Bakire Yeni Dünya ve Kapsamlamanın Mantığı

Year 2010, Volume: 50 Issue: 1, 35 - 45, 01.01.2010

Abstract

Amerika kıtası, varlığı Avrupalılar tarafından öğrenilmeden önce de üzerinde insan toplulukları yaşayan bir alan olduğu için kullanılmakta olan “keşif” sözcüğü kıtanın yerlilerini ötekileştirerek Avrupa-merkezci bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Öte yandan kıtanın adı “Amerika” bütünün parçayı gösterdiği kapsamlama yoluyla Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ne işaret ederek yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu tip olağan görülen retorik araçların ve söz sanatlarının temelinde ideolojik bir tavır yatmaktadır. Her iki örnekte de Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin kültürel ve siyasi hegemonyasının dil yoluyla yeniden üretilmekte olduğu görülmektedir.

Virgin New World and the Logic of Synecdoche

Year 2010, Volume: 50 Issue: 1, 35 - 45, 01.01.2010

Abstract

The use of the word “discovery” marking the beginning of the existence of the American continent in the European mind transforms the original inhabitants of the continent to “others” in their own homelands and offers a Eurocentric viewpoint. Further, the title covering the whole continent “America” is popularly used to point to The United States of America through employing totum pro parte synecdoche. These types of rhetorical devices and figurative instruments go unnoticed, however they are based on a certain ideology. Both examples show that the perceived cultural and political hegemony of the United States is reconstructed through language.
