Öğe An Analysis of Maxim Gorky's Short Story Her Lover(Karabuk Univ, 2013) Gunes, AliThis paper debates three views in Maxim Gorky's short story Her Lover. The first one is human loneliness, lack of communication, fragmented and lost identity in modern industrialized Russian society, which was actually a general view in the early decades of the twentieth century. Secondly, Gorky endows his fictional character Teresa with the Romantic energy which enables her to survive her misery and loneliness by inventing an imaginary lover. Finally, the paper examines the views of prejudice and self-sufficiency which put serious hurdles before real communication and thus cause the spiritual and moral decay in social life and relationships.Öğe Are Couples Really Happy after Divorce? An Analysis of the Negative Post-Divorce Effects in Hanif Kureishi's Short Story Midnight All Day(Karabuk Univ, 2016) Gunes, AliThis paper examines the negative post-divorce effects on the separated couples in Hanif Kureishi's short story Midnight All Day. In so doing, it focuses upon two negative aspects related to the post-divorce phases. First, it looks closely at how Kureishi's fictional male character Ian feels frustrated, unhappy and fragmented in the wake of his divorce from his wife Jane, even though he finds at once a new lover Marina. Secondly, the paper also discusses another disturbing negative aspect of Ian's life after the break-up with Jane - the negative aspect linked to his parental responsibility towards his daughter. The paper debates that Ian's the situation is actually almost all the separated couples and their children in the contemporary world. He has a daughter, who stays with her grandmother in London. Whenever he sees a small girl in the street and whenever he thinks of her, he recalls at once his daughter and seems to suffer profoundly from the view that he is unable to fulfil his proper parental responsibility for her and be a good father, a good model for her emotional and social development as in a stable family.Öğe Are We Destroying the Space That Nurtures and Embraces Us? Eco-critical Reading of Environmental Pollution in Kelly Roper's Selected Poems(Karabuk Univ, 2017) Gunes, AliThis paper examines in the selected poems of Kelly Roper from different points of view how the pollution problem seriously risks human life. In so doing, it is divided into two parts. First, the paper accounts for what eco-criticism is, how it developed and then how it deals with the relationship between literature and environment in general, between literature and environmental pollution in particular. Secondly, it tries to show the downside impact of industrialization on the environment and then identify the pollution problem and the types of pollution from different angles in Roper's selected poems - A Choking Sky, The Stream Where I Played, Glimpse of a Polluted Future, and Perspective on Pollution. In these poems, she, as the paper argues, compares and contracts the condition of the environmental space in the past with that in the present, and she strives not only to raise awareness of how human being has devastated his beautiful environment by polluting it day by day but also to teach us what we should do in the future to protect the environment from the pernicious pollution and create a clean, liveable space for living.Öğe The Deconstruction of Metanarrative of Traditional Detective Fiction in Martin Amis's Night Train: A Postmodern Reading(Karabuk Univ, 2018) Gunes, AliThis paper examines this view of unreliable or little narrative or incredulity toward metanarrative in Martin Amis's novel Night Train as an anti-detective novel. In so doing, the paper falls into two parts. The first part focuses upon the convention of traditional reliable or metanarrative in a typical traditional detective story, in which Mike Hoolihan as a detective investigates Jennifer Faulkner's suicide by collecting all the possible evidences and then examining them in a chronological linear way to solve her enigmatic death: who has killed her? Why was she murdered? If it is suicide, why has she ended her life? However, the paper also discusses that the way Mike passionately attempts to solve Jennifer's mysterious death is not possible due not only to lack of evidences but also to the fact that there occurs various interpretations about her death, including Mike's her one, which, after a while, turns into a psychological evaluation of the case with her own emotional involvement. Hence Jennifer's death remains a mystery from the beginning to the end in the novel. This situation obviously defies the expectation of her father Tom as in the traditional sense because why Tom hires Mike as an exceptional interrogator with an outstanding paperwork in the past is to clarify the case and then appease his anxiety, as well as the mystery of his daughter's death. Through his representation of Mike in such a condition, Amis apparently illuminates that it is almost impossible to create a detective story with a final legitimate total meaning and resolution as in a typical traditional detective novel in an age based on fragmentation, uncertainty, doubt, interruption, lack of authority, and self-expression.