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 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.
