JAST 10: Fall 1999

Published in Fall 1999, the tenth issue of the Journal of American Studies of Turkey investigates disrupted narratives in literature and transnational pedagogy, highlighting how American paradigms are challenged by subversive voices and international communities. Contributors deconstruct dominant frameworks: Victoria Lipina-Berezkina examines John Barth’s postmodernist poetics, and Hasan Al-Zubi compares American Realism to French Naturalism. In feminist critiques, Jeffrey Howlett positions Sylvia Plath against mid-century conformity, while Anna Notaro investigates domesticity in Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Teresa Moralejo-Gárate analyzes Southern mythology in Bobbie Ann Mason, Cristina Stevens evaluates Brazilian American Studies pedagogy, and Laurence Raw explores US-Turkey diplomacy. Finally, Dilek Doltaş and Michael Oppermann review postcolonial autobiography and Coen brothers films.
