BA tilvalg-studieordning i Tyrkisk, 2007
The course offers an introduction to modern Turkish literature
from the Tanzimat (reform) period until today. Students will be
introduced to the main intellectual currents and the most important
authors. The development of modern Turkish literature has been
closely connected to the social and linguistic developments taking
place in the Ottoman Empire and later in the Turkish Republic,
partly because authors often have been public intellectuals, partly
because they have been deeply affected by and commented on the
social, political and cultural changes taking place in
society.
For this reason the course will focus on the connections between
literary currents and social change, using selected texts as
examples partly in original language and partly in
translation.
