"Listening Differently, Crossing Boundaries: Thanhhà L?i’s Listen, Slowly"
(Palgrave, Macmillan, 2024) Bay, Hatice
Thanhhà Lai’s Listen, Slowly (2015) is about Mai, a twelve-year-old Vietnamese-American girl who is born and raised in California. She undergoes a transformative change after she embarks on a journey to Vietnam with her grandmother. This chapter examines how Mai’s encounter with her own Vietnamese heritage disrupts her previous self-centered American sense of self and paves the way for a new ethical Vietnamese-American identity through the act of listening. Drawing on Emmanuel Levinas’s ethical philosophy and Lisbeth Lipari’s ideas on listening, this analysis shows how Mai’s experiences of pain, trauma, and disconcerting responsibility in Vietnam help her become an ethical listening self. By tracing the arduous interpersonal and intercultural communication processes Mai undergoes, this chapter explores the important role of listening plays in communication and how it enables meaningful relationships across cultures and borders.
“FBI, ICE, Police & Pollution: A Spy in the Struggle”
(Peter Lang, 2024) Bay, Hatice
A Spy in the Struggle (henceforth A Spy) (2020a) is about Yolanda Vance, a success-driven, Harvard Law graduate Black young woman, who ends up working for the FBI’s spying in on her own people. She is sent undercover to infiltrate a low-income Black and Brown Bay Area, eco-racial justice organization, Red, Black, and Green (RBG). RBG is a youth-led political organization that fights white supremacy in the forms of corporate entity, greenwashers, mainstream environmentalists, police violence and climate emergency. The FBI, through Yolanda, wants to keep angry Black folks under control. Using David N. Pellow’s concept of Critical Environmental Justice (CEJ), A Spy, thus, addresses recognition of ecological violence and racist assault against Latinx and African American living spaces, bodies, and how Latinx and African American communities seek to find ways to abolish the systems that enable the conditions in which such violence is sanctioned and perpetuated. This chapter reveals that it is high time to show the intersectionality of issues such as police violence, racism, sexism, health crises, state surveillance, poverty, COVID19, ICE, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and climate crisis along with expanding the discourse of environmental racism.
Re-placing Indigenous Land and Children Within the Anthropocene Carole Lindstrom’s We Are Water Protectors
(Routledge, 2024) Bay, Hatice
In the Anthropocene age, fundamental changes are required to how children in general, as members of the future generation, learn about, interact with, and perceive nature, land, and other species and understand how Indigenous people, in particular places, are entangled with anthropogenic change in different ways. This chapter discusses the relevance of Carole Lindstrom’s children’s picturebook, We Are Water Protectors (2020), in providing powerful entry points to teach and inform children about the complicated and messy interrelationships among children, land, and the whole natural system; environmental injustice issues; and the potential agency of (Indigenous) children in this ongoing age of climate change and environmental degradation.
Working Black Women and the Performance of Racial Uplift in the Netflix Series Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker
(Lexington Books, 2023) Bay, Hatice
This article examines the four-part Netflix series Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker and the ways in which it brings Black working women out of obscurity and positions them as pivotal economic agents in U.S. history. By analyzing how the series intertwines Madam Walker’s life with broader themes and significant events in American history, including segregation, colorism, hairism, male supremacy, and poverty, this article aims to demonstrate how Madam Walker dispels myths surrounding working women and allows for a redefinition of concepts like work and race, work and class, and work and gender from a positive perspective. Ultimately, the argument presented is that the series diversifies, democratizes, and presents a pluralistic view of the experiences of working women in early twentieth century USA by giving prominence and voice to Black female workers and their remarkable achievements.
African Ecofeminist Environmentalism in Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023) Bay, Hatice
Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were (2021), hereafter referred to as HBWW, is an ecologically conscious narrative which notably contributes to ecocriticism, ecofeminism, and ecoactivism. Some scholars argue that ecocriticism has primarily focused on Western writers, thinkers, and activists and has overlooked African natural environments, communities, (female) lives, and black female activists. Through a Black ecofeminist lens, HBWW is shown to diversify ecocriticism and ecofeminist studies as it highlights the active concern and engagement of Africans, particularly African women, with nature throughout history. Mbue raises awareness about various forms of environmental destruction and struggles, while showcasing the promise, uniqueness, and complexity of an Africa-centered ecocriticism. Moreover, African ecofeminist environmental thinking necessitates bringing African communitarian philosophy and ubuntu into the discourse (Chemhuru, 3). In contrast to patriarchal, hierarchical, individualistic and elitist structures in western society, Mbue’s African ecofeminism focuses on the communal and interconnected aspects of the human and non-human realms. Through Munamato Chemhuru’s theorization of African Communitarian Philosophy and ubuntu, African women and men perceive themselves as human manifestations of natural beings guided by nature. They are not the passive victims or bystanders of environmental degradation; instead, nature becomes a catalyst for their regeneration, activism, and empowerment. Furthermore, Mbue’s novel establishes a connection between African ecofeminist perspective and the quest for socio-ecological equity. Although the ecological struggle is a communal endeavor, it is Thula as its leader, fighting on behalf of others. Finally, Mbue’s African ecofeminist environmentalism, critically examines and reevaluates the rhetoric of environmental justice, mobilization, and ecoactivism.
