ŞEHİRLEŞME, TÜRK EDEBİYATI Ve YENİ ŞEHİRLİLER: 1950-1980
FROM MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN TO ÖKSÜZ BROOKLYN: TRANSLATING THE STYLE OF JONATHAN LETHEM Burç İdem DİNÇEL Abstract The works of the contemporary American author Jonathan Lethem suggest themselves as a fertile ground for a sound discussion of style during the translation process due to the distinctive style that the author develops in his novels. This study entitled “From Motherless Brooklyn to Öksüz Brooklyn: Translating the Style of Jonathan Lethem” takes the aforementioned argument as a point of departure, and provides an analysis of the Turkish translation of Motherless Brooklyn from the vantage point of stylistics, as well as from the perspective of the notion of metonymics. In terms of analyzing the style of the target text and source text respectively, this paper benefits from Raymond van den Broeck‟s model so as to develop a descriptive approach. Furthermore, as regards to the notion of metonymics, this paper draws on Maria Tymoczko‟s theoretical writings on the subject in order to demonstrate the metonymic aspects of Motherless Brooklyn, and the second chapter of the novel “Motherless Brooklyn” respectively, with the purpose of setting the ground for a stylistic analysis of the target text through the notion of metonymics. Moreover, by concentrating on the excerpts from “Öksüz Brooklyn”, the article provides a stylistic analysis of Sabri Gürses‟ translation with the intention of offering the chance for the reader to trace the distinctive style of Jonathan Lethem through the Turkish translation of his novel. Key Words: Style, stylistics, metonymics, Jonathan Lethem, decisions in translation. Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Çeviribilim Bölümü Yüksek Lisans Öğrencisi, Çevirmen. 52 Burç İdem DİNÇEL Özet Çağdaş Amerikan yazar Jonathan Lethem‟ın eserleri, yazarın romanlarında geliştirdiği biçem dikkate alındığında, çeviri sürecinde biçem kavramının sahip olabileceği rolü inceleyebilmek açısından verimli bir zemin oluşturmaktadır. -

(Bakhtin, Rabelais 66) 1 “‘Accusatony! Excusebaloney! Funnymonopoly!’ I squeezed my eyes shut to interrupt the seizure of language” (MB1 175). This short passage provides a significant sample of how the hero narrator’s Tourette’s syndrome manifests itself in Jonathan Lethem’s 1999 detective novel, Motherless Brooklyn. “The distinctiveness” of the narrative lies in the “proliferation of Lionel’s verbal tics” (Fleissner 390). While Tourette’s provokes Lionel Essrog’s linguistic outbursts, it breaks and intrudes upon the narrative, introducing dramatic nonsense into the text—even more dramatic when italics are used and the portmanteau words stand out on the page. -

A young girl is murdered in a cemetery. A compelling story of mysterious identity and untimely death, Murder Being Once Done is Rendell at her most sublime. For the canny, tireless, and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature, whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes. Since that first novel, Ruth Rendell has also demonstrated a keen fascination with the collision between society and the individual, particularly where circumstances drive the individual to behaviour that society Murder Being Once Done: (A Wexford Case) as somehow abnormal. Stable structures have only limited interest; what is gripping is where things start to fall apart, and that is the area where Ruth Rendell excels. Never content with mere description, she illuminates the human condition in a style that is invariably clear and compelling. Although she started with that most classic of English forms, the police procedural, she transformed it both with her psychological insights and her concern with society. She never descends to polemic, yet the picture she has painted of British society since the mid-Sixties is often far from neutral. It is clear that many things she sees make Ruth Rendell angry or despair, but her responses are always tempered through the filter of her characters; she always shows, never tells. -

See the list. Wexford's murder suspect is about to slip away. For Wexford and his team a race against time begins and the DCI has to pull all stops to solve a murder case that left him with only one single clue - a woman's hand print. Relying on the help of his nephew and a trusted colleague, Wexford finally proves that his hunch was right. Will he and his team be able to stop a murderer and his accomplice before it's too late? But Reg Wexford doesn't realize that Shake Hands For Ever: (A Wexford Case) is in for yet another surprise. Written by Jasper P. Reg Wexford may not be the most dynamic detective of all, but when it comes to dogged patience, Wexford is the top cop. Shake hands forever displays his capabilities perfectly. It's not a whodunnit is such, as the identity of the killer is pretty obvious, and not exactly challenged. Tom Wilkinson is very good, he has some terrific scenes with George Baker. I must heap praise on Baker himself, he always seemed to play ruthless Government officials, and shady villains, his role here is rugged, but heart felt. He has some great scenes where he's holding off being seduced. -

