LIT 692 Advanced Topics in Turkish Literature
3 Credits
This seminar introduces students to major works of
literature that have influenced Turkish history and
culture and continue to have an impact on our
understanding of contemporary Turkey. Seminar
materials combine such literary works with theoretical
and historical writings on Turkey, focusing on topics
such as nationalism, gender, theories of third world
narratives and aesthetics in a non-western context,
canon-formation and the construction of a national
canon, minority literatures, and prison literature.
Compared to a introductory survey course on Turkish
Literature (such as LIT 394), LIT 692 encourages in-
depth analyses of fewer literary works. The authors to
be covered include (but are not limited to) Ahmet
Hamdi Tanpınar, Oğuz Atay, Orhan Pamuk, Adalet
Ağaoğlu, Latife Tekin, Elif Şafak, Emine Sevgi
Özdamar, Mehmet Uzun, and Mıgırdıç Margosyan
The language of instruction is Turkish. Subject to the
completion of a long (approx. 30 pages) research paper
largely based on primary sources, this seminar counts
towards the fulfillment of the research seminar
requirements for the MA and PhD degrees in History.
