Dear Members of IDEA,

​

It is a great pleasure for us to announce that Assist. Prof. Dr. Ayşegül Demir, our member from Munzur University, received "ESSE Bursary for Research Trips 2023" with her project entitled "The Role of English Poet Laureates in Shaping Public Perception towards Scotland." 

​

We congratulate her with all our good wishes. We hope more of our members will qualify for ESSE Awards and Bursaries.

Dear Members of IDEA,

Please feel free to send an abstract or share the following call for abstracts with other scholars who may be interested:

Where does Joseph Conrad belong in the ongoing debates about world literature? Conrad may indeed be assured a canonical place in world literature given the influence, critical acclaim, global readership, and transcultural recognition of his works. Yet the traditional notion of a fixed and exclusive literary canon has been disrupted, if not entirely undone, by factors such as globalization, digitalization, and the proliferation of literary translations. What place does Conrad occupy within newer, non-Western conceptions of world literature? What role has Conrad (and Conrad studies) played in attempts to form a more inclusive and cosmopolitan understanding of world literature?

Guest editors Simla Dogangun and Chris GoGwilt invite submissions to a special issue of The Conradian devoted to the topic of Conrad and World Literature. Essays that recalibrate our understanding of Conrad in relation to new comparative critical frames of reference are especially welcome. The editors are interested in essays that either follow or critique David Damrosch's call for reimagining world literature "in a postcanonical, hypercanonical age."

Send expressions of interest (with short abstracts and biographical information) by September 1, 2023 to: sdogangun@marmara.edu.tr and gogwilt@fordham.edu

Sayın IDEA Üyeleri,

​

20. Yüzyıl Amerikan Romanı Üzerine İncelemeler başlıklı kitap projesinin detayları aşağıda ilginize sunulmuştur:

​

Siyasi ve ekonomik baskınlığı nedeniyle kimilerince “Amerikan Yüzyılı” diye anılan 20. yüzyıl, Amerikan siyaset, dış ilişkiler ve kültür tarihinin en çalkantılı olduğu, aynı zamanda sanat ve edebiyatın en zengin çeşitliliğiyle gözlemlendiği bir dönemdir. 20. yüzyıl Amerikan romanı tarihsel, coğrafi, dilsel ve etnik açılardan farklı ve çelişkili yaşantıları yansıtır. Bireycilik, gelenek/karşı-gelenek, ilerleme, göç/sürgün, medeniyet, doğa, yaban, masumiyet, demokrasi/eşitlik ve özgürlük gibi kavramların sınandığı bir laboratuvardır. D. H. Lawrence, 19. yüzyıl Amerikan edebiyatı üzerine şöyle der: “Amerika’nın gerçek çağı henüz başlamadı… Şimdiye dek gördüğümüz yalancı bir şafaktır… İlerici Amerikan bilincinde var olan tek arzu, eski olandan kurtulmak olagelmiştir. Efendilerden kurtulmak, halkın istencini yüceltmek.” Lawrence için asıl soru, efendilerden ve sığ bir “halkın istenci” idealizminden kurtulduğunda Amerikan bilincinin kendi bütünlüğünü nasıl bulacağıdır. Lawrence’ın sorusunu bir sonraki yüzyılın romanına uyarlamak ve tartışmaya açmak istiyoruz. 20. yüzyılın değişken ve çok katmanlı ikliminde yeşermiş olan Amerikan romanı, bahsi geçen kavramlara ek olarak katılımcılarımızın belirleyeceği tartışmalar çerçevesinde eski olandan kurtulmanın ötesinde nasıl bir edebiyat iklimi yaratmıştır?

Amerikan romanının başlıca örnekleri üzerine Türkiye’deki uzmanlarca Türkçe üretilmiş bir kaynağın eksikliğini hissetmekteyiz. Hem Amerikan çalışmaları alanındaki öğrenciler ve eğitmenler, hem de ilgili okur için bir başvuru kaynağı olmasını umduğumuz bu kitapta yayımlanmak üzere özgün araştırma makaleleri aramaktayız.

Eserleri incelenebilecek yazarlar şu şekilde listelenebilir (Önerilere göre değişebilir):

Edith Wharton

Willa Cather

Katherine Ann Porter

As IDEA, we intend to form a Gender Studies Network among our members. This structure will function as a communication network composed of English Language and Literature academics who work on or are interested in thinking about gender and gender-related issues. Gender Studies Network will also develop mechanisms to enable IDEA members to include gender dimensions in their department curricula, course syllabi and/or research projects. It will also facilitate sharing positive experiences and good practices in this area.

