Name, Last name : Gökhan Albayrak Signature : iii ABSTRACT DIALECTICAL OSCILLATIONS IN KEATS: A KRISTEVAN READING OF ENDYMION, HYPERION AND THE FALL OF HYPERION Albayrak, Gökhan PhD, Department of English Literature Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Margaret J-M Sönmez January 2019, 422 pages By deploying Kristevan theory, this thesis argues that Keats's poetry oscillates between the semiotic and the symbolic and it asserts that the semiotic threatens to overwhelm the symbolic in Endymion while the poet strives to repress the semiotic in Hyperion poems but it returns and causes the poet to leave these poems as fragments. The poet is immersed in the semiotic in Endymion, a romance, while attempts are made to repress this immersion in the epicscape of Hyperion and in the allegorical vision of The Fall of Hyperion. Nevertheless, the semiotic resurfaces, thereby challenging the resolution to restrain the semiotic. This thesis also studies the Keatsian confrontation with the abject. Boundaries threaten to collapse in Endymion, which provokes repulsion in the encounter with the abject. Hyperion strives to maintain boundaries against the revolting presence of the abject; likewise, The Fall of Hyperion seeks to preserve distinctions in the face of the blurring of boundaries; nonetheless, both Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion are haunted by the abject. This study further iv discusses how melancholy permeates these longer poems. The melancholic Endymion withdraws from the symbolic and retreats into the realm of the unnameable Thing where self and other are undifferentiated. The fallen Titans in Hyperion relapse into asymbolic melancholy while the Olympian Apollo, the new god of the black sun, merges with the unrepresentable Thing, obliterating the divide between subject and object. Similarly, the poet-narrator of The Fall of Hyperion mingles with the muse Moneta, eradicating the breach between inside and outside. Keywords: Keats, the semiotic, the symbolic, abjection, melancholy v ÖZ KEATS ŞİİRİNDE DİYALEKTİK SALINIMLAR: ENDYMION, HYPERION VE THE FALL OF HYPERION ADLI ŞİİRLERİN KRISTEVACI OKUMASI Albayrak, Gökhan Doktora, İngiliz Edebiyatı Bölümü Danışman: Doç. Dr. Margaret J-M Sönmez Ocak 2019, 422 sayfa Kristeva’nın kuramından yararlanan bu çalışma Keats şiirinin semiyotik ve sembolik arasında salınımlar yaşadığını savunmaktadır; semiyotiğin Endymion şiirinde semboliği istila etme tehdidi olduğunu, buna karşılık şairin Hyperion şiirlerinde semiyotiği bastırmaya uğraştığını, ama yine de semiyotiğin geri döndüğünü ve bu şiirlerin yarım kalmasına sebep olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Şairin bir romans olan Endymion adlı şiirinde semiyotik olanı benimsediği ve onun içine gömüldüğü iddia edilmektedir. Diğer taraftan ise, epik bir şiir olan Hyperion ve bir alegori olarak görülen The Fall of Hyperion adlı şiirlerinde, semiyotikle olan bu kucaklaşma bastırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Yine de, semiyotik ortaya çıkar ve böylece onu dizginleme kararlılığına meydan okur. Bu tez aynı zamanda şairin iğrençlikle karşılaşmasını da incelemektedir. Endymion şiirinde, sınırların muğlaklaşması tehdidi vardır; bu da şairde korku ve tiksinme duygularını uyandırır. Hyperion şiiri ise bu iğrenme duygusuna karşı, sınırları sağlamlaştırmaya çalışmaktadır; aynı şekilde The vi Fall of Hyperion şiirinde de, şair sınırların bulanıklaşmasına karşı onları pekiştirmeye çabalamaktadır. Fakat tiksinti her iki şiirin de peşini bırakmamaktadır. Ayrıca bu tezin bir diğer maksadı da melankolinin bu şiirlere nasıl sindiğini tahlil etmektir. Melankolik Endymion sembolik düzlemden uzaklaşır, ben ve öteki arasındaki bölünmenin olmadığı, adlandırılamaz olan Şeyin etkisine çekilir. Hyperion şiirinde ise çaptan düşmüş, yenik Titanlar asembolik melankolinin alanına geri düşerken, Apollo, ya da Kristeva’nın kavramıyla söyleyecek olursak yeni kara güneş tanrısı, ifade edilemez olan Şeyle kaynaşır ve böylece özne ve nesne arasındaki ayrımı aşındırır. Benzer şekilde, The Fall of Hyperion şiirindeki şair-anlatıcı esin perisi olan Moneta ile birleşip, içeri ve dışarı arasındaki gediği ortadan kaldırır. Anahtar kelimeler: Keats, semiyotik, sembolik, iğrençlik, melankoli vii DEDICATION to Boza and my parents Günay and Ali Albayrak viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Margaret J-M Sönmez, who has supported me throughout my studies with her enthusiasm, great effort, patience and kindness as well as her academic experience, which has been inspirational. Throughout this period, she has provided encouragement, motivation, sound advice, immense knowledge and good company. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the jury members Prof. Dr. Huriye Reis and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nurten Birlik for their wise advice, insightful comments and positive attitude. I also wish to thank Prof. Dr. Nazan Tutaş and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nil Korkut Kaykı for their valuable contributions and guidance. I wish to thank Bilge Bulut wholeheartedly for the thought-provoking discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together before deadlines, and for all the fond memories and fun we have had since 2002. To Haktan Ural, I offer sincere thanks for his unshakeable faith in me, for encouraging me to embark on this journey, for the emotional support, camaraderie and caring he has provided throughout this period. Without this stimulating and fun environment in which to love, learn and grow, it would not be possible to write this thesis. Finally, but by no means least, I wish to thank my parents Günay and Ali Albayrak, and my grandmother Nedime Albayrak, who passed away three months ago. To them I dedicate this thesis. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS PLAGIARISM ............................................................................................................ iii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ iv ÖZ ................................................................................................................................ vi DEDICATION .......................................................................................................... viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................ ix TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................. x CHAPTER 1.

