  • The Bastard of Istanbul’ Nabanita Chakraborty*
    Contesting Spaces and Conflicting Memories: A Reading of Armenian Diaspora in Elif Shafak’s ‘The Bastard Of Istanbul’ Nabanita Chakraborty* This article explores how the collective identity of the Armenian diaspora is based on the memory of the ‘genocide’ which took place in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. The Republic of Turkey’s official rejection of the term genocide and its complete denial of the act of violence perpetuated against the Armenians has been the focus of politics for the Armenian diaspora.The paper examines issues of contested memory, fractured identity, home and exile through the lens of Elif Shafak’s acclaimed novel The Bastard of Istanbul.Sha- fak’s novel enquires into the politics of tenuously holding onto the cultural memory of the genocide by the Armenian refugees in their resettled lives as American diaspora; it simultaneously critiques the collective amnesia of the Armenian massacre by the Turks.This present study complicates concepts of space/ place, history/ mem- ory, home/exile in the context of the Armenian diaspora. 1 Introduction The state orchestrated genocide of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915 was part of a jihad against all Christians in a bid to convert a plural Ottoman Empire to an Islamist Turkish Republic.1 The Armenians were the last major Christian community concentrated mostly in the eastern prov- inces (now called Eastern Anatolia) in the Ottoman Empire, next to Russia (enemy of Ottomans). The Turks were concerned that the Armenian would join hands with Russia and defeat them in the world war. As a ‘preventive measure’, the Armenians were starved, massacred or forcibly converted to Islam.The survivors of the atrocity were forced to flee Turkey and seek asy- lum in various countries, giving rise to a distinct Armenian diaspora com- munity in the World.

The first shortcoming suggests a theoretical void: that although “a number of different disciplines take comedy as their subject matter, the opportunities afforded to the inter-disciplinary study of comedy are rarely, if ever, capitalized on.”1 The second indicates a methodological void: there is a “lack of literature on ‘how’ to analyse stand-up comedy.”2 This research project examines the relationship between political consciousness and satirical humour in stand-up comedy and attempts to redress these two shortcomings.

  • EU Enlargement, Conditionality, and the Protection of Christian Minorities in Turkey
    EU Enlargement, Conditionality, and the Protection of Christian Minorities in Turkey Author(s): Isaac E. Andakian Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Law and Politics Journal 6 (2020): 45–72 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmlpj.ukma.edu.ua/ EU Enlargement, Conditionality, and the Protection of Christian Minorities in Turkey Isaac E. Andakian PhD student Kennesaw State University, United States Abstract Turkey has had aspirations to join the European Union (EU) and be part of Europe since 1958. The most recent three EU enlargement rounds in 2004, 2007, and 2013 included most Eastern European countries and kept Turkey aside. Turkey has to comply with numerous enlargement conditionalities imposed by the EU to obtain the status of potential membership eligibility. Among these conditionalities are the Copenhagen criteria, which include but are not limited to the respect of minority rights as an inseparable part of Copenhagen’s political criterion. This essay discusses the respect of minority rights in Turkey as a conditionality for its EU accession and focuses on the non-­­Muslim Christian minorities, namely Armenian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox minorities. The findings of this essay present and demonstrate the persecutions and intolerance these minorities have encountered and still encounter in their everyday life within Turkish society by the current Turkish government and its predecessors. As a result, this essay argues that Turkey does not comply with the ‘respect of minority rights’ requirement as prescribed by the Copenhagen criteria, a prerequisite for its EU accession. Consequently, Turkey is not eligible for EU accession from the ‘respect of minority rights’ perspective as it does not fulfill the latter condition.

