جغرافية الآدب المقارن في تركيا

Abstract EN

This article studies the geographic divergence of comparative literature in turkey in the ottoman era (1299-1923) and modern turkey (1923- present) in connection with eastern and European languages and literary cultures.

the reflections of Edward said, Emily Apter, and other scholars concerning Erich Auerbach and Leo Spitzer and the "invention" of the discipline of comparative literature in istanbul, are placed in dialogue with "comparative consciousness" of ottoman scholars, particularly during the tanzimat (1839-1876), the first constitutional (1876-1878) era, and the decades prior to the foundation of modern turkey.

the article proposes a hybrid identity for comparative literature in turkey to tackle the current crisis of comparative literature in turkey, arising from the divergences of spatial peripheries and periods.
