    METAMORPHOSIS FROM BEHIND THE BARS: SELAHATTİN DEMİRTAŞ’S LEYLAN
    (Penn State University Press, 2024) Parla, J.
    This article examines the Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş’s prison novel Leylan (2OI9) in relation to the Turkish tradition of Künstlerroman, which dates back to the late nineteenth century.Through a reading of the figure of the writer manqué,it argues that Demirtaş occupies an unprecedented place in having staged the writer manqué as a subaltern autodidact rather than as a troubled intellectual,in uniting the political and the transcendental, and in affirming the potential hidden in incomplete texts and lives. © 2024 Penn State University Press.

    Turkish literature
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018) Parla, J.; Uslu, M.F.; Ertem, O.
    My basic thesis about the cultural and epistemological significance of the theme of the fathers and sons has not changed over the years. The quest for a father as absolute authority continued to inform Turkish thought and literature, with only a few exceptional interludes as with the novels of the 1970s. It is, I feel, a mind-numbingly uninteresting phenomenon. Why? Because it has been the same for centuries-the quest for a father, the readiness to escape from freedom, the insecurity when faced with the possibility of a fatherless vacuum, and the need to fill it at all costs. In my subsequent work, I rethought and revisited the Tanzimat (Reorganization) period of 1839-1876, and I came to realize that certain themes that persist in the literary and cultural spheres-modernization, Westernization, issues concerning language reform-were taken up and debated much more judiciously and liberally back then, particularly when compared to the sectarian, prejudiced, and hostile debates of later periods. In this respect, I draw the line with the Servet-i Fünun (Wealth of Knowledge) period of 1891-1901, during which cultural and literary quarrels became harsher and were carried into the partisan disputes of the Republican era. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2019.
