[Bilimsel Haber] New Book: Broken Masculinities

[Cimen Gunay Erkol]

Dear Friends,

I’m pleased to announce the publication of my book Broken Masculinities:
Solitude, Alienation, and Frustration in Turkish Literature after 1970

http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Broken_Masculinities.htm

Broken Masculinities portrays the post-dictatorial novel of the 1970s in
all its complexity, and introduces the reader to a 1968-era Turkey, a
period which challenges Turkey’s now reinforced Islamic image by portraying
the quest for sexual liberation and critical student uprisings. Günay-Erkol
argues that the literature written after the 1970 coup in Turkey
constitutes a coherent sub-genre and needs to be considered together. These
novels share a common ground which is rich in images of men and women
craving for power: general isolation, sexual-emotional frustration, and a
traumatic sense of solitude and alienation.

This book is an original and significant contribution to two major fields
of study: (1) gender and sexuality with respect to formation of
subjectivity through literature, and (2) modern literature and history
through the study of Turkish literature. The chief concern in this book is
not only literature’s response to a particular period in Turkey, but also
the role of literature in bearing witness to trauma and drastic political
acts of violence—and coming to terms with them.

Broken Masculinities is currently available for pre-order from Central
European University Press at Amazon.com.

best wishes,
