Beskrivning

In The Human-Animal Relationship in Pre-Modern Turkish Literature: A Study of The Book of Dede Korkut and The Masnavi, Book I, II, Dilek Bulut Sarikaya explores medieval Anatolia, where humans' connectivity to nonhuman animals was not yet disrupted by the capitalist economic systems and demonstrates how ancient societies treated nonhuman animals as self-conscious, spiritual individuals, capable of feeling pain with highly advanced forms of intentionality.

Recensioner i media

Dilek Bulut Sarikaya’s compelling analysis of two major works of medieval Turkish literature is a welcome and stimulating contribution to the larger field of animal studies as well as to the powerfully emerging areas of Turkish ecocriticism and Turkish cultural studies. Investigating the roles of spirituality and religion in the construction and representation of the more-than-human world in The Book of Dede Korkut and Rumi’s The Masnavi, Sarikaya shows how these texts offer insights and understandings originating in Anatolia’s cultural heritage that can inform our current efforts to undo the damage caused by the anthropocentric thinking.
