  • Sapkota 1 Chapter I: Critique of Western Modernity Through Liminal
    Sapkota 1 Chapter I: Critique of Western Modernity through Liminal Space: An Introduction Ferit Orhan Pamuk, a Turkish writer, presents the critique of western hegemonic modernity through his in-between space in his prize winning novels The New Life and My Name is Red. Orhan Pamuk's novels are philosophical thrillers constructed around the clash between the modern western and Turkish traditional views of artistic meanings, which create a chasm between two world civilizations. The mainstay of the Turkish modernization project in the twentieth century has been relegating religion to the private sphere. To this end, traditions associated with Islamic civilization were banned from Turkish public life. Women gained a degree of public presence and the semblance of equality. Western style clothing became the only acceptable mode in public life. Traditional laws with religious character gave way to modern legal codes and above all, the Arabic script was replaced by its European counterpart. With all due respect to modern Turkey’s founder Kemal Ataturk, especially his vision for a new Turkey and statesman like tact in laying its grounds, the political and intellectual climate of the 1920s was more suitable for carrying out such a radical program of cultural change. Pamuk finds Ataturk’s imposition of modernization in Turkey, the reflection of western hegemonic modernity, which has already relegated the traditional Islamic culture. Turkey has neither come out from the traditional Islamic culture nor has it been fully able to adopt the western idea of modernity. Orhan Pamuk has presented this juncture of the country and liminal identity of his own in his novels The New Life and My Name is Red.

  • Pamuk and World Literature
    ORHAN PAMUK & WORLD LITERATURE LIT 276/TURKISH 345-645/SES 345/AMES 382 Spring 2013 Prof. Erdağ Göknar T/Th, 1:25-2:40, 106 Carr Turkish & Middle Eastern Studies Office hrs: T/Th 4:30 (TBD) [email protected] Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk has gained international recognition for his innovative novels and his status as a dissident author. As such, he and his work have become symbols of intense cultural and political change as Istanbul and Turkey emerge into – and become legible in – the global arena. In tracing Pamuk’s transformation from national to global author, this course undertakes a journey of cultural translation from one national tradition to a “world republic of letters.” We will be reading the novels of the Nobel laureate as an introduction into the politics of world literature, and examining Pamuk's role as an author who mediates between the Ottoman past, the Turkish national tradition and an international canon represented by the work of (and some film adaptations from) Borges, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Faulkner, Nabokov, Eco, and Rushdie. In the process, we will be asking larger questions about secularism, Islam, collective memory, and cultural practice. This is not a traditional literature class, but an interdisciplinary seminar that turns to literature to examine transformations in Turkish history, identity, and culture. Class time will be spent in a combination of discussion and short lecture. Secondary discussions will address key concepts such as historiography, intertextuality, orientalism, Sufism, modernism, metafiction, and postcolonialism. Readings, written responses, journal entries and comparative analyses will provide the context for students to select and develop a final research project.

  • Lith in Orhan Pamuk's Novel, the Red Haired Woman
    MY RED HAIR IS MY FREEDOM: IMAGE OF LI- LITH IN ORHAN PAMUK’S NOVEL, THE RED HAIRED WOMAN Doç. Dr. Şahika KARACA * ABSTRACT: In this study, Gülcihan, a woman character in Orhan Pamuk’s The Red Haired Woman referring to the image of Lilith who is known as the first wife of Adam in Western Mythology was ana- lysed. In feminist literature Lilith is one of the representatives of femme fatale/fatal woman/diabolic woman with her libertarian spirit. One of the most significant characteristics of Lilith is being an equalitari- an/libertarian woman, and the other is her leading to catastrophe through her red hair’s fascinating and voluptuous effect. Similarly, Gülcihan in Orhan Pamuk’s The Red Haired Woman forms her libertarian woman identity through her red hair and she has a fatal effect leading to catastro- phes in the novel. In this study, character analysis of Gülcihan in The Red Haired Woman has been targeted referring to the analogy of the image of Lilith. Keywords: Lilith, Orhan Pamuk, The Red Haired Woman , Sexual Identity, Fatal Woman. Kırmızı Saçlarım Özgürlüğümdür : Orhan Pamuk ’un Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın Romanında Lilith İmgesi ÖZ: Bu çalışmada Batı mitolojisinde Hz. Adem’in ilk karısı olarak geçen Lilith imgesi etrafında Orhan Pamuk’un Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın romanın- da kadın karakter Gülcihan değerlendirilmiştir. Lilith feminist literatürde öz- gürlükçü yapısıyla femme fatale/ölümcül/şeytan kadın tipinin temsilcilerindendir. Lilith’in en önemli özelliklerinden birisi eşitlikçi/özgür bir kadın olması, diğeri de kırmızı saçlarıyla haz veren büyüleyici bir etkiyle felaketlere yol açmasıdır. Orhan Pamuk’un Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın romanında da Gülcihan kırmızı saçlarıyla özgür kadın kimliğini inşa eder ve bu kimliğiyle romanda felaketlere yol açan ölümcül bir etkiye sahiptir.