The Ocean as a Queer Black Utopian Space: Rivers Solomon’s The Deep
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023) Bay, Hatice
The Deep (2019), written by Rivers Solomon (with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes), a non-binary black writer, explores the concept of the ocean as a black utopian space. This fantasy tale delves into the world of the wajinru, an underwater mermaid society known as the chorus of the deep. The wajinru are descendants of pregnant women thrown overboard during the transatlantic journey to the Americas and the Caribbean. Within the underwater narrative, the story delves into themes of generational trauma, environmental degradation, cultural memory, communal obligation, and the complexities of bodies, genders, memories, emotions, and relationships, with a focus on the protagonist Yetu. By employing the theoretical framework of black utopia studies, this analysis highlights that Solomon’s construction of the oceanic black utopian society resists being categorized within any hegemonic framework. Solomon not only presents alternative social structures but also explores alternative dimensions of existence. The novel brings forth a perspectival sea change, emphasizing the interconnectedness of existence within a broader ecological context. Moreover, Solomon examines the idea of a gender-fluid and expanding black utopian society. The Deep incorporates body and genital diversity, and the wajinru exhibit a self-critical and improvisational nature. In this black utopian society, collective formation and kinship are continuously evolving and under construction. In conclusion, the ocean in The Deep transcends being a site solely associated with painful memories, rupture, and discontinuity. Instead, it becomes a moldable, resilient space that embraces the fragmented experiences of those whose lives were never meant to be considered livable. The novel gives rise to a black utopian society that rejects solid ground and instead embraces more ecological, fragile, and queer visions of life, history, existence, and freedom.

Arkeoloji Işığında Altay Şamanizmi ve Müzik
(Nobel, 2023) Okutan Davletov, Nükhet; Davletov, Timur
Türk, Moğol, Tunguz-Mançu, Kore ve Japon uluslarının mensup olduğu Altay halklarının atalarının yaşadığı Sibirya coğrafyasının geleneksel inanç sistemi ve kadim uygarlığı olan Altay Şamanizmi’nde müzik sanatının geçmişinin arkeoloji ışığında on binlerce yıl öncesine dayandırılabileceğini ileri sürmek mümkün görünmektedir. Modern Şamanizmde de ayinler esnasında olduğu gibi tedavi uygulamaları sırasında da müzik ve çalgı kullanımı önemli bir yere sahiptir.
THE PROBABLE REASONS FOR MISTAKES IN SECOND VERSIONS IN SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
(İksad Publishing House (İksad Yayınevi), 2022) Vural, Haldun
The complexity of simultaneous interpretation (SI) occurs from understanding and producing in two languages concurrently. Simultaneous interpretation (SI) and interpreting studies in general are closely related to memory and especially working memory (WM). WM research can offer essential clues for SI and different cognitive arguments about SI since WM affects SI quality and working memory capacity and SI are related to each other significantly. WM is important to explain the cognitive aspects of SI.
Corpus Pragmatics
(Pegem Akademi, 2020) Mısır, Hülya
This chapter explains the conceptual and methodological synergy of corpus and pragmatics. Addressing the dynamism of context, I have shown the principles of form-to-function and function-to-form approach to corpus pragmatics. Employing a form-to-function approach to a particular pragmatic phenomenon, pragmatic markers, this chapter operationalizes several corpus linguistics methods that facilitate the understanding of pragmatic meanings and multifunctionality. I suggest that the interplay among the CP concepts, CL methodologies, and dynamic theory of context, which is under development in the area of Applied Linguistics, should be a part of classroom discourse. In alignment with the second language acquisition theories, corpora provide opportunities to engage in authentic language that creates learning potentials and facilitates noticing via discovery-based approaches to language learning (see Flowerdew, 2015). The case study of stance markers is an illustrative example of how teachers and learners can develop a suited corpus-based strategy to cultivate pragmatic phenomena using spoken learner corpora. The TLC is only one example of spoken corpora whose data are collected from a homogenous context of spoken examination. Other written, spoken, or multimodal corpora can be utilized for learners to be involved closely in real data using web-based corpora or corpus software. Learner groups can also build their own corpora (Do-It-Yourself corpora) based on their needs compiling language performances (role plays, media data, academic writing etc.) and investigate such aspects of pragmatics as speech acts, politeness, conversational expressions, humor, and rhetoric, or more particular topics such as authorship and stance in spoken and written registers. Alternative to the existing corpora, learners can be encouraged to create an auto-corpus to track their language development in such aspects. Consequently, taking into account classroom needs, teachers are recommended to critically consider the potentials and limitations of L1/L2 corpora use for L2 pragmatics teaching before starting with any corpora or corpus tool.