In this paper, we will deal with one of the most fascinating problems of the Solar System: the origin of the double face of Iapetus, where one half of the satellite is significantly brighter than the other. The “transfer of mass” process (see Marchi et al. 2001) may be a viable explanation for the visible dichotomy. In this process a satellite undergoes mass transfer from other satellites belonging to the same system. We analyze the pair Hyperion–Iapetus and suggest a possible explanation for the formation of the dark region, which is also known as Cassini Regio. Key words. minor planets, asteroids – solar system: general 1. Introduction 2.

  • The Chaotic Rotation of Hyperion*
    ICARUS 58, 137-152 (1984) The Chaotic Rotation of Hyperion* JACK WISDOM AND STANTON J. PEALE Department of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 AND FRANGOIS MIGNARD Centre d'Etudes et de Recherehes G~odynamique et Astronomique, Avenue Copernic, 06130 Grasse, France Received August 22, 1983; revised November 4, 1983 A plot of spin rate versus orientation when Hyperion is at the pericenter of its orbit (surface of section) reveals a large chaotic zone surrounding the synchronous spin-orbit state of Hyperion, if the satellite is assumed to be rotating about a principal axis which is normal to its orbit plane. This means that Hyperion's rotation in this zone exhibits large, essentially random variations on a short time scale. The chaotic zone is so large that it surrounds the 1/2 and 2 states, and libration in the 3/2 state is not possible. Stability analysis shows that for libration in the synchronous and 1/2 states, the orientation of the spin axis normal to the orbit plane is unstable, whereas rotation in the 2 state is attitude stable. Rotation in the chaotic zone is also attitude unstable. A small deviation of the principal axis from the orbit normal leads to motion through all angles in both the chaotic zone and the attitude unstable libration regions. Measures of the exponential rate of separation of nearby trajectories in phase space (Lyapunov characteristic exponents) for these three-dimensional mo- tions indicate the the tumbling is chaotic and not just a regular motion through large angles. As tidal dissipation drives Hyperion's spin toward a nearly synchronous value, Hyperion necessarily enters the large chaotic zone.

  • Top Left-Hand Corner
    The four novels Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion constitute the Hyperion Cantos by the American science fiction writer Dan Simmons. This galactic-empire, epic, science fiction narrative contains a plethora of literary references. The dominant part comes from the nineteenth-century Romantic poet John Keats. The inclusion of passages from his poetry and letters is pursued in my analysis. Employing Lubomír Doležel’s categorizations of intertextuality— “transposition,” “expansion,” and “displacement”—I seek to show how Keats’s writings and his persona constitute a privileged intertext in Simmons’s tetralogy and I show its function. Simmons constructs subsidiary plots, some of which are driven by Keats’s most well-known poetry. In consequence, some of the subplots can be regarded as rewrites of Keats’s works. Although quotations of poetry have a tendency to direct the reader’s attention away from the main plot, slowing down the narrative, such passages in the narratives evoke Keats’s philosophy of empathy, beauty and love, which is fundamental for his humanism. For Keats, the poet is a humanist, giving solace to mankind through his poetry. I argue that the complex intertextual relationships with regards to Keats’s poetry and biography show the way Simmons expresses humanism as a belief in man’s dignity and worth, and uses it as the basis for his epic narrative. Keywords: Dan Simmons; The Hyperion Cantos; John Keats’s poetry and letters; intertextuality; empathy; beauty; love; humanism. Gräslund 2 The American author Dan Simmons is a prolific writer who has published in different genres.

