Türk Akademiyasında Ekoeleştiri Çalışmaları Üzerine Kapsamlı bir Araştırma

Öz

Ekoeleştiri kuramı ve buna bağlı çalışmalar Türk akademiyasında 1990’lı yılların sonunda, öncü akademisyenler Ufuk Özdağ ve Serpil Oppermann tarafından çalışılmaya başlanmıştır. Beşerî bilimler alanındaki araştırmacılar arasında popülerlik kazanması ise 2000’li yıllara dayanmaktadır. Doğa temalı edebiyat araştırmaları her ne kadar Türk akademiyasında daha eski yıllara dayanıyor olsa da, ekoeleştiri alanında geniş kapsamda tür ve konular üzerine yayınlar gerçekleşmesi doğa ve insan ilişkilerine yeni bir bakış getirerek değişim yaratmıştır. Bu makale, Türk akademiyasında son yirmi yılda ortaya konan ekoeleştiri çalışmalarına yönelik kapsamlı bir araştırma sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın hedefi Türk ekoeleştiri araştırmalarını iki ana başlık altında mercek altına almaktır: yayımlanmış kitaplar/makaleler ve yayımlanmamış tezler. Çalışmanın nihai amacı uluslararası araştırmacılara Türk ekoeleştiri çalışmalarını tanıtmak, ekoeleştiri alanında en az ve en çok çalışılmış alt alanları tespit etmek ve gelecek dönemlerde bu alanda çalışacak Türk akademisyenler için bir çerçeve oluşturabilmektir. Bu bağlamda, makalenin beşerî bilimlerde araştırmalarını sürdüren ve gelecekte ekoeleştiri alanında çalışmalar yürütecek Türk akademisyenler için bir rehber niteliği taşıması hedeflenmektedir.

A Comprehensive Survey of Ecocritical Studies in Turkish Academia

Abstract

Ecocritical theory began to be studied in Turkish academia during the late 1990s by pioneer scholars, Ufuk Özdağ and Serpil Oppermann. However, it was after 2000 that ecocritical studies started to gain popularity among Turkish scholars of the humanities. Although nature-oriented research dates back to earlier times in Turkish academia, research on a wide variety of genres and issues within the scope of ecocriticism created change by a re-evaluation of nature and human relationships. This research aims to provide a comprehensive survey of ecocritical studies of the last two decades, and explore Turkish ecocritical scholarship under two major headings: published books/articles, and unpublished dissertations. The ultimate purpose of this research is to introduce Turkish ecocritical studies to international scholars, to determine the least and most scrutinised ecocritical subfields, and to establish a framework for Turkish researchers of ecocritical theory. This article also strives to become a guide for future Turkish scholars of the humanities who are just stepping into ecocritical theory.