Öğe The Deconstruction of the Cartesian Dichotomy of Black and Whitein William Blake's The Little Black Boy(Karabuk Univ, 2015) Gunes, AliThis paper discusses English Romantic Poet William Blake's anti-racial views in his poem The Little Black Boy. In so doing, it focuses upon how Blake attempts to deconstruct the Cartesian dichotomy of Western world view, a dichotomy which has usually been based on the theory that the universe has been ruled from its origins by two conflicting powers, one good and one evil, both existing as equally ultimate first causes. In this binary and hierarchal relationship, there are two essential terms in which one term is absolutely regarded as primary or fundamental in its essence, whereas the other term is considered secondary or something that lacks originality and presence. Once this equation is applied to the relationship between black and white people, it will easily be seen in the Western world that white people are always primary or fundamental to black-skinned people, and thus the perception behind this binary and hierarchal relationship seems the root of all the racial problems between black and white. This paper argues that Blake strives to deconstruct radically in The Little Black Boy the basis of this binary and hierarchal relationship which has been carried out for centuries in the Western world to segregate and then control the lives of black people. Finally, the paper maintains that Blake also shows a strong aspiration for creating an egalitarian society free of discrimination and injustices at a time when anti-slavery campaigns hit the top on both sides of Atlantic.Öğe Interview on James Joyce's Araby(Karabuk Univ, 2016) Gunes, Ali; Mahoney, Leo[No abstract available]Öğe It was that chalice he broke.: James Joyce's Dissatisfaction with Religion in His Short Story, The Sisters(Karabuk Univ, 2013) Gunes, AliThis paper examines James Joyce's dissatisfaction and frustration with the established religion and the Catholic Church in this earliest short story The Sisters. In so doing, the paper focuses upon two strategies or two conditions used by Joyce in the story to represent his relentlessness with the church and the priesthood. One of them is his use of pederasty between the priest and young children, by which Joyce disgraces the image of the priesthood and the church. The second one is the broken image of the chalice as an important symbol. By means of these two strategies, Joyce not only deconstructs the trustworthy image of the church and the priesthood but also becomes able to create a free space outside the influence of the border of the church for his artistic vocation.Öğe Radiological Findings of the Primary Female Urethral Malignant Melanoma: A Rare Case Report(Aves, 2019) Oner, Serkan; Erdem, Gulnur; Ozdemir, Zeynep Maras; Gunes, Ali; Unlu, SerkanPrimary malignant melanomas of the female urethra are rare tumors with poor prognosis. Biopsy of the detected urethral mass was performed in a 71-year-old woman who presented with hematuria and voiding dysfunction. No other localized lesions were detected. The patient was diagnosed with primary malignant melanoma of the urethra according to the histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor cells were immunoreactive for vimentin, HMB-45, S-100, and Melan-A. The present study aimed to present radiological findings of very rare primary urethral malign melanoma with histopathologic correlation and to review the relevant literature.Öğe Wilfred Own Re-Visited: A Psychoanalytic Reading of War, Memory, and Crisis of Identity in Wilfred Owen's Poem Mental Cases(Karabuk Univ, 2017) Gunes, AliThis paper focuses upon the psychoanalytic reading of Wilfred Owen's poem Mental Cases. In so doing, first, the paper examines how the disturbing experiences and feelings of a tragic event such as a war, torture, rape or murder, which the surviving victims, civilians and veteran soldiers store in the realm of their unconscious in the Freudian sense, start annoying their feelings after a while. That is, these memories of the past event continuously come later on in life under the troubling influence of recurring flashbacks of the traumatic events, nightmares, irritability, anxiety, and social withdrawal. Eventually these undesirable traumatic past experiences and memories repressed in the unconscious obviously causes individuals to have a kind of psychological disorder which powerfully affects their daily behaviour, life and identity. Secondly, the paper explores this relationship between conscious and unconscious aspect of life, along with the perception of identity, in Owen's poem Mental Cases, in which the shell-shocked, war-torn veteran soldiers, who experienced and witnessed the shock of World War I and the death of their fellow soldiers, constantly remember the soldiers and innocent civilians who were brutally killed or whom they brutally killed in World War I. Now, these veteran soldiers call back those unhappy times, along with the death of soldiers and civilians, and then suffer in their psyche with a sense of guilt and disappointment: that is, recalling their shocking traumatic war experiences and their killing of many innocent people apparently cripple their vision of life and shatter their identities in the present. Through his representation of these veteran soldiers in such a way, Owen, as in his other poems, artistically and forcefully shows his own reaction, anger and dissatisfaction about the war and its distressing outcome in Mental Cases. Finally, the paper also examines how Owen's critical view of war and its traumatic post-war effect still find meaning today because we unfortunately witness every day the loss of millions of lives in the contemporary world. As the post-effect, the paper will give from the Bosnian civil war during the period of 1992-1995.
