Abstract

This book is the result of a multidisciplinary work on the languages of the city, which is the proposed theme of the conference organized at Istanbul University (CongIST’2019). It testifies to the diversity of reflections and studies as depicted by the breadth and depth of the work presented herein. The volume, which brings together 21 articles, offers a general overview of the city as conceived, observed, experienced, imagined, discursivized, heard, and perceived by its inhabitants through administrative, political, economic, cultural, artistic, and esthetic bodies. The first part entitled City as a signifying space brings together seven semiotic articles that demonstrate how the city is organized as a space to practice, to live, and, therefore, to make signified; J. Fontanille, D. Bertrand, P. Basso-Fossali, E. Mouratidou, J. Thiburce, and D. Tsala Effa approach the city from its various aspects; each article offers a semiotic reflection on the organization of meaning in and for the city. The second part address the apprehension of the city in social and political discourses. Under the general title The city as a political and social actor, I. Klock-Fontanille, D. Öztin Passerat, N. Öztokat Kılıçeri, A. Djeghar and A. Djeghar, I. Arkhis, and A. Balcou present the plurality of socio-policies woven across the city to address the balance of power that govern socio-discursive systems. The third part, namely, Poetics, aesthetics and city writing, brings together articles that offer various analyses of urban esthetics on literary and cinematographic works. B. Westphal, A. Lévy, A. Kıran, S. Gürses Şanbay, S. M’Selmi, B. Karslı, S. Bankır Mesçioğlu, and Ç. Yılmaz begin with cinematographic and literary works to depict and analyze the development of the city by the authors. Researchers in the social sciences and in the sciences of language gathered herein question the presence of the city in a multiplicity of aspects that are as diverse as possible. Furthermore, they invite readers to new avenues of reflection and research on the city, which is a familiar yet distant space. Le présent ouvrage est issu d’un travail pluridisciplinaire sur les langages de la ville proposés comme thème du colloque organisé à l’Université d’Istanbul (CongIST’2019). Il témoigne de la diversité des réflexions et des études comme nous le montrent l’étendue et l’ampleur des travaux ci-présents. Le volume qui réunit 21 articles propose un aperçu général sur la ville telle qu’elle est conçue, observée, vécue, imaginée, discursivisée, entendue, perçue par ses habitants à travers les instances administratives, politiques, économiques, culturelles, artistiques, esthétiques. La première partie intitulée Ville comme espace signifiant réunit sept articles sémiotiques qui montrent comment la ville s’organise comme espace des pratiques, de la vie, bref de la signifiance; J. Fontanille, D. Bertrand, P. Basso-Fossali, E. Mouratidou, J. Thiburce et D. Tsala Effa abordent la ville sous ses divers aspects ; chacun des articles propose une réflexion sémiotique sur la manière dont le sens s’organise dans et pour la ville. La deuxième partie traite de l’appréhension de la ville dans le discours social et politique. Sous le titre général de La ville comme acteur politique et social, I. Klock-Fontanille, D. Öztin Passerat, N. Öztokat Kılıçeri, A. Djeghar et A. Djeghar, I. Arkhis et A. Balcou traitent de la pluralité relations socio-politiques tissées à travers la ville pour aborder le rapport de forces régissant les systèmes socio-discursifs. La troisième partie de cet ouvrage, Poétique, esthétique et écriture de la ville regroupe les articles proposant des analyses de l’esthétique urbaine dans les œuvres littéraires et cinématographiques. B. Westphal, A. Lévy, A. Kıran, S. Gürses Şanbay, S. M’Selmi, B. Karslı, S. Bankır Mesçioğlu et Ç. Yılmaz partent des ouvrages cinématographiques et littéraires pour montrer et analyser la mise en valeur de la ville chez les auteurs. Les chercheurs en sciences sociales et en sciences du langage ici réunis interrogent la présence de la ville sous une multiplicité d’aspects si divers que possible ; et invitent le lecteur aux nouvelles pistes de réflexion et de recherche sur la ville qu’est cet espace à la fois familier et lointain.

Abstract

This volume titled “The City: Literary Encounters” aims to examine the relationship of the city with language and literature from different perspectives and to present examples of related literary works to the readers. In this book, besides the works that directly focus on cities, there are also wide-ranging scientific studies that address the use of the image of the city in literature. The fact that literature focuses on the image of the city has often turned cities into protagonists of a novel or a poem. Considering the importance of cities in the art of literature, it is not possible to think independently Crime and Punishment from St. Petersburg, A Mind at Peace from Istanbul, and The Miserables from Paris. Although the experience of the city that people have lived in the last centuries has been the subject of every art and discipline, it has become one of the subjects mostly studied by literature. The works in this volume also show that literature has transformed into a language environment which enable cities that literature deals with as a subject to speak, in other words, the language of the city. In this book, which focuses on language studies as well as literary ones, the world’s different cities and cultures are examined through the image and the language diversity of the city. This work, based on both literary and philological contexts, deals with different experiences in the world with various examples and aims to analyze the language of the city. In this book, which is the product of a collective effort, qualified discussions are carried out on subjects such as how the city is described and read in different geographies, different literary traditions, and different literary discourses, and how the city directs the literary production. “Şehir: Edebi Karşılaşmalar” başlığını taşıyan bu cilt, şehrin dil ve edebiyatla olan ilişkisini farklı açılardan incelemeyi ve ilgili edebi eserlerden örnekleri okurlara sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kitapta doğrudan şehirleri konu alan eserlerin yanı sıra, şehir imgesinin edebiyattaki kullanımına değinen geniş çerçevede bilimsel çalışmalar da yer almaktadır. Edebiyatın şehir imgesine odaklanması çoğu kez şehirlerin bir romanın ya da bir şiirin başkahramanına dönüşmesini sağlamıştır. Şehirlerin edebiyat sanatındaki önemi göz önüne alındığında, Suç ve Ceza’yı St. Petersburg’dan, Huzur’u İstanbul’dan, Sefiller’i ise Paris’ten bağımsız düşünmenin mümkün olamayacağı görülür. Son yüzyıllarda insanın yaşadığı şehir deneyimi her sanata ve disipline konu olsa da, en çok da edebiyatın irdelediği konulardan biri halini almıştır. Bu ciltte yer alan çalışmalar da edebiyatın konu aldığı şehirlere konuşma imkânı veren bir dil ortamına, bir başka deyişle şehrin diline dönüştüğünü gösterir. Edebi incelemelerin yanı sıra dil çalışmalarına da odaklanan bu kitapta dünyanın farklı şehirleri ve kültürleri, şehir imgesi ve şehrin barındırdığı dil çeşitliliği ile incelenmektedir. Bu eser, hem edebî hem de filolojik bağlamlardan hareketle, dünyadaki farklı deneyimleri çeşitli örneklerle konu almakta ve şehrin dilini çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kolektif bir çabanın ürünü olarak meydana gelen bu kitapta, farklı coğrafyalarda, farklı edebiyat geleneklerinde, farklı edebî söylemlerde şehrin nasıl yazıldığı ve okunduğu, şehrin edebiyat üretimini nasıl yönlendirdiği gibi konular üzerine nitelikli tartışmalar yürütülmektedir.
