Decolonizing marketing
(Routledge, 2021-11-10) Eckhardt, G. M.; Belk, R.; Bradford, T. W.; Dobscha, S.; Ger, Güliz
In January 2021, the ETHOS Research Center at Bayes Business School, along with the CRIS Research Center at Royal Holloway University of London, hosted an event entitled Decolonizing the Business School. Over 500 attendees participated, from all business disciplines, testifying to the strong levels of interest in this topic. Marketing was particularly active, with over 100 participants. In this article, I (Giana Eckhardt, one of the organizers of the event) speak with the marketing break out room facilitators – Russ Belk, Tonya Bradford, Susan Dobscha, Güliz Ger and Rohit Varman – in a wide-ranging conversation about what decolonization means to the field of marketing, and what marketing academics can do if they would like to explore these ideas further. First, we offer a brief introduction to decolonization. Also, a list of resources for the interested reader is presented as well as ideas for further exploration in this nascent domain at the end.

Martin Hartmann ve şarkiyat çalışmaları
(Turkish Studies Publisher, 2011) Cengiz, Semran
19. yüzyılda, sömürgecilik faaliyetleri sonucunda dünyada söz sahibi ülkeler olarak öne çıkan İngiltere ve Fransa’ya yetişmeye çalışan Almanya, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’yla askeri, siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel yönden ilişkilerini geliştirerek yarışa dahil olmaya çalışır. Bu dönemde Almanya’da hız kazanan şarkiyat çalışmaları neticesinde birçok araştırmacı Doğu’ya gelir. Bu şarkiyatçılardan biri olan Martin Hartmann, Kuzey Afrika’dan Çin’e kadar seyahatler yaparak bu bölgelerde yaşayan toplumların din, dil, edebiyat, tarih, coğrafya ve gelenekleri hakkında malzemeler toplayıp onlarca eser kaleme alır. Ortadoğu’nun siyasi yönden çalkantılı olduğu bir dönemde gelen Hartmann, siyasi hareketlerden de uzak kalmayarak Osmanlı egemenliğindeki Arapların bağımsızlık çabalarını teşvik eder. Türkoloji alanında da çalışmalar yapmış olan Hartmann, sabırsız ve aceleci kişiliğinin bir sonucu olarak zaman zaman önyargılı değerlendirmelerde bulunur.

Nazım Hikmet'in sömürgecilik karşıtı şiirlerinde romanlaşma, çok seslilik ve mizah
(2008) Terzioğlu, Öykü
This thesis deals with the functioning of the formal and stylistical devices in Nâzım Hikmet’s “novelized” poems, Jokond ile Sİ-YA-U (1929), Benerci Kendini Niçin Öldürdü? (1932) and Taranta-Babu’ya Mektuplar (1935), in the representation of anti-colonialism from the perspective of historical materialism. The departure point of the thesis is the “reading contract” Nâzım Hikmet makes with his readers by categorizing his narrative poems as “novel”s, and Mikhail Bakhtin’s assertion that all genres are to some extent “novelized” in an era where novel “dominates” the literary arena. According to Bakhtin, the fundamental transformation in these novelized genres is their acquiring the capability of representing the multi-voiced modern society, and their becoming humorous, which leads to the relativization of the homophony dictated by dominant ideologies. This thesis’s claim, thus, is that Nâzım Hikmet’s anti-colonial narrative poetry’s novelization brings along its polyphonization, which renders possible the representation of the conflict between the European high social classes and the colonial people, regarded as “natural worker classes”. This thesis also asserts that humor, also related to the novelization of poetry, serves as the main literary device in the representation of the colonial peoples’ revolution on a symbolical level.

Sömürgeciliğe karşı : Abdülhak Hâmid tiyatrosu
(2007) Kebeli, Sevim
The aim of this thesis is to explore the imperialist context in Abdülhak Hâmid Tarhan’s (1852-1937) plays, namely Duhter-i Hindû (1876), Finten (1898), Cünûn-ı Aşk (1925-26), Yabancı Dostlar (1924-25) and Yadigâr-ı Harb (1917), by using post-colonial theories. In the first chapter, Hâmid’s position towards classical Ottoman Turkish literature and appropriating new genres from Western literature was analyzed in relation to the concepts such as “appropriation” and “authenticity”. Abdülhak Hâmid was trying to combine new genres with classical Ottoman literary tradition to reach a synthesis. In the second chapter Duhter-i Hindû was read as a political criticism of British colonialism. The third chapter focuses on the conflicts between English society and the people coming from British colonies, and the psychological effects of colonialism on the colonized people. The intertextual relations between Finten and Shakespeare’s plays were scrutinized in terms of imperialism. The last chapter focuses on the cultural effects of imperialism in Cünûn-ı Aşk. This chapter also deals with the conflict between imperialism and culture which is apparent in Yadigâr-ı Harb, Yabancı Dostlar and Cünûn-ı Aşk. The thesis concludes that Abdülhak Hâmid did not only write about political aspects of colonialism but also emphasized its cultural and psychological effects. The criticism of colonialism in these plays was limited to the British Empire. Hâmid did not only criticize colonialism but he also undermined essentialist discourses such as Orientalism.