  • Turkey's EU Accession Negotiations
    Turkey’s EU Accession Negotiations: On the Rocks William Chislett Working Paper (WP) 19/2006 15/09/2006 Area: Europe – WP 19/2006 September 2006 Turkey’s EU Accession Negotiations: On the Rocks William Chislett ∗ For Kemal Kirisci, tireless promoter of Turkey’s EU membership Summary: The first year of Turkey's negotiations to join the European Union have not gone well. The main sticking point is the deadlock over Cyprus, but there are other issues such as freedom of the press and freedom of religion. Meanwhile, there is growing opposition to Turkey's membership among the public at large in the EU-25 and Turks themselves are less keen on joining. Contents Introduction Cyprus: Facing a Crunch The Military: Grappling with the Dismantling of the Pillars of Kemalism Headscarves: Rallying Point for Secularists Freedom of Expression: Scoring Own Goals Freedom of Religion: a Conundrum Kurds: Revival of PKK terrorism Armenia: Still Unresolved The Economy: On the Right Track Energy: Conduit between East and West Turkey’s Soft Power: an Emerging Force Turkey-US Relations: a Casualty of the War in Iraq Conclusion: Appendices Bibliography Introduction One year after the European Union finally agreed to launch accession negotiations with Turkey on 3 October 2005, both sides are becoming increasingly impatient of one another. On the one hand, the European Commission says the government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose Justice and Development Party (AKP) has Islamist roots, is not doing enough to implement reforms or protect freedom of expression and religion. On the other, Ankara believes some countries, in particular France, are moving the goal posts and that the EU, in general, could do more to resolve the deadlock over Cyprus, a problem that could torpedo Turkey’s more than 40-year bid to join the Union.

  • GIDNI 2 LITERATURE 286 MULTICULTURALISM, IDENTITY and FAMILY TIES in ELIF SHAFAK's “THE BASTARD of ISTANBUL” Delia-Maria R
    GIDNI 2 LITERATURE MULTICULTURALISM, IDENTITY AND FAMILY TIES IN ELIF SHAFAK’S “THE BASTARD OF ISTANBUL” Delia-Maria Radu, Assist. Prof., PhD, University of Oradea Abstract: The paper aims to discuss a novel by the Turkish-born writer Elif Shafak, which tackles important issues such as family relationships, generation gaps, personal and general history - including the Armenian genocide, identity, migration and multiculturalism. Keywords:Shafak, novel, identity, family, migration, conflict Born in France and educated at Colegio Británico de Madrid, the Turkish writer Elif Shafak has had a cosmopolitan life, due to which English has become her second language. She has used both languages in her works, and The Bastard of Istanbul is her second novel written in English, published in 2006. ―Elif‖ is the Turkish word for Aleph (allusion to Borges? whose books are read by Armanoush Tchakhmakhchian), the first letter of the Hebrew and Persian alphabet (Ginés, 2012:26) and ―Shafak‖ is her mother‘s first name, meaning ―dawn‖. This is the chosen name (and true identity, apparently) of a writer who reflects on the fact that women keep changing their names, which do not reflect their true identities. (―I was wearing my father‘s name when I was living with my mother, but he meant nothing for me, they were divorced and I didn‘t see him. Now I‘m wearing my husband‘s name, which is artificial. My pen name, Elif Shafak, is who I really am‖, Falconnier, 2010:5) When talking about her life, Elif Shafak always remembers reading a lot in her childhood. Among her favourite books, those which have influenced her, she mentions Gulliverřs Travels, Arabian Nights, Alice in Wonderland, and Don Quixote, so it‘s not surprising that she admits to falling in love with her characters, and having trouble letting them go (we remember how, while writing his novel, Cervantes got close to his main character, who turned from a ridiculous parody – meant to put an end to chivalresque mania – to almost a self-portrait).

