Yet, few sy;temàtic an~lYSeS of the , direct impact of his work have been completed. -Thi s thes i 5 wi 11 s tudy hi s thought in order to di séover a sys tem that can serve as a model against which the poetry of ~he Be~ Hêceciler, members or the national poetic movement, can be examined fo~ the purpose of determinin~ the Qature of GDkalp's influence on both ~orm and theme. This study introHuces the issue of certain cOlexisten~ bJt contra- t dictory elements tn ~Okalp's'philosophy which underl~y the interaction of form and theme in the wo;ks of these poets and shows how"consequently, y~ attempts ta diversify poetic themes, ta approach poetic realism or even ~~,>f- to fulfil the Turkist requirement that form and theme reflect the • culture of the people, were'fraught with fundamental problems. ! .. i ,.- ( , ' , ( .

Cependant, des analyses r" ,\ systematiques sur la nature de cette influence sont peu nombreuses. Cette thèse exami nera 1 es oeuvres de Gljka 1 p pour découvri r un syst~me qUl pourrait servir comme modèle de comparaison pour la ... poésie des Ber Hececiler, qui sont eux-mêmes représentants du mouvement national de poésle, avec l'intention de déterminer la / mesure de son lnfluence. Ceci démontrera que certalns éléments co-existents mais - contradictoires sont contenus dans la philosophle de Gëkalp et ,que ceux-ci sont à la base'de l'interaction entre les formes et thèmes util i sés par ces poètes. Dans 1a suite, \a thèse i ndi quera que 1 es efforts de ces poètes a di versifi er leurs' thèmes poètiques, à écri re de mani~re r~allst~ et même ~ rêaliser les demandes Turquistes que la forme et le thème tous deux salent lnspirés par ceu.~ utilisés par 1~' peuple, conf~ontalent des problèmes fond~mentâux . .d' , / ., ( \ 1 J " , 1 / " 1 ( t, " -, For my grandfather..

( , Cc. { INTRODUC"fION ,Ziya Go~alp is most commonly recognized as the ideologist whose thought stands behind the principles and,reforms of the nationalist regime under AtatUrk. Vet, the degree to WhlCh his philosophy actually influenced ldeology, po1itlca1 and socid1 thinklng and touched a11 aspects of the Turkish commitment to national renewal and reconstruction ,...- has hardly been studied. :Certalnly, there has been little analysis of his thought for the purpose of discoverlng the nature of the system that underlay his various and diverse works spannin~ a per'iod from 1911 ta 1924. One of the areas that Gokalp most ,nfluenced~ as a result of his -v 9 philosaphy and hls,own predilectipns, was that of 1iterat~re, and especial1y poetry: It;s the pUli'"pose of thlS .study tb establish a , " framework based on GHkalp's works in order that~hey might be established as ~ cohesiv~ unit ~r mode1, against WhlCh Turkist cultural principles and th~ applicatlon of these principles wlthln the Natlonal Llterature movement can be'compared. The thesis will show how G5kalp's philo~ophy was ref,l ected bath in terms of "farm and theme in the works of the prime . , • representatives of the national poetlc movement, the Bes Hececiler • 'and then, how assumptlons and inconsis~encies, only implicit in his 1 thought, revealed themselves upon 'applicat,~n wlthin the works of thes~ poets and created a situation where trends ln theme inevltably resul~ed in a betrayal of the lnten~tion motlvating lnnovatlOn ln form. The study will conslst of three parts. Chapter l will trace the development of Gokalp's ~hought on the relationshlp of ldeals, values anq social evolution and devèlo p a framework, on both a general level and ".. .... ("- a parallel national level, against which Turklsh reform strategies, involving issues as disparate as language, law and economics, can be 1. seen as an lndlvlsible unit. , . 2 The IIHa 1 ka Dogru" (Towards the People) movement exemp 1 ifi ed the impact of Gëkalp's ph,i1osophy on culture and lnitiated revolûtionary trends in' llterary language and form, among other things. Yet,' this t movement, baslcally individualist and liberal in nature, in terms of its treatment 'of theme, was also influenced by aspects of Gëkalp's thought involvlng the relationship of individu~l to natlon. These particular concepts are therefore also investigated ln Chapter I. , Chapter II demonstrates the influence of Ziya Gôkalp's philosophy of ldeals o~ form in the poetry of the Be~ Hececiler by showing how t~ey attempted as required by Turkist principles 'of, cultural reform, to pattern their poetry according to -folk forms' of versification, popular metre and vernacular Turklsh. It then lndicates by an examina­ ti on of repres,~ntati ve extracts of poetry of the Be? Hececil er. how Gokalp's concepts of the creation of the natlon by individuals and thelr subsequent re-creation of soclety within themselves and resulting l • ' embo.diment of social va'lues by their function as ful1y socialized i ndi vi duà l s i nfl uenced and Wère refl ected i,n the themes of these poets. Chapter III examines certain problems and contradicti9ns that qrose in the poetry of the Be~ Hececiler, not l~ terms of thelr artistic, method but rather as a ,result of thei r adhérence to "'assumptions undér- . " . , lying Gokalp's philosgphy, and particularly~his thought on the relation- ", Shlp of i'ndividual to nation, that were lnherently lnconsistent with those concepts that precipltated changes in form. It wll1 show how GBkalp's advocacy of the necessary-irnmersion "of indlvlduality in the l ' callectivity and the consequent requirement of ?oclal homogeneity cantributed ta inherent limitations of poétic theme which the poets were unable to overcome and WhlCh contradicted and belled the intention behind trends i~ form. The overa 11 purpose of thi ~ thes i s l S to examl ne Goka l p' s work and' () ta study one specifie area among the many that were subJect ta the .appllcatlon of hlS philosophy in arder to determlne the degree ta 'which -1" the proponents ot his philosophy adhered ta his concepts and to trace the nature of the problems which, ~rose as a result of this application. ( 1 CHAPTER l ZlYA GOKALP'S PHILOSOPHY OF IDEALS The Relationship of Language and Poetic Reform te National Consciousness ln Ziya GÔkalp's Philosophy of Ideals In 1911, Ziya Gokalp wrote the followil1g words in "Yeni Hayat ve Yeni Klymet1er" (New Life and New Values): "We have athieved the politlcal revolution; now we are confronted with yet another task: to prepare for" the social revolution!"l . His conviction that mere politlcal change was meaningl~ss unless followed by a culturaJ-tand social revolution is at the foundation of his soc1,51l and political • phil osophy, In the same article, he wrote: The political revolution was easy to realize because lt meant merely applying the machinery of the J ... constitutional regime to government. , , . In qrder to put the politlcal revolution into practice. it was enough to di ssemi nate certai n idées-forces, 'such as liberty, equality, and fraternity which symbolize the spirit of the constitutional regime. 2 ' "The social revolution cannot be attained by a mere mechanical action. 1 t wi 11 be di ffi cult to achi Eve because it must be the product of a long process of organlc evolution,,,3 The soclal revolutlOn i s dependent upon the gr~wth and consumma t i on of . certa in sentiments-forces\ Acceptance or rejecti on of the ideas is within the power of reason. The sentiments, on the other hand, cannot evolve easily because they are the product of social habits developed in the course o,f several' centuries,4 The social revolut1on was to be effect~d by d1s-câ:rding the old life and values and creating a New Life, wi~h new economie, domestic, aesthetic, philosophlcal and let,9{ll features.

    TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – July 2020, volume 19 issue 3 The Effect of Intelligence and Mind Games on Secondary School Students’ Writing Success Tülay Sarar KUZU Başkent University, Education Faculty, Turkish Language Teaching Department. TURKEY [email protected] Cansu DURNA Başkent University, Education Faculty, Turkish Language Teaching Department. TURKEY [email protected] ABSTRACT Language, which is the main tool of communication that consists actions without understanding and explaining, has vital importance in every field of life. Mother tongue teaching is a process that enhances school-type learning in all disciplines starting from the primary education level. It is also an area that links to deveoplment of thinking skills. In this context, there is a need for applications that encourages mother tongue development and enriches higher tninking skills based on active learning in educational settings. One of the educational activities that develop high-level thinking skills is Mind-Intelligence Games. Intelligence Games are defined as activities offered for individuals to realize their own potentials, to make fast and correct decisions, to produce their own unique solutions to problems, and to renew themselves continuously. In this study, the applicability of Mind Games in writing Turkish lessons was investigated. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the Intelligence and Mind Games selected in accordance with the content and achievements of the Turkish Lesson Curriculum on the writing process. The research was carried out by quantitative research method on two equivalent groups studying in the 7th grade of a public secondary school. Semi-experimental design with experimental and control groups was used in this research.

  • Loving Sovereignty: Political Mysticism, Şeyh Galib, and Giorgio Agamben
    Loving Sovereignty: Political Mysticism, Şeyh Galib, and Giorgio Agamben Arif Camoglu Comparative Literature Studies, Volume 58, Number 1, 2021, pp. 1-22 (Article) Published by Penn State University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/781861 [ Access provided at 16 Feb 2021 14:11 GMT from Northwestern University Library ] loving sovereignty: political mysticism, şeyh galİ b, and giorgio agamben Arif Camoglu abstract Centering on the poetry of Şeyh Galib (1757–1799), this article considers Ottoman imperial sovereignty in tandem with the discourse of mysticism that underpinned it. A key rhetorical device that enables the abstraction of the politics of empire in this discourse is the metaphor of the beloved sov- ereign. In the mystical writing of Galib, this metaphor gives a spiritual edge to the authority of the sultan and expands the reach of his power beyond its physical limits. The metaphor of the beloved sovereign neutralizes sover- eignty as it turns submission into an act of love, a voluntary abandonment of political agency. To elucidate this obscured dimension of power in Galib’s mysticism, I draw on Giorgio Agamben’s notion of “potentiality.” Proposing that one must pay heed to potentiality in order to dig into “the ontological root of every political power,” Agamben considers “love” the proper medium of a potential resistance to sovereignty. Galib’s poetry, on the other hand, illuminates that which is not addressed in this analogy: love can occasion a commitment to sovereignty that forces itself upon the subject as an “onto- logical” condition, in the way Agamben terms it.

With the completion of this fourth volume of my late friend's History of Ottoman Poetry, which brings us to the end of the ancien regime, and almost into our own times, the character of what remains of my task undergoes a material change. Up to this point I have had before me a manuscript, which, however much the author, had he lived, might have modified or added to it, was essentially com- plete, and needed only trifling alterations and occasional notes. For the period which remains, the period, that is to say, of the New School, who deserted Persian for French models, and almost re-created the Turkish language, so greatly did they change its structure and the literary ideals of their countrymen, only three chapters were to be discovered amongst my friend's papers. Of these, the first, entitled "the Dawn of a New Kra", treats of the character and in- ception of the movement, and, in a general way, of its chief representatives, vi/.
