collection of essays that explores Pamuk’s multifaceted
approach to ordinary Turkish life. The contributors of this
volume come from an array of international perspectives that

and politics are examined in illuminating essays through
connections to nationalism, religion/secularity,
traditional/modern, exile/home, and comparative readings of
writers as Mohsin Hamid, Naguib Mahfouz, Italo Svevo, and
Amitav Ghosh. This is an indispensable collection for
understanding Pamuk, global literature, and crucial issues
in today’s world.},

Abstract = {Turkish novelists have often contested the authoritarian
tendencies of the republican state. Orhan Pamuk was charged
with insulting Turkishness in 2005, emphasizing a
long-standing opposition between author and state as well as
between literature and secularism. Though Pamuk's trial gave
him the status of dissident, it simultaneously ignored the
formal innovations and political transgressions of his
novels. This essay traces confrontations between Turkish
literary modernity and secular modern state power in Pamuk's
work and the Turkish novel. Such an analysis reveals that
narratives of the nation-state (devlet), bound to the
secularization thesis, have often been contested by Ottoman,
Islamic, and Sufi contexts (signifying din). I argue that
the unresolved opposition between the secular, material
narratives of devlet and the sacred, redemptive narratives
of din is productive of the modern Turkish novel and defines
its literary modernity. Thus, Pamuk's dissidence also
resides in modes of writing that contest the nation form and
revise the secularization thesis through new representations
of Turkish historiography, Istanbul cosmopolitanism, the
Ottoman archive, political parody, and secular Sufism. Such
literature that confronts representations of devlet with
those of din constitutes the “secular blasphemies” that
define the politics of the Turkish novel.},

Abstract = {This essay compares and contrasts Turkish author Halide
Edib's novel The Shirt of Flame (Duffield & Company, 1921)
to the second volume of her memoirs, The Turkish Ordeal (The
Century Company, 1928). Both texts have female protagonists
and parallel plots and take place during the Allied
occupation of Istanbul (1918-23). Both texts are
manifestations of an emerging Turkish national master
narrative. By highlighting the tensions between the
first-person narratives of the novel, the memoir, and the
emplottment of the national master narrative, this essay
offers an analysis of tensions between cosmopolitan Islamic
feminism and secular nationalism. This essay describes how
memoir (whether an actual memoir, such as The Turkish
Ordeal, or a fictional memoir, such as The Shirt of Flame)
constructs the object of its knowledge (the feminist self),
and furthermore, how the feminist self can be read either as
constitutive of national allegory (as in The Shirt of Flame)
or as an allegorical critique of patriarchal nationalism (as
in the English-language The Turkish Ordeal). The essay
concludes by showing how Halide Edib's perspective allows
for a gendered reading of the national master narrative and
the Orientalist/nationalist binary upon which it is
predicated.},

Abstract = {Abstract: The Allied occupation of Istanbul is a
little-known historical event outside of Turkey and the
Middle East. European powers occupied Istanbul between 1918
and 1923 to enforce the partition of the Ottoman Empire
after WWI in the construction of the Modern Middle East.
Almost 100 Turkish novels that address occupied Istanbul
have appeared over the last ninety years, beginning even
before Allied armies left Istanbul in 1923. Turkey's present
Middle Eastern re-emergence and post-Kemalist reassessment
of secular modernity has also led writers and intellectuals
back to the occupation of Istanbul. To examine why Turkish
authors return repeatedly to the trope of occupied Istanbul,
this essay surveys the first canonised novels about occupied
Istanbul written during the Kemalist monoparty period
(1923–50): Shirt of Flame by the exiled feminist and
nationalist Halide Edib (1884–1964), Sodom and Gomorrah by
the Kemalist ideologue Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu
(1889–1974) and Outside the Scene by Turkey's first
experimental, modernist author Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar
(1902–62). As bilingual Istanbul intellectuals, all three
made occupied Istanbul a central drama in their fictions.
However, each represented it differently as a formative
event in the construction and critique of the nation-state
and of modern Turkish subject-formation.},

Abstract = {Turkey’s modern history has been shaped by its society and
its institutions. In this fourth volume of The Cambridge
History of Turkey a team of some of the most distinguished
scholars of modern Turkey have come together to explore the
interaction between these two aspects of Turkish
modernization. The volume begins in the nineteenth century
and traces the historical background through the reforms of
the late Ottoman Empire, the period of the Young Turks, the
War of Independence and the founding of the Ataturk’s
Republic. Thereafter, the volume focuses on the Republican
period to consider a range of themes including political
ideology, economic development, the military, migration,
Kurdish nationalism, the rise of Islamism, and women’s
struggle for empowerment. The volume concludes with chapters
on art and architecture, literature, and a brief history of
Istanbul.},
