Öğe English prepositions as function words are not as easy for language learners as normally supposed to be(Batman Üniversitesi, 2022-06-30) Yaş, EminPrepositions as function words and single monomorphemic words are the most basic words of the human language, especially in the context of maintaining daily life. They are probably the first lexes/words entered to the human’s linguistic repertoire, as their requirements in the language are so essential. Prepositions shows various relationships between lexes or phrases in sentences. Among these relationships time, points, position, direction and various degrees of mental or emotional attitudes seem to be significant. The purpose of the research is try to reveal what kind of challenges English prepositions have for the learners and also to confirm if they are as difficult as some linguists have stated before. Another purpose is to find out which features are more difficult among all their entity properties. The results of this study disclose that English prepositions possess very complex structures, different meanings and an associating duty of various types of part of speeches. In particular, those that construct the phrasal verbs require great effort for learning due to the loss of the meaning (sometimes partially, sometimes completely) they undergo. It has been understood that their properties such as steadily changing meaning and function make them quite difficult elements for learners of English.Öğe Representations of African Female Identity beyond Border in Buchi Emecheta’s Second-Class Citizen(ECLSS Online 2020b, 2020-06) Işık, EmrahBuchi Emecheta is considered to be one of the most renowned African female writers and she, throughout her writing career, has been a literary pioneer of African women’s struggle in the face of both the colonization by African men and the discrimination based on racial and gender issues.

In this respect, this study intends to examine the transnational movement of Adah from Nigeria to London with regards to gender, migration and conflict between the identity formation of a woman migrant beyond national border and the patriarchal codes, which is symbolized by her husband, Francis. Moreover, the paper discusses the oppression to which the black immigrants get exposed and aims to lead readers throughout the world to gain insight into that problem beyond border.Öğe Cross-border Irish tradition: diaspora, identity and home in Anna May Mangan’s Me and Mine(Radboud University, 2018-07) Işık, EmrahÖğe History, Truth and Mythmaking in Thomas Kilroy’s the O’neill and Brian Friel’s making history(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2016-11-19) Alemdaroğlu, Şefika NüvidIn a programme note to his play Making History, Friel said that ‘history and fiction are related and comparable forms of discourse and that an historical text is a kind of literary artifact .’ Approached in this context, two plays focusing on a significant date of Irish history, the sixteenth century Anglo Irish relations revolving around Hugh O ‘ Neill, the Earl of Tyrone offer two different versions of the same historical period. The O’Neill written by Thomas Kilroy and Making History by his contemporary playwright Brian Friel. Both playwrights drew upon Sean O’Faolain’s biography, The O ‘Neill (1942). Kilroy focuses on O’Neill’s dilemma between his loyalty to his traditional Gaelic heritage and his commitment to the new modern order. In Friel’s play, O’Neill is portrayed as a leader who is aware that he is making history. Discussing history openly with Lombard, the historian who is recording the moment, O’Neill reads history differently from him and suggests to Lombard to put Mabel, his wife, at the centre of his history of O’Neill. However, in the historical myth, Lombard is creating she remains peripheral and O’Neill becomes a hero of counter-reformation. It is Friel in his own re-making of history who will reinstate her in the centre about four hundred years later. This re-making has, in its turn, ‘metabiologically’ created an atmosphere leading to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. The paper will focus on this multiple fictive and real functions of history as truth and mythmaking in the plays mentioned above.Öğe Feminist rewriting of Nigerian civil war in Buchi Emecheta s destination Biafra(Gaziantep University, 2012-10) Işık, EmrahÖğe Lost charisma: the other(ed) heroes in Zadie Smith's white teeth and Elif Shafak's honour(Journal of Social and Humanities Sciences Research, 2018-10) Işık, EmrahBritain has turned into a multicultural structure soon after the World War II. It is beyond doubt that immigrants participating in this society, especially those from the first generation, have experienced a number of disappointments and racist attitudes. Likewise, the following generations of immigrant families have suffered from similar dismissive attitudes. Moreover, the younger generations mostly remain in cultural in-betweenness as a result of growing up under the influence of both home and host cultures. In spite of their prior tendency to the host culture, they are reminded of their original culture, religion and real position. Then, they begin to shadow forth their rebellious behaviours, take part in some kinds of organizations referring to their otherness and cultural in-betweenness in the society. In this regard, such novels as Zadie Smith’s White Teeth and Elif Shafak’s Honour foregrounds such themes as ‘immigration’, ‘otherness’, ‘cultural in-betweenness’ in a multicultural society. While analyzing the both novels, this paper firstly aims at examining the first generation male characters like Samad and Adem and then discussing the similarities between the second generation male characters such as Millat and Iskender who firstly seem with their charismatic and dominant posture in the groups of their peers but gradually lose their power and fall out of favour as a consequence of deeds leading to their otherness. In this