1 This is a peer-reviewed manuscript version. The final version is published in Contemporary Women’s Writing with the following citation: Schnabel, Jennifer. "Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford." Contemporary Women's Writing 11.1 (2017): 102-120. https://doi.org/10.1093/cww/vpw044 Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford Ruth Rendell first introduced Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford in From Doon with Death in 1964; we last see him 49 years later in No Man’s Nightingale. Rendell develops the protagonist in her detective series, which includes 24 novels and five short stories, by adapting the conventions and tropes of the detective and police procedural genres set forth by her predecessors like Georges Simenon, Dorothy Sayers, and Ed McBain. However, while her detectives operate within the framework of the fictional Kingsmarkham police department, Rendell did not stifle Wexford with mundane bureaucratic constraints. Instead, she focused on presenting a realistic man with idiosyncrasies, shortcomings, and fears, as well as a character who adapts to the changing social and cultural environment alongside the reading public. Rendell has called Wexford “a fantasy policeman in a fantasy world,” using investigative methods which do not always adhere to standard police procedures (Salwak 87). As a result, forensic details are also largely missing from her narratives, such as in-depth descriptions of autopsies, lab processes, and coroner reports found in other contemporary crime novels and popular television programs. She said, “The wonder is that thousands of readers (including policemen!) seem to like it this way” (87). -
Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E a LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE and SOCIETY
Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction REPRESENTATIONS: H E A LT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience. -
Illiteracy: the Ultimate Crime
ILLITERACY: THE ULTIMATE CRIME Ana de Brito Politecnico do Porto, Portugal The iss ue of reading ha s a privileged positi on in Ruth's Rendell's novels. In several, the uses of reading and its effects are disc ussed in some detail. But so are the uses of not reading and the non-read ers. The non-readers in Rendell's novels also have a special position . The murderer in The Hou se of Stairs is a non-reader but even so she is influenced by w hat other peopl e read. Non-readers often share the view that reading is an tisocial or that it is difficult to und er stand th e fascination that book s, those "small, flattish boxes"l have for their read ers. But Burd en is the most notoriou s non -reader w ho co mes to mind. His evolu tio n is ske tched throughout the Inspector Wexford mysteries. In From Doom with Death (1964) he thinks that it is not healthy to read, but Wexford lends him The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse for his bedtime reading, and the effects on his turn of phrase are immediate: 'I suppose the others could have been just-well , playthings as it we re, and Mrs. P. a life-long love.' 'Christ!', Wexford roared . 'I should never have let you read that book. Playthings, life-long love! You make me puke' (p. 125). In the 1970 novel A Cuiltlj Thing Surprised, Burden still feels embarrassed by his superior's "ted ious bookishness", and knows th e difference between fiction and real life.Pro us tia n or Shakespearean references are lost on Burden in No More Dying Fragmentos vol. -
Diagnostic Methods to Assess the Chronic Impairment
Journal of European Psychology Students, Vol. 3, 2012 The Deconstruction of Gilles de la Tourette’s Syndrome Rowan Voirrey Sandle Contact: [email protected] Abstract The present deconstruction of Gilles de la Tourette’s Syndrome introduces this complex disorder using an existential paradigm. An analysis of the history of constructed reason and power highlights the assumptions of ‘disorder’ that infiltrate society and serves to critique predisposed thought with reference to Tourette’s. The review considers the representationalist theory of language and concepts within psychiatric discourse. A brief analysis of previous case studies shows Tourettic energy as part of the individual ‘self’ and introduces a comparison of Tourettic movement to more mutual human experience, such as music and poetry. Past research that explores preventative social interaction is introduced, which show positive advancements in treatment by challenging the conventions of internal etiology and which highlights the importance of reducing attached stigma.

Emily Russell Carnegie 114 Am Lit Fiction: [email protected] Office Hours: WF 10-11; TR 11:00-12:30 High and Low Culture For English majors, the department has broken up your American literature requirement into two courses: the historical survey (303) and genre study (304). By “genre study,” we mean fiction, poetry, or drama—the long-standing divisions among major classes of literature. But there are cascading definitions of the term genre, and when we speak about “genre fiction” or “genre movies,” we are much more likely to mean the collection of texts that falls under science fiction, detective fiction, fantasy, romance, the western, and horror. Despite strikingly obvious differences in conventions and setting, these texts can be grouped under the umbrella of “genre fiction” because they share features like focus on plot, a turn away from realism, and—above all—mass-market appeal. “Literary fiction,” by contrast, emphasizes craft and meaning, ooften appeals to academic audiences, and is understood as a virtuous endeavor. Genre fiction is trash. Time and tastes change, however. The novel, once considered low art suitable only for women, and “fast” women at that, has a firm place in the academy. Writers like Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Edgar Allen Poe who were writing in widely-circulated periodicals are now considered classics. Our most heralded contemporary authors are exploring genre conventions in their award-winning literary fictioon: Colson Whitehead writes about zombies, Michael Chabon writes science fiction, and Cormac McCarthy is doing serial killers and the apocalypse. This course will look at examples of genre fiction, froom the popular archetypes to the high literary experiments.
