Kemalist modernleşmenin adab-ı muaşeret romanları :popüler aşk anlatıları
(2005) Güneş, Aslı
Popular romances of the Republican Period, which are ignored while discussing the reverberations of the period of national construction, are deemed to be the texts relating the civic interpretation of the Kemalist modernization movement. In this sense, popular romances serve as pilots in the civic mobilization as the texts based on the most stylized interpretation of the “occidental rules of good manners” which are indispensable to lead the way to the creation of the civilized nation. The objective of this thesis is to examine the account of civilization resulting to be different from the interpretation of the canonic literature departing from Norbert Elias’s theory of civilization and the descriptions of the occidental genre of the Novel of Manners. The titles to be tackled as the Novel of Manners of the Kemalist modernization are You and I (1933), The Thunder of Love (1935) and The Endless Night (1938) by Muazzez Tahsin Berkand, Funda (1939) and Is That My Sin? (1939) by Kerime Nadir and Nedret (1938) by Güzide Sabri.

Murathan Mungan öykülerinde ulusal erkeklikler
(2021-05) Koçak, Gizem
Bu çalışmada Murathan Mungan öykülerindeki krizdeki ulusal erkeklik temsillerinin ulus-devlet ideolojisinin normatif erkeklik ideallerine müdahale içeren erkeklik temsilleri olduğunu tartışıyorum. Bu bağlamda ulus-devletler için cinsiyetli ve itaatli özneler üretme amacının bir parçası haline gelen performativitenin Mungan metinlerinde krizdeki ulusal erkekliklere alternatif oluşturan oluş halinde, sınırları belirsizleşmiş ve hibrit bedenlenme deneyimlerine dayalı insan sonrası erkeklik olanakları sunduğunu gösteriyorum. Mungan öykülerinin yakın okumaya dayalı analizi yoluyla bu çalışmada erkekliğin ulus-devletin öngördüğü gibi sabit bir cinsiyet kategorisi olmadığını ve tartışmasız bir güç ve ayrıcalık konumunu temsil etmediğini öne sürüyorum.

Nation and nationalism according to Islamists during second constittutional period, a case study : Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad
(2014) Gündoğdu, Şenol
This study examines Islamist understanding of nation and nationalism during the Second Constitutional Period (1908-1918) by examining the most important Islamist journal of that era; Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad. Islamism emerged as a reactionary ideology against Western threats toward the ‘backward’ Islamic world and the Ottoman Empire. This ideology sought to establish genuine Islam by looking back into original sources and the Golden Age (Asr-ı Saadet). This process aimed to revitalize the Islamic world and unite Muslims against the Western threats. As an Islamist journal in the Second Constitutional Period, Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad presented an Islamic modernist understanding dependent upon the revival of Islam and the Ottoman Empire with reference to real Islam against the Western threats. However, according to Islamists ethnic and secular nationalisms corrupted the unity of Muslims. This study argues that the journal, Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad, was against separatist nationalism(s), especially Muslim nationalism(s) for the sake of the Ottoman Empire’s survival and Islamic unity (Pan-Islam). This study begins by presenting a general discussion of Islamism in the historical context of the Ottoman Empire, examining the history of the Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad journal, and its emphasis on nation, nationalism and their relation with Islam and the Ottoman Empire. This study assess how selected texts from the Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad represent Islamist understandings of the nation and nationalism and how Islamists identified the Islamic nation concept. In summation this study argues that Sırat-ı Müstakim-Sebilürreşad had an Islamist national understanding which aimed to save first the Ottoman Empire, then the Islamic world through the revival of Islam.
