The ‘American Dream’ and its relationship to American literature has long been a subject of extensive research. This article strives to portray the ‘American Dream’ in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. The ‘American Dream’ represents the idea that people can achieve anything if they follow their dreams. Fitzgerald paints a picture of the people of the Jazz Age who are driven by their passion for wealth and possessions. The ideals and hopes behind the ‘American Dream’ are illustrated in the novel through hopelessness, as the characters lose themselves in an illusion when they see it as an ideal. F. Scott Fitzgerald explores the influence of the ‘American Dream’ on his characters in each of his stories. In this vein, the article attempts to show how the ‘American Dream’ is seen in the context of American history and culture. This novel provides an excellent background for later research and a foundation for describing stories that come from Jazz Age culture

lays by Caryl Churchill and Sarah Kane epitomize an unflinchingly outspoken criticism of pre-established social parameters not solely via unorthodox dramaturgy but also through radical experimentation and controversial content. This study purports to align Caryl Churchill’s Far Away and Sarah Kane’s Blasted with Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s concept of the camp by resorting to a comparative analysis of the plays with scrutiny of their peculiar tenets. The study also refers to Agamben’s state of exception to explicate how fragile peacetime conditions can become in camps where the law is suspended while human brutality and sheer violence emerge. Blasted and Far Away are unique candidates to become timeless theatrical pieces as even more than two decades after their premiere, their strong relevance with our current world events persists, bestowing upon them a unique role of mimetic representation of the twentyfirst-century violence and oppressive political power.

The world of differences provides various outlooks and perspectives, such as ideological dissimilarities in human beings’ lives, and, therefore, people may experience distinctive challenges in contact with others. With a concrete realization of the phenomenon and how to respond to any external and internal force, any unique individual may start to think of the bases and formulation of such incidents. Everyone’s outlook and the method of analysis would be distinctive based on their experiences, gender, belief, religion, age, and other possible factors, and consequently, the structure of their standpoint would be divergent. The current study aims to reveal how people may respond to the happenings around them by relying on their experiences, beliefs, needs, and outlooks throughout their lives within a philosophical context. In this respect, three notions of “Fate and Belief,” “Need,” and “Responsibility” will be discussed in the light of Emanuel Levinas’ philosophical perspective throughout this research. Thus, this study intends to illustrate how people might face miseries and difficulties in their lives and daily encounters with ethical notion deficiencies. Gaining analytical power on the matters through various practices, one would be equipped with a bearable, easier, and better life.

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde 1978 yılında Nortwestern Üniversitesinde bir paket patlar ve bir güvenlik görevlisi yaralanır. Bu tarihten sonra, 17 yıl boyunca buna benzer 16 bombalama olayı gerçekleşir, 3 kişi hayatını kaybeder ve birçok kişi yaralanır. Polis çok uzun süre faili yakalayamaz ve bombalamalar Üniversiteler ve Havayollarında gerçekleştiğinden, faile UNABOMBER (UNiversity and Airline BOMBER) adı verilir. Yıllar sonra faile, yayınlamış olduğu ve “manifesto” adını verdiği bir metinde kullandığı dil temelinde ulaşılır. Metin içinde bulunan kişiye özgü kullanımlar bir “linguistik parmak izi” oluşturur ve bu temelde gerçekleştirilen soruşturma sonucunda 18 yıllık gizem sonuçlandırılır. Fail Ted Kaczynski adında 1946 yılında doğmuş, Harvard ve Michigan Üniversitesinde eğitimini tamamlamış, Berkley Üniversitesinde öğretim üyesi olarak çalışmaya başlamış bir kişidir. IQ’su 167’dir. 1971’de tüm bilimsel çalışmalarını terk etmiş, Kanada sınırına yakın bir kulübede doğa ile iç içe yaşamaya başlamıştır. Telefon, elektrik ve benzeri hiçbir teknik imkan kullanmadığı ve medeniyetten ayrılma arzusunda olduğu bilinmektedir. Ona göre Endüstri Devrimi ve sonuçları insanlık için bir felakettir. Bu devrim bireysel özgürlüğü baskılayan ve doğayı yok eden sosyal, ekonomik ve politik bir düzene bağlı bir teknolojik sistemin büyümesine öncülük etmektedir. Kaczynski “Sistem insan ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için mevcut değildir ve olamaz. Bunun yerine, sistemin ihtiyaçlarına uyacak şekilde değiştirilmesi gereken insan davranışıdır” demektedir. Söz konusu kişinin kendine has yazı üslubunun incelenmesi, “adli linguistik” (adli dilbilim) yolu ile yakalanması alanın ilk örneğidir. Dilbilimcilerin gerek hukuk gerekse ceza davalarında uzman tanık olarak değerlendirilmeleri giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Genellikle dilbilimde uzmanlık, adalet sistemine açıkça yardımcı olur. Dilbilimciler bir konuşmacının muhtemel kökeni, bir metnin anlaşılabilirliği, yazar ve konuşmacı kimliği, söylem analizi, yasal metinlerin anlamı dahil olmak üzere, dilsel tanıklık yapabilme kapasitesine sahiptir. Ancak gene de gerek ülkemizde gerekse uluslararası arenada avukatların, yargıçların ve hukuk sisteminin büyük çoğunluğu dilbilim konusu ve adalet sisteminde kullanılırlığı hakkında çok az bilgiye sahiptir. Bu nedenle konu ile ilgili farkındalık çalışmalarının yoğunlaştırılması gerekmektedir.

Postcolonialism incorporates all cultures affected by colonialism from the beginning of colonization to the present day. Aiming to express the ways the colonizer shapes society, postcolonial writers frequently reverse the colonial discourse and maintain that colonized countries have a national identity. In this respect, prominent Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe indicates the effects of colonization on both cultural and individual levels in his works. Besides, he highlights the postcolonial subject in a manner that not only the colonizers but also the colonized find themselves in a situation of ambivalence. The purpose of this study is to present the ways in which the characters in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958) are first shaped by the colonizer and later reshaped by the colonized counterpart. The process the characters undergo to achieve integration in society and whether they are liberated is discussed with references to the novel.
