States of Desire: Love in Turkish Literature

The Turkish Literature Center of Bilkent University is organizing a symposium entitled "Arzunun Halleri: Türk Edebiyatında Aşk," on December 7, at 9:45 a.m. The purpose of the symposium is to present new approaches to the subjects of love and desire in classical and modern Turkish literature. Academics and researchers from Adnan Menderes, Ankara, Başkent, Bilkent, Hacettepe and Leiden Universities will present papers on various issues, ranging from obscenity in Turkish folk poetry to the Don Juans in Turkish literature, and from the sexual politics of Kemal Tahir to the provocative language of Küçük İskender.
