invoking the spectre of a colonial port city, uses her writing as a call to arms to prevent Woolf’s vision for Istanbul from becoming reality.Yayın Constantinopolitan modernities: Leonard Woolf, Virginia Woolf and Halide Edib(2018) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis is a polemical paper about how a city may be perceived in different registers. Istanbul as a bartering piece in peace negotiations, as in the case of Leonard Woolf’s The Future of Constantinople (1917), and Istanbul as a space that evokes modernist responses by two female writers- one of them a young British novelist on her tour of the continent before WWI, and the other a Turkish novelist writing about her experience of the British Occupation in 1918, a year after Leonard Woolf’s tract (Brits occupied Istanbul from late Nov 1918- Sep 1923).1 Gathering these modern responses to Constantinople’s geographical and symbolic location, I try to formulate aspects of ‘Constantinopolitan modernities’ that engage with the meanings that the city has taken on and generated.Yayın [Book Review]: "Modernism, Empire, World Literature"(Oxford University Press, 2022) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüReaders approaching a book entitled Modernism, Empire, World Literature will have their own understanding of what ‘modernism’ and ‘world’ mean in relation to ‘literature’. A quick look at the book’s contents page reveals that for Joe Cleary, the world is comprised of England, Ireland, and the USA, with the Caribbean thrown in to round up the ‘empire’. The volume is divided into chapters that offer what seem, at least to this reader, to be separate and well-informed expositions of works of literature such as The Golden Bowl (1904), The Waste Land (1922), Ulysses (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925), and Long Day’s Journey into the Night (1956), with Omeros (1990) providing the imperial coda at the end. ‘Empire’, as described in the book, is a burden that England has relinquished to the USA, a crown that sits uneasily on the usurper’s head. Modernism, Empire, World Literature operates on the centre–periphery binary...Yayın Multiculturalism and revolutions in the caucasus: Ali and Nino(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2017) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Sosyoloji BölümüKurban Said’s 1937 novel Ali and Nino tells the story of a pair of lovers from Baku whose lives are dramatically altered in the aftermath of the revolutions and new nation states arising post World War I. Although, from the juxtaposition of names, the premise seems to be an ‘intercultural love story’, the trials and tribulations of Ali and Nino, a Muslim Azeri and a Christian Georgian, stem more from jealous rivalry and the vicissitudes of war than from irreconcilable differences between their life styles. The lovers’ fate being bound to larger revolutions in the world comes across more strongly in the successful 2016 film version directed by Asif Kapadia, than in the novel which lingers over Ali’s brooding that Nino might not fit in within a harem context. These musings, however, mostly remain conjecture on Ali’s part, and the discussion between the lovers, and later as man and wife, continue as to what kind of living quarters they will set up once the wars have ended and Ali who has killed his Armenian rival and is afraid the man’s family will take revenge can return to Baku. Their love flourishes in makeshift homes in the mountains of Dagestan and during a brief sojourn in Iran before its ultimate test against the rigours of keeping a house as a married couple.Yayın [Book Review]: "E. Khayyat, Istanbul 1940 and Global Modernity: The World According to Auerbach, Tanpinar, and Edib"(İlmi Etüdler Derneği, 2020) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü[No Abstract Available]Yayın Re-reading the Magus: English, classics and orientalism(National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 2019) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü‘I needed a new land, a new race, a new language; and although I couldn’t have put it into words then, I needed a new mystery’, ends the first chapter of John Fowles’s 1965 novel The Magus. This paper argues that in the narrator/hero of the novel Nicholas Urfe, Fowles has marries the Classicist/Orientalist personas still prevalent in the British world of letters, through Urfe’s (self)associations with myth. In Orientalism Said speaks consistently of a ‘private’ or ‘personal’ mythology – of how ‘literary pilgrims’ find in the Orient ‘a locale sympathetic to their private myths, obsessions, and requirements’. This is exactly how Greece, the Aegean, functions for Urfe, the literary pilgrim. Bored of his life in London, Urfe sets off on an ‘eastern adventure’ and accepts a job at an English school in the (fictional) Greek island of Phraxos. There, he meets the magus of the title, Conchis, who proves to be the master of revels as he puts on several masques and plays for the