We invite all interested IDEA members to participate in the forming of this network and in the process of designing its subsequent activities.

IDEA olarak üyelerimiz arasında bir Toplumsal Cinsiyet Çalışmaları Ağı kurmak istiyoruz. Bu yapı, toplumsal cinsiyet ve onunla ilişkili konular üzerine çalışan ya da bu konulara ilgi duyan İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı akademisyenlerinin oluşturduğu bir iletişim ağı işlevi görecektir. Toplumsal Cinsiyet Çalışmaları Ağı ayrıca IDEA üyesi araştırmacıların mensup oldukları bölüm müfredatlarına, ders programlarına ve/veya araştırma projelerine toplumsal cinsiyet boyutunu dâhil etmeleri için çalışmalar yapacak, bu konudaki olumlu deneyimlerin ve iyi uygulamaların paylaşılmasını sağlayacaktır.

​

Bu ağın kuruluşunda yer almak ve sonraki faaliyetlerinin tasarlanması sürecine katılmak isteyen tüm IDEA üyelerini bizimle irtibata geçmeye davet ediyoruz.

The editors (Dr. Cenk Tan & Dr. Elçin Kandilci) cordially invite you to submit an abstract proposal (around 300-400 words) for a new volume for editorial consideration by 30 August 2022. The book is planned to include chapters providing critique of selected works of science fantasy in literature, film, media and/or popular culture. The chapters will present a theoretical/critical discussion of the specific works of fiction whose theoretical framework includes but is not limited to literary theory, psychology, sociology, philosophy, etc. Each chapter is anticipated to be 4000-6000 words including footnotes and references. The authors are expected to present a critical discussion of their selected works of science fantasy. Authors can feel free to make their own suggestions of science fantasy works within an intertextual and interdisciplinary context. The selected works of science fantasy may include new as well as older works of fiction but we encourage authors to analyse newer, less-known works that are likely to be considered niche.    

Editors' Introduction

According to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, (SFE) Science Fantasy is considered a bastard genre blending elements of science fiction and fantasy. The term was first mentioned by Joseph M. Crawford, James J. Donahue, and Donald M. Grant, in their “333”: A Bibliography of the Science-Fantasy Novel (1953 chap), attempted without much luck to establish it as an umbrella term covering SF and fantasy. The term was also the title of a well-known UK magazine. (1950-1966) Emerging as a hybrid genre, science fantasy mostly remained in the shadows of science fiction, as well as fantastic fiction. As a unique genre within speculative fiction, science fantasy has proven to be a significant intersection of the previously described fictions. This hybrid genre which combines aspects of science fiction and fantasy fiction is a difficult-to-define transitional stage. However, rather than defining, our purpose is to explore this genre in an unprecedented manner.

It is impossible to deny the significance of science fiction and fantasy in speculative fiction. Hence, coming forward as a unique sub-genre, science fantasy has not yet received the scholarly attention it deserves. Scholars have tended to focus on science fiction works and/or works of fantasy fiction, leaving the hybrid sub-genre of science fantasy largely unexplored. The limited number of scholarly works dealing with science fantasy as a genre in itself is the major motivation behind this edited volume. According to Brian Attebery, some of the most commonly recognized science fantasy authors are Marion Zimmer Bradley, Edgar Rice Burroughs, L Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt, Samuel R Delany, Anne McCaffrey, Andre Norton, Jack Vance, John Varley, Roger Zelazny and Gene Wolfe, Joan D Vinge, C L Moore and Henry Kuttner. Attebery also makes special mention of The Deep (1975) by John Crowley but the list is not confined to these particular names. Science fantasy experienced a major boost during the last decades, as of the 21st century, a tremendous variety of creativity and diversity has been displayed in the sub-genre of science fantasy in literature, cinema, television, and popular culture. Our main objective is to explore and capture this creative and diverse capacity by combining texts with critical premises. As we welcome intertextual and interdisciplinary approaches, we share the aspiration that this edited volume will become one of the most celebrated scholarly works in the genre of speculative fiction and science fantasy altogether.

Deadline for abstract submission:           30 August 2022
Deadline for chapter submission:            30 November 2022