context, the characters specifically exemplify and embody the concepts of ‘otherness’, ‘cultural in-betweenness’ and the subversion of ‘cultural identity’ in the multicultural BritainÖğe The unifying role of fools in William Shakespeare's as you like it and twelfth night(Batman Üniversitesi, 2012-04) Tekalp, Selen; Işık, EmrahShakespeare, kralın soytarısını geliştirmek adına büyük bir katkı sağlar ve soytarılık kavramına yeni bir boyut getirir. Onun palyaçolarıyla soytarıları gerçekçidirler. Shakespeare’in kendisi “gerçekçilik” sözünü aslında hiç telaffuz etmese de bu kavram onun komedilerini ve soytarılarını değerlendirmede oldukça önemlidir. As You Like It ile Twelfth Night’ta bu gerçekliği sergilemek için iki akıllı soytarı, diğer bir deyişle saray soytarısı yaratır: Tocuhstone ve Feste. Her ikisi de saraylılar tarafından itibar gören, soyluların soytarılarıdırlar. Onlar bir bakıma gerçekçi olduklarından gerçekleri üstü kapalı bir biçimde seyirciye aktarmada önemli bir rol üstlenirler. Diğer taraftan da kendilerine, oyunla seyirci arasında uzlaştırıcılık görevi verilmiştir. Karakterleri yatıştırıp oyunun başından sonuna kadar dengeyi sağlamaya çalışırlar. Böylece, onlar sayesinde, oyundaki birlik bozulmaz. Bu soytarıların bunu nasıl başardığı ve bunca değer çatışmasının arasında nerede durdukları merak konusudur. Shakespeare, karşıt fikirleri ortadan kaldırmak yerine değerlerin bir arada bulunmasını (yanyanalık) sağlamaya çalışır. Örneğin, As You Like It eserinde romantik ve anti-romantik öğeler arasında bir uyum olduğu görülür. Aynı şekilde Twelfth Night’ta da ana tema “iki değerlilik”tir. Oyun, aşıkların yanılsamasına dayanır, ancak bu yanılsama en sonunda kendi gerçekliğini de beraberinde getirir. Bütün bu zıtlıklar göz önüne alınarak, her iki eserdeki “soytarılık” kavramı ve karakterlerin birbirleriyle olan ilişkileri bu doğrultuda ele alınacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra, Touchstone ile Feste’nin görünüşle gerçeklik arasındaki dengeyi korumak için Shakespeare tarafından nasıl yaratıldıkları da örneklerle vurgulanacaktır.Öğe Representations of The Irish Diaspora, (post)memory and identity in Maude Casey’s Over the Water(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2018-05) Işık, EmrahThe concepts of immigration and diaspora have always been central to the lives of Irish people. Even if many of them chose not to leave Ireland, it was not possible to get free from the inevitable consequences of the migration, which was mostly triggered by famines or political and historical conflicts between the Irish and the English. Involuntary or traumatic migration, which is also elaborately embraced in Maude Casey’s Over the Water, led the immigrants into the diaspora space. In this regard, this study intends to examine cultural experiences of the first and second generation Irish immigrants and to highlight to what extent they have undergone the cultural conflict between the host and the home culture. Through the second generation representative, Mary, the study also foregrounds the generational conflict in mother-daughter relationship and the identity crisis of the second generation subject who cannot develop her diasporic identity in the face of the absence of ‘home’ which is negotiated by means of the immigrant family’s visit to the homeland during a summer holiday in Ireland. In this respect, the study draws on contemporary diaspora, memory, postmemory and identity theories and theorists in order to discuss the experience of the Irish immigrants with regard to such concepts as diaspora, cultural memory, (post)memory of immigrants shaped as a result of traumatic historical conflicts, diaspora space, diaspora identity, problematization of ‘home’ for the second generation members of immigrant families.Öğe History of Mamluk rebellions model of the rebellions of Tagribermiş and Aynal el-Cekemî(Batman Üniversitesi, 2016) Ağır, Abdullah Mesut; Güneş, SedefMemlûk Devletinin merkez ve bazı vilayetlerinde isyanlar meydana gelmiştir. Bu isyanların merkezlerinden birisi olan Suriye, bu başkaldırıların başlangıç noktası olmuş bazen de sultana karşı olan ayaklananlar için sığınak görevi görmüştür.

Her iki vali de Sultan Barsbay’ın oğlu Aziz Yusuf adına isyan etmiş ve Yusuf, Sultan Çakmak tarafından tahttan indirilmiştir. Gerçekte bunların amacı, tahtı ele geçirmekti. Dahası, bu amaç doğrultusunda bunlar birbirleriyle de ittifak yapmadı. Buna ek olarak, bu Suriye valileri ne diğer bölgelerdeki valileri ne de Anadolu Türkmenlerini taraflarına çekmeyi başarabilmiştir.Öğe Gardens in literature: looking back from an anthropocentric world(Journal of Narrative and Language Studies, 2018-06) Alemdaroğlu, Şefika NüvidFrom the famous poem The Gardenby Andrew Marvell, to that of Seamus Heaney’s Digging, gardens have been depicted as idyllic places, as in classical pastoral poetry and Renaissance poetry and symbolic of ideas about identity, the past and memory. In what is now suggested by the scientists as the appropriate term for the controversial last geological period, some starting it with The Industrial Revolution and some dating it as early as the Agricultural Revolution and the Neolithic Age, “the anthropocene”, the human outlook on gardens and nature as a whole has to be reassessed. The globally catastrophic threat of the immanent extinction of humans as a species loudly drawn attention to by Slavoj Zizek in his 2012 text Welcome to the Anthropocene, calls for a further repositioning of the human than the ecocritical approaches up to now. In this light the whole world can be seen as Eden, the ‘Garden of Bliss’ about to be lost by humans who have inextricably doomed themselves in capitalism. This paper will look at the depiction of gardens in various examples of literature such as the Epic of Gılgamesh, religious poems, Romantic Poetry, Bacon’s Essay on Gardens , Shakespeare’s plays and Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland within an anthropocentric framework.