  • Generals, Christians and Turkey's European Revolution
    Südosteuropa 58 (2010), H. 3, S. 363-388 CHALLENGES OF EUROPEANIZATION GERALD KNAUS / EKREM EDDY GüZELDERE Generals, Christians and Turkey’s European Revolution Abstract. This paper discusses the process of political change in Turkey since 1999. After a first phase of numerous EU-inspired reforms, this process after 2004 has shifted to a domestic debate over the meaning of these reforms. Understanding how this process unfolds not only is crucial to understanding Turkey, but also to bettergrasping the dynamics of Europeanization. The article looks at two issues in particular that illustrate Turkey’s Europeanization efforts: the position of non-Muslim minorities and the position of the Turkish military. In both fields, reforms have been carried out between 2001 and 2004 followed by signs of serious tensions: a wave of attacks against Turkey’s Christians, culminating in a series of assassinations in 2006 and 2007; and an effort by an important fraction of the military hierarchy to reverse the Turkish armed forces’ loss of political influence. Europeanization in Turkey clearly has become a domestic struggle. Gerald Knaus is the founding Chairman of the European Stability Initiative and Associate Fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy / Harvard Kennedy School. Ekrem Eddy Güzeldere is a political scientist who has worked as an analyst in the Istanbul office of the European Stability Initiative since 2007. After the Helsinki Moment Europeanization has a long history in Turkey and deep roots in the history of the 19th century, but it has meant very different things at different periods. The dramatic power struggles between various elites that are currently shaking Turkish politics are also shaped by different understandings of what a “Euro- pean Turkey” is supposed to look like and of the importance of democracy in this context.

Good read despite an unwelcome left turn.By Pen NameThis was a funny and casually well-written book, a good read But it's a little frustrating because it abandons the "narrative," if you will, without finishing it. The first 2/3 of the book deal with Spade's upbringing, his grind through the comedy club scene, and his slow climb from SNL writer to SNL performer. Even though it's written with a light touch, that stuff is all pretty compelling. But it drops that thread after he's made it as an SNL cast member. It doesn't tell the story of what prompted him to leave SNL, or his movie career (except for Tommy Boy), or his experience on sitcoms. Instead, the last 1/3 of the book morphs into more of a George Carlin "Brain Droppings" type thing -- little observational essays on miscellaneous topics ranging from doing cocaine to his thoughts on dating tricks that women pull. I would have been really interested to hear why he made the jump from SNL when he did (given how hard his climb there was) and whether he's happy or not with his sitcom and movie work.

  • 1. Einleitung
    1. Einleitung Thereʼs a metaphor which I love: living like a drawing compass. As you know, one leg of the compass is static, rooted in a place. Meanwhile, the other leg draws a wide circle, constantly moving. Like that, in my fiction as well, one part of it is rooted in Istanbul, with strong Turk- ish roots, but the other part travels the world, connecting to different cultures. In that sense, I like to think of my fiction as both local and universal, both from here and everywhere.1 Die Worte der Autorin Elif Şafak verweisen auf einen Anspruch, der die aktuelle türkische Literaturszene maßgeblich prägt. Zeitgenössische Autoren2 schaffen Texte, die sich den thematisch wie sprachlich engen Grenzen einer national beziehungsweise idealistisch auf- geladenen Literatur verweigern. Literatur soll nicht länger im Dienste einer Nation, einer Idee stehen, soll nicht Grenzen ziehen, sondern diese in Frage stellen. Vor dem Hintergrund türkischer Literaturgeschichte ist diese Entwicklung beachtenswert, hatten Romane doch seit Gründung der Republik oft – wenn auch zweifellos nicht immer3 – einen ideologischen Auftrag, sollten den kemalistischen Diskurs unterstützen oder, wie in den 70er Jahren ge- schehen, politische Ideologien abbilden. Nach dem dritten Militärputsch 1980 aber, mit dem eine umfassende Entpolitisierung der Bevölkerung einherging, wandten sich Schrift- steller verstärkt individualistischen Themen zu.4 Gleichzeitig begann Literatur in den fol- genden Jahren auf eine Realität zu reagieren, die immer stärker von Prozessen der Globali- sierung geprägt war und ist. Die Literaturwissenschaftlerin Azade Seyhan erläutert: The impasses of Turkish modernity have urged them [die türkischen Literaten] to articulate questions that have joined them in an implicit dialogue with writers of faraway times and lands.
