As a required university course for the first year students, TLL 102 is a continuation of TLL 101 and it
aims to analyze novels, short stories, plays, and poems from Turkish literature written in the 20th
century, focusing on issues related to Turkey’s history of modernization.
The aim of the course is twofold. On the one hand, it helps students analyze and discuss how the
Republican social, cultural and political developments are reflected in literature and how in turn
literature influences these developments. On the other hand, it aims to develop students' theoretical
and practical skills in reading and interpreting literary texts. This is achieved by using primary literary
texts from prominent authors of the period. Students are expected to attend classes, read these works,
participate in the discussions and take exams.
