This collection of essays discusses various aspects of the experiences of Turkish immigrants in the United States, and of US expatriates in Turkey. It explores the predicament of the Turkish-American element on US soil, in a manner paralleling already existent disciplines such as Italian-American Studies and German-American Studies, and assembles disparate research on the subject. As such, it will serve to herald in print the launching of a new paradigm, Turkish-American Studies. The volume fits within transnational American Studies, but also develops its own approach, which is what constitutes its novelty.

A revelatory look at the life of the great American author—and how it shaped his most beloved works Jack London was born a working class, fatherless Californian in 1876. In his youth, he was a boundlessly energetic adventurer on the bustling West Coast—an oyster pirate, a hobo, a sailor, and a prospector by turns. He spent his brief life rapidly accumulating the experiences that would inform his acclaimed bestselling books The Call of theWild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf. The bare outlines of his story suggest a classic rags-to-riches tale, but London the man was plagued by contradictions. He chronicled nature at its most savage, but wept helplessly at the deaths of his favorite animals. At his peak the highest paid writer in the United States, he was nevertheless forced to work under constant pressure for money. An irrepressibly optimistic crusader for social justice and a lover of humanity, he was also subject to spells of bitter invective, especially as his health declined. Branded by shortsighted critics as little more than a hack who produced a couple of memorable dog stories, he left behind a voluminous literary legacy, much of it ripe for rediscovery. In Jack London: An American Life, the noted Jack London scholar Earle Labor explores the brilliant and complicated novelist lost behind the myth—at once a hard-living globe-trotter and a man alive with ideas, whose passion for seeking new worlds to explore never waned until the day he died. Returning London to his proper place in the American pantheon, Labor resurrects a major American novelist in his full fire and glory.

Based on a medieval extrabiblical Christian legend, the figure of the Wandering Jew has long served as a negative representation of all Jews. Condemned by Christ to endless wandering and everlasting life, the Wandering Jew has lived on ever since in literature and criticism as a legendary and symbolic paradigm, ranging from anti-Jewish stereotype to the generalized cultural Other. While Romanticism took him outside of the Jewish context, nineteenth-century antisemitic racism again adopted the figure in an evolving discourse that culminated in his image in Nazi propaganda as the despicable, racialized cultural Other who needed to be exterminated. The present work takes up this trope in all its complex, intersecting facets and shifts the focus of the inquiry from the perspective of the dominant culture to that of the Jewish Other. Starting with nineteenth-century American popular and mainstream writers, it explores the responses to, and the subversions and reinventions of, the paradigmatic figure in works by a variety of European, Canadian, and American Jewish writers and thinkers. It also opens the discussion to the broader issues of contemporary society and politics, such as pervasive uprootedness, transborder migration, the plight of refugees, and states’ rights versus human rights.

It is mainly within and around Mediterranean itineraries that the European Union seeks its in/tangible cultural heritage, an important component of both individual and collective identities. This volume brings together many different strands of analysis, helping to shed light on the multifaceted entities that constitute the socio-semiotic landscape of the Mediterranean. It views this vibrant scenario from a cross-cultural perspective, and investigates the domains of national identities and stereotypes, advertising and social media, TV series, myths and festivals, landscapes, culture-bound terms, migrating words, and food. More specifically, some chapters revolve around issues of intra-/inter-group identities in the context of itineraries of recent or historical migrations, and how such variegated identities are re-shaped by and through the media, in a dynamic interplay of symbols and clichés. In the same vein, gender issues are also addressed in a dimension suspended between tradition and modernity, with a special focus on Turkish women. The multi-dimensional Turkish culture and landscape are also voiced through an example of blended American/Turkish children’s literature. Other chapters explore the language of tourism in the diverse multimodal representations and textualizations of the tourist experience in Mediterranean destinations, mainly expressed through social media. The contemporary appreciation of the Mediterranean Diet as a global cultural heritage is also explored through the magnifying lens of such media. Given the variety of perspectives and methodological approaches adopted by the contributors, this volume offers useful insights to students and practitioners of discourse analysis alike. From an educational perspective, the book, which also includes practical worksheets, can be used in first- and second-level degrees in Foreign Languages, Communication, Political Sciences, Media and Cultural Studies, as well as specific courses in linguistics, multimodal studies, critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics. The underlying rationale of the book is its concentration on the prominent role of English in representing the Mediterranean heritage, despite the fact that it is a non-Mediterranean language. At the same time, the volume bridges the gap between academic research and class practice at the university level.

