    Edith Nesbit's contemporary fairy tales: The influence of childhood experiences on artistic manifestation
    (2023) Kincal, Fulya
    This research conducts a comprehensive examination of the influence exerted by early life experiences on an author's literary corpus, with a particular emphasis on Edith Nesbit (1858-1924), the author of children’s novel, and her incorporation of childhood memories to enrich the contemporary fairy tale genre. Utilizing Melanie Klein’s (1882-1960) theoretical framework, a renowned Austrian-British psychoanalyst, the investigation endeavours to deliver an exhaustive analysis of Nesbit's artistic persona. Nesbit's children's narratives, as modern fairy tales, embody an internal realm of unconscious reverie akin to Klein's concept of phantasy. Central to Nesbit's tales are young protagonists who confront challenges associated with separation from caregivers, the establishment of identity, reality appraisal, body image maturation, and object relations. Edith Nesbit's harrowing childhood experiences shaped her into the imaginative author she ultimately became. By delving into the realm of fantasy and creativity, Nesbit achieved a sense of completeness and resilience, allowing her to overcome her feelings of loss and vulnerability. This research aims to shed light on the complex link between a writer's formative years and their creative expressions by examining the remnants of Nesbit's early life experiences. Furthermore, by emphasizing Edith Nesbit's ability to transform her experiences into her artistic body of work, this study also demonstrates the power of artistic expression as a means of self-exploration and healing.

    Lament of Medea: A Kinesthetic Performance
    (Cyprus International University, 2023) Kincal, Fulya
    This study shows how the language of lament liberates a woman from a socially constructed murderous identity. By using stylistic analysis and mainly focusing on the method of singing lament, this article shows the possibility of undermining the socially constructed identity of the ancient Greek heroine Medea. As the 19th-century thoughts in England about women acquired the most exacerbated misogynist overtones, the problem for the women artists was a desperate search for a new identity and, thus, for language. Two crucial Victorian poets, Amy Levy and Augusta Webster, turned to Greek mythology to explore the collective cultural constructions, recognized the power of lament as a literary device and used it to provide a new perspective to ancient Greek playwright Euripides’ Medea. They formulated their poem using the linguistic and contextual rules of lamentation, such as interrogative questions, alliteration, assonance, phonetic structuring, highly metaphorical language, wordplay, parallelism and antithesis. Due to the figurative devices and deviant use of language, they made the reader witness the melancholy and mourning of heroin. They got the reader to think that they should reconsider Medea. Thus, this study focuses on the poetic language of Levy and Webster to provide a different angle to the concept of identity and give the reader a better sense of what Medea is all about. This article provides critical insight into the power of the language of lament in the deconstruction of rigid and stable identity. Moreover, it shows the critical role that language and the performance of lament play in the construction of the self-perception of the speaking subject. © 2023 Cyprus International University.

    REBUILDING SELF: LOSS AND TRANSFORMATION IN ALAN SILLITOE’S “THE FISHING BOAT PICTURE”
    (2024) Kincal, Fulya
    This study explores the ideas presented by British writer Alan Sillitoe concerning existentialism, focusing on his unique perspective on the theme of loss through the lens of the British object relations theory. Sillitoe’s literary portrayal of the protagonist and his coping mechanisms for grief and loss offer a distinctive perspective to analyze shifts in individual identity. Our focus centres on Sillitoe’s story titled \"The Fishing Boat Picture,\" which allows us to explore the connection between loss, grief, and personal transformation. Through the protagonist—an elderly man who comes to terms with his wife’s passing and discovers a sense of self—this paper presents a framework for comprehending how loss impacts the disruption and rebuilding of one’s identity. Moreover, it sheds light on how psychological experiences of loss can shape individuals’ perception of themselves by emphasizing how moments of loss and grief can lead to profound growth by serving as experiences. Ultimately, this research contributes to a comprehension of the psyche and how we navigate through losses and grief while constructing our identities.

    The Self and Maternal Care: An Analysis of Rossella Schillachi's ‘Imprisoned Lullaby’
    (2023) Kincal, Fulya
    This paper discusses the importance of the nature of maternal care as it determines healthy or unhealthy psychological development. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the ongoing quality of mother-infant interaction is more important than the issue of separation from the mother, as a close but unavailable mother or caregiver may cause extreme forms of trauma in the infant. Although attachment researchers have concentrated on the mother-child proximity and the disruptive effect of separation from the mother in the development of attachment theory, less attention has been directed towards the quality of caregiving processes that contribute to the formation and maintenance of secure attachment bonds across the lifespan. This study aims to fill this gap by showing the negative effects of suppressed and unresolved grief internalized by the mother on the mental and physical health of the child. To describe the importance of a good enough mother-child relationship, this study uses the method of textual analysis. Rossella Schillaci's documentary \"Ninna Nanna Prigioniera (Imprisoned Lullaby)\" provides a valuable framework to analyze how an insecure attachment between a mother and an infant can be disruptive for a child's self. The documentary follows the experience of a mother who chooses to keep her newborn and young child under three with her in prison. Roscella Schillachi illustrates the development of an insecure attachment between mother prisoner Yasmina and her daughter Lolita. The documentary film shows that unresolved traumas in a caregiver can lead to insecure or disorganized attachments in infants. Although several studies suggest that mother-child proximity during the first two years is crucial to develop a healthy sense of self, this analysis of documentary provides a different approach to the concept of separation and emphasizes that proximity to a mother with unresolved trauma disturb mother-infant attachment more than separation.

    War and Identity: Modernity in Olivia Manning’s The Balkan Trilogy
    (2024) Kincal, Fulya
    This article analyzes the connection between identity development and the socio-political turmoil of the Balkan war as portrayed in British author Olivia Manning’s The Balkan Trilogy. It explores how Harriet Pringle and Guy Pringle, the protagonists, exemplify the model of modern individual, whose identity and self-perception is in constant flux, reshaped by the chaotic environment of the Balkan war. This analysis is framed within the context of Anthony Giddens’ ideas on modernity particularly highlighting how war accelerates individualization and self reflection. Furthermore, we will explore the dynamics of Guy and Harriet’s relationship using Gidden’s concept of mutually transforming and changing love to understand how their partnership evolves over time. We argue that their relationship serves as a microcosm of intimacy amidst pressures challenging traditional notions of love and commitment in light of personal growth and existential struggles. Finally, we bring together these themes to demonstrate how the The Balkan Trilogy provides a platform for exploring the implications of Giddens’ theory of identity in the late modern period. Taking everthing into consideration, we will show that Manning’s narrative offers insights into the complexities of self identity and relationships in today’s changing and uncertain world particularly in the context of war.
