    Nâmık Kemal and his utopian dream about freedom
    (English Language and Literature Association of Korea, 2021) Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Gözen, Hacer
    Born in 1840, Nâmık Kemal left his mark on Turkish and world literature. He was one of the pioneers of the Ottoman Reform era. Due to Nâmık Kemal's pioneering endeavors and his writings that purported to enlighten the society and expostulate on the political descension occurring during his time under the rule of Abdulaziz, the 32nd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Kemal was twice sent into exile. During these exiles, he deepened his knowledge and academic background further, explored new worlds, and wrote Dream. This study deduces how, in contrast to its apparent meaning, Nâmık Kemal's choice of title for his “utopia” was meant to suggest a sarcastic condition, indeed one that he might have intentionally created while he was ostracized in Famagusta, Cyprus. Nâmık Kemal's utopia, Dream, consists of a “dream” that he claims to have had while in a mansion overlooking Bosphorus in Istanbul. Dream, in an ironic way, is actually Nâmık Kemal's collection of thoughts designed to agitate the Ottoman nation. This study subsumes Dream as a euchronia or a homotopical utopia that portrays a better society created in the same place in Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. The study also reveals how Nâmık Kemal posited the social and local environments in Dream with the intent to influence future political, cultural, and social connotations and reasoning in his contemporary world. Through a comparative study of history and literature, this essay thus propounds how Nâmık Kemal actually intended to “shake” the people to awaken them from their long-lasting irresponsible sleep.

    Multimodality in the classroom presentation genre: Findings from a study of Turkish psychology undergraduate talks
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-07) Gray, Robert
    Despite its obvious importance to learning and assessment across the academy, the undergraduate classroom presentation has received less research attention than other academic genres, and little is known about how multiple modes of communication are deployed within it. To explore how the use of different modes varied between sections, and how these actions affected the speech of presenters, this research into student presentations given at a university in Turkey combined a move-step analysis of speech with a mixed-methods study of multimodality. The study's main results were as follows: first, that presentation sections were distinctively configured by arrays of multimodal action; second, that the effectiveness of speech in performing specific moves in the genre was moderated in several specific ways by actions in other modes; and third, that some moves were performed in part by non-verbal actions. These findings are briefly discussed with reference to their theoretical and pedagogical implications.