benefit/ordeal of Urfe. The Aegean, the birth place of significant European myths, becomes the stage on which Urfe’s knowledge of myth is humoured and tested. It is a show tailored for an English and/or Classics graduate, and we see Urfe identifying with various mythical figures throughout the novel. Conchis, as the Prospero of the novel, applies his team of ‘spirits’ to work out ‘mythical’ scenes for Urfe, including satyrs and rape of maidens. This Aegean island then becomes the now mythologized island of Prospero, where not only ancient Greek, but also Ottoman (read Oriental) myths are intimated through the harem and the mute black eunuch. Combining all these different registers of myth in one novel, Fowles creates an Aegean chronotope that thickens with every other narrative staged by Conchis.Yayın Colonial and orientalist tropes in travel-writing(IIIT Georgia Winter School, 2019) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis study examines the relation between travel writing and postcolonialism. In order to dothis it first looks at the history of travel literature, by doing a close reading of selectedpassages from travel literature, and link the history to contemporary practices. The closereading will focus on whether one can hear local voices in the accounts of the travel writers,taking Gayatri Spivak’s question ‘Can the Subaltern Speak’ as its focus. A related question iswhether the subaltern can travel. Spivak reminds us to focus on the production of knowledge,archive, dissemination of knowledge and access to sources concerning knowledge of a space.The relationship between the privileged traveller and disprivileged/dispossesed native iscrucial and in that sense, this relationship is not necessarily between a European and thenative- people living in the same country may equally exoticize one another. The experienceof travel and writing of travel is shaped by race, class and gender at all periods of time.Yayın Ottoman chronotope for the mediterranean in Evliya Çelebi’s seventeenth-century travelogue Seyahatname(University of Malta, 2017) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis article investigates the ways in which the Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi perceived and represented the various political powers and cultural heritages in the Mediterranean, through a reading of his seventeenth-century travelogue, Seyahatname. I argue that Evliya’s text reveals the palimpsest of political power and cultural hegemony extant in the Mediterranean of his time and attempts to legitimise Ottoman rule, employing several tropes and narrative threads. For Evliya, the Mediterranean is primarily a battlefield that has witnessed the victories and defeats of the Ottomans throughout their history. Evliya’s Seyahatame, in that sense, is within the tradition of travel writing in the service of imperial meaning-making and meaning-sustaining processes. I call the narrative structure under which Evliya’s observations are gathered the Ottoman Chronotope: a chronotope that highlights the project of sustaining a commonwealth, through ties of commerce and faith. In Evliya’s text the islands become a geography where the Ottomans’ sense of mission and empire is bolstered by ‘old books’ and oral narratives that he claims were popular particularly among the Mediterranean Greek population.Yayın Parsing a neighborhood palimpsest: The case of Balat(Indiana University Press, 2022) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis paper explores how layers of history can be parsed in a neighborhood through narrative analysis, using Balat, an old quarter of Istanbul, as a case study. The study tests the relevance of several methodologies and concepts, including palimpsest, chronotope and heterotopia, to see whether local, Constantinopolitan iterations of these ways of reading can be marshalled instead. To that end, it has recourse to Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar's extensive writing on Istanbul to expand on concepts such as terkip, macera and buhran. These concepts are traced backwards and forwards in time to see how they apply to different writers' work on Istanbul/Constantinople through the ages, such as Odo of Deuil, Evliya Çelebi, John Ash and Orhan Pamuk. This comparative exercise reveals an affective bond between the writers, one that favors imperial melancholia and nostalgia. The contemporary nostalgia/melancholia affect is then shown to be either savored or shunned by Istanbulites and visitors, as they make use of this poetics of the past as cultural capital, they may invest in for use on social media today.Yayın Religion and re-enchantment in werner herzog and lars von trier’s work(2017) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüThis paper is part of a larger project I am working on, on re-enchantment and melancholia in contemporary narratives. In it, I will focus mainly on two films as emblematic of recent approaches to religion in the global north, particularly in northwest Europe.