  • Keats Essay Ode to Psyche October 2015 Final
    1 Keats, Myth, and the Science of Sympathy Gregory Tate Keywords: Keats, ‘Ode to Psyche’, science, medicine, sympathy, myth Abstract This essay considers the connections between myth and sympathy in Keats’s poetic theory and practice. It argues that the ‘Ode to Psyche’ exemplifies the way in which Keats uses mythological narrative, and the related trope of apostrophe, to promote a restrained form of sympathy, which preserves an objectifying distance between the poet and the feelings that his poetry examines. This model of sympathy is informed by Keats’s medical training: the influential surgeon Astley Cooper and The Hospital Pupil’s Guide (1816) both identify a sensitive but restrained sympathy for patients’ suffering as an essential part of the scientific and professional methods of nineteenth- century medicine. However, while The Hospital Pupil’s Guide claims that mythological superstition has been superseded in medicine by positivist science, Keats’s ode suggests that myth retains a central role in poetry, as the foundation of a poetic method that mediates between imaginative sympathy and objective impartiality. In an 1843 biography of Sir Astley Cooper, one of Cooper’s students, Benjamin Travers, comments of the eminent surgeon that Neither his temperament nor his education had endowed him with a sensitiveness which in any degree disqualified him for the performance of his professional duties on the most trying occasions. In other words, he possessed an insusceptibility, equal to his powers of physical endurance. I mention this to meet the imputation of want of sensitiveness, with which I have heard him 2 reproached. He was not deficient in feeling, although it flowed in a deeper current, out of the reach of ordinary circumstances.1 Travers insists that there was no ‘want of sensitiveness’ in Cooper’s treatment of patients; the professional surgeon was also a man of feeling.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP FILMMAKER BIOGRAPHIES BANKSY (Director) Hailing from Bristol, England, Banksyʼs idiosyncratic brand of street art developed after his efforts at producing more conventional New York-style graffiti apparently proved a failure. Turning to stencils, he developed a voice that was both provocative and unique, and set about decorating city centre locations with life size iconography and wry humor. Notable targets have included the separation barrier in Palestine, New Orleans levee wall and the penguin enclosure at London Zoo. Largely avoiding traditional art galleries Banksy has instead favored disused warehouses and abandoned shop fronts for art shows, displaying work in London, Los Angeles, New York and Bethlehem. He has produced his own range of forged currency, pseudo-ancient artifacts and guilt-framed classical ʻmasterpiecesʼ, which are then surreptitiously added to the collections of venerable institutions such as the Louvre and the British Museum. His street pieces, which have come to include sculpture and installations, are now often removed and sold at auction, but have also on occasion been granted preservation status by the very city councils once so vehement about their removal. “Itʼs easier to get forgiveness than permission” he commented.

  • Endymion: a Poetic Romance
    1817 ENDYMION: A POETIC ROMANCE John Keats Keats, John (1795-1821) - Widely regarded as the most talented of the Eng- lish romantic poets, Keats, whose work was poorly received during his lifetime, could not have foreseen his later recognition. Ironically, he wrote for his own epi- taph: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water.” Endymion: A Poetic Ro- mance (1817) - Known as a poem of loose style, yet pure beauty, it tells the magical story of Endymion and the moon. Its famous opening line is: A thing of beauty is a joy forever: ... “The stretched metre of an antique song” INSCRIBED TO THE MEMORY OF THOMAS CHATTERTON PREFACE KNOWING within myself the manner in which this Poem has been produced, it is not without a feeling of regret that I make it public. What manner I mean, will be quite clear to the reader, who must soon perceive great inexperience, immaturity, and every error denoting a feverish attempt, rather than a deed accomplished. The two first books, and indeed the two last, I feel sensible are not of such completion as to warrant their passing the press; nor should they if I thought a year’s castigation would do them any good;- it will not: the foundations are too sandy. It is just that this youngster should die away: a sad thought for me, if I had not some hope that while it is dwindling I may be plotting, and fitting myself for verses fit to live. This may be speaking too presumptuously, and may deserve a pun- ishment: but no feeling man will be forward to inflict it: he will leave me alone, with the conviction that there is not fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