Here, Jayne L. Warner has created a unique biographical tapestry that illuminates not only the life of one of Turkey's leading literary and cultural authorities, but also the emergence of a republic in his native country, and sheds new light on the history of one of the world's great cities. Sumptuously illustrated throughout with evocative period pictures of Istanbul, Turkish Nomad tells the extraordinary life story of this poet, thinker, and diplomat. As a young boy, Halman surveyed the last vestiges of the Ottoman Empire, walked through the ruins of Byzantium, and grew up in the modern nation created by the charismatic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Talat S. Halman would go on to serve the republic as its first minister of culture. The more than four decades Halman lived primarily in the United States are not overlooked but are used to discuss how his ideas developed as he taught at leading unversities-Princeton, Columbia, New York University-and introduced Americans to Turkish literature and culture through his translations and public lectures. We In the Turkish Nomad we follow the literary, scholastic, and journalistic journey of a restless writer, who might best be described by the title of one of his books, The Turkish Muse, his 2006 collection of literary reviews tracing the development of Turkish literature during the Turkish Republic.

Paul Benjamin Auster, Sven Birkerts tarafından 1992 yılında “Çağdaş Amerikan edebiyat şölenindeki hayalet” olarak kabul edilmiştir çünkü onun modernist eserleri tartışma tarzı, aktif kategorilere pek uymamaktadır. O zamandan bu yana onun Amerikan edebiyatındaki yeri ve önemi birçok edebiyat eleştirmeni tarafından incelenmiştir. Düzyazı tarzında sert bir üslubu öncelerken, öte yandan, minimalistler ile çok fazla ortak noktası olmadığı iddia edilir (Magill, 1997). 3 Şubat 1947’de New York’ta doğan Auster, üçüncü kuşaktan Yahudi bir aileye mensuptur. Birçok eserde kimi zaman ismi ile kimi zaman da karakteri ile atıfta bulunulan annesi Queenie, babası da Samuel Auster’dir. Paul Auster, annesi ile babasının boşanmasından sonra ayrı yaşadığını, beraber geçirdiği yıllarda ise hiç bir zaman gerçek bir baba-oğul ilişkisi kurmadığı babasından, eserlerinde doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak çokça bahsetmiştir. Auster, Yalnızlığın Keşfi (1982) ve Cebi Delik (1997) adlı eserlerinde hem anne ve babasıyla olan ilişkilerindeki karmaşayı hem de anne-babasının birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerini irdeler (Kellman, 2006). Auster’in edebiyat hayatına adım atması onun çocukluk yıllarına dayanır. Ay Sarayı (2000) adlı kitabında Fogg karakterine atıfta bulunduğu hikâyesinde olduğu gibi, edebiyata olan ilgisi dayısının kitapları ile başlamıştır. Auster liseye başlamadan önce dayısı yurt dışına gider ve kitaplarla dolu kolileri kendisine bırakır. Aynı zamanda bir şair ve çevirmen olan Allan Mandelbaum’dan kalan kitaplar onun edebi mirasının temelini oluşturmuştur. Auster’in eserlerindeki para ve materyalizm ilişkisi ile birlikte yazar olma tutkusu bu zamanlardan kalmadır. Karanlıktaki Adam (2008), yaşlı ve sefil bir edebiyat eleştirmeninin aklından distopik alternatif bir gerçekliğin geçtiği uykusuz gecesini; Sunset Park (2010), Brooklyn’de terk edilmiş bir binada yasadışı olarak yaşayan bir grup genç sanatçıya yönelik saldırıları anlatır. Auster’in kurgusunun çoğu, kendi olmaya dair fikirleri araştırdığı ve çoğu zaman yazarın çeşitli açık ve örtülü reenkarnasyonlarda yer almasından ötürü, eleştirmenler genellikle otobiyografinin unsurlarını ne ölçüde kullandığı hakkında spekülasyonlar yapılmıştır. Örneğin Görünmeyen (2010)’in kahramanının biyografisi, Auster’ın biyografisine çok benzemektedir, ancak cinayetin ve ensestin altını çizen olayın yüksek dozda dramı açıkça kurgusaldır. Açık bir şekilde kurgusal olmamasına, dikkatle incelenmemesine ve bölük pörçük yapısına rağmen, Kış Dergisi (2012) ikinci tekil şahıs anlatımıyla yazılmıştır ve Auster’in deneyimleri, tercihleri ve seyahatleri listelenerek metnin içine serpiştirilmiş ve kendini yansıtan meditasyonlardan oluşmuştur.