  • 3. My Name Is Red – Orhan Pamuk
    My Name is Red Orhan Pamuk 2 You slew a man and then fell out with one another concerning him. —Koran, The“ Cow. ” The blind and the seeing are not equal. —Koran, The“ Creator.” To God belongs the East and the West. 3 I AM A CORPSE I am nothing but a corpse now, a body at the bottom of a well. Though I drew my last breath long ago and my heart has stopped beating, no one, apart from that vile murderer, knows what s’ happened to me. As for that wretch, he felt for my pulse and lis tened for my breath to be sure I was dead, then kicked me in the midriff, carried me to the edge of the well, raised me up and dropped me below. As I fell, my head, which he d’ smashed with a stone, broke apart; my face, my forehea d and cheeks, were crushed; my bones shattered, and my mouth filled with blood. For nearly four days I have been missing: My wife and children must be searching for me; my daughter, spent from crying, must be staring fretfully at the courtyard gate. Ye s, I know they r e’ a l l a t t h e w i n d o w , h o p i n g f o r m y return. But, are they truly waiting? I can t even’ be sure of that. Maybe they ve ’ gotten used to my absence — how dismal! For here, on the other side, one gets the feeling that one s’ former life persists.

  • Orhan Pamuk's My Name Is Red and Snow: Representations of the Clash Between the East and the West

(2019). Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red and Snow: Representations of the clash between the east and the west. Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi , 16 (43), 1-17. Abstract The clash between the East and the West, in other words, the East-West dichotomy, has various connotations in numerous of scientific fields like sociology, geography, history, religion, and literary studies. Despite the difference in its practices, it continues to represent this historical division or polarization between the two fractions of the world, namely the East and the West, which is still in existence in this modern world of today. This article sought to explore this polarization from literary perspective. In this regard, Nobel Prize-winning author, Orhan Pamuk’s two prominent literary works have been selected for investigating the extent and depth of the clash between two civilizations. Pamuk invited his readers to explore this prevalent conflict between East and West in his novels, My Name is Red and Snow. Although he declared that he did not believe in this clash, Pamuk skillfully presented this prevalent issue, but approached it from a distinct dimension.

  • Orientalism in Orhan Pamuk's White Castle*
    bilig AUTUMN 2018/NUMBER 87 59-82 Orientalism In Orhan Pamuk’s White Castle* Beyazıt H. Akman** Abstract The two most well-known works of Orhan Pamuk, The White Castle and My Name is Red, are historical fiction set in the time of the Ottoman Empire. These novels represent some of the most common issues the novelist focuses on, such as the East-West binary, questions of cultural identity and differences, and possi- bilities of local and global co-existence. In this article, by focusing on the case of The White Castle, Pamuk’s life, his Nobel prize ac- ceptance and his controversial statements in international press, I examine how a Turkish-born, Muslim novelist portrays Islamic history and the Ottomans predominantly for the European gaze and argue that Pamuk’s historical narrative borrows considerably from the legacy of European Orientalist writings. Key Words Pamuk, Orientalism, postcolonial studies, comparative literature, Nobel, image of Islam, contemporary fiction Date of Arrival: 22 July 2016 – Date of Acceptance: 22 November 2016 You can refer to this article as follows: Akman, Beyazıt.

  • Fictional Displacements: an Analysis of Three Texts by Orhan Pamuk
    Fictional Displacements: An Analysis of Three Texts by Orhan Pamuk Hande Gurses A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the PhD Degree at UCL June 2012 I, Hande Gurses confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 To my parents Didem & Haluk Gurses 3 Abstract This study aims to discuss the structural and contextual configuration of three books by Orhan Pamuk: The White Castle, My Name is Red and Istanbul: Memories of a City. The central line of enquiry will be the possibility of representing identity as the attempt to capture the elements that make the ‘self’ what it is. Without limiting my analysis to an individual or national definition of identity, I will argue that Pamuk, writing through the various metaphysical binaries including self/other, East/West, word/image, reality/fiction, and original/imitation, offers an alternative view of identity resulting from the definition of representation as différance. I will argue that within the framework of Pamuk’s work representation, far from offering a comforting resolution, is a space governed by ambivalence that results from the fluctuations of meaning. Representation, for Pamuk, is only possible as a process of constant displacement that enables meaning through difference and deferral. Accordingly the representation of identity is no longer limited to the binaries of the metaphysical tradition, which operate within firm boundaries, but manifests itself in constant fluctuation as ambivalence. Within this framework I will suggest that Pamuk’s works operate in that space of ambivalence, undermining the firm grounds of metaphysics by perpetually displacing any possibility of closure.
