Safiye Erol’un Romanlarında Yeme-İçme Kültürü ve Alışkanlıkları
Safiye Erol, erken Cumhuriyet dönemi Türk kadın romancılarındandır. Yazmış olduğu dört roman (Kadıköyü’nün Romanı-1938, Ülker Fırtınası-1944, Ciğerdelen-1946, Dineyri Papazı-1955), modern Türk romanının öncü örneklerindendir. Romanlarında Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyet’e geçen Türk toplumuna dair önemli sosyolojik veriler barındıran yazar, dönemin canlı İstanbul hayatı için folklorik, kültürel ve ideolojik çalışmalara imkân sağlayacak bir birikimi taşır. Roman kurgusunda günlük hayatın birçok safhasına yeme-içme faaliyetinin bir boyutunu yerleştiren yazar, sofra kültüründen, tercih edilen yiyeceklere, zamanın ekonomik atmosferi ile yemek edinme kabiliyetine, sokak satıcılarına kadar çok çeşitli dünyaların kapılarını aralamıştır. Romanlar boyunca dönemin İstanbul’unda yeme-içme alışkanlıkları ve kültürü bağlamında en dikkat çeken unsur, kadın ve erkek dünyasında içkinin eşit seviyede eğlence ve kederden kurtulma aracı olmasıdır. Sigara da kadın ve erkek dünyasında eşit seviyede ve yoğun tüketilen keyif verici bir maddedir. Kadın-erkek müşterek hayat ve ortak eğlence dünyası İstanbul hayatında doğal bir sürece dönüşmüştür. Balık, İstanbulluların hayatında önemli bir yemektir. Beyaz un, ekmek ve şeker İstanbullunun teminde zorlandığı temel gıdalardandır. Kahve, meyve şerbetleri ve şurupları çok tercih edilen içeceklerdir. Çay, romanlar boyunca bir yerde İngilizlerden bir çay daveti, diğerinde ise kahvehaneden çay isteyip içmek şeklinde geçer. Kahve her yerdedir. Konak, köşk gibi mekânlarda yemekleri yapmak üzere aşçılar yahut yardımcılar vardır. Mezeler, uzun ömürlü soğuk yiyecekler yemek alışkanlıklarının bir parçasıdır. Düğünlerde, nişanlarda toplu yemek sofraları, ölüm gibi hadiselerden sonra lokma, helva, lokum gibi ikramlar o dönemde de mevcuttur. Halk hekimliğinin bir parçası sayılan yiyecek tertipleri romanlar boyunca okuyucuya takdim edilir.

The Curse of Realism: Cognitive Narratology and the Historical Dimension
Monika Fludernik’s Toward a Natural Narratology (1996) develops a detailed historical account of how the textual structures of experientiality identified in the theoretical framework have developed in English fiction since the 17th century. According to Fludernik’s account, the English novel gets progressively better at matching the cognitive schemata underlying such experientiality. The present article argues, however, that such an understanding of the historical dimension of experientiality is an instance of “the curse of realism,” that is, of discussing early modern texts in light of the expectations established by 19th-century realism. It proposes an alternative model for engaging with the historical dimension of cognitive narratology, which is rooted in embodied cognition and predictive processing.

In a Glass Darkly (1872), J. Sheridan LeFanu
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) is another literary Dubliner. Having
studied law at Trinity College, he became a journalist and author, famous
for both his sensationalist novels and his supernatural tales. For In a
Glass Darkly Le Fanu used a technique common in gothic fiction by having a
narrator/editor who presents past documents, in this instance of mysterious
medical case histories from the papers of the nowdeceased Dr Hesselius. The
latter is a European ‘metaphysical physician’ with Swedenborgian leanings
who likes to investigate curious psychological phenomena. He considerably
resembles the later Professor Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Converging the artificial and the natural: Katherine mansfield's actual and imagined botanical gardens
Gardens, whether as locations of interest or literary tropes, featured prominently in the life and works of Katherine Mansfield. The Botanical Gardens off Tinakori Road was one of Mansfield's favourite spots in Wellington. An early black-and-white photo of the gardens shows a geometrical landscape design with regular walking paths cutting through patches of grass decorated with local cabbage trees.1 The mechanical design did not escape Mansfield's attention as she remarked on the traditional 'carpet bedding' near the gardens' entrance. Artificial regularity did have its appeal to Mansfield, for she compared a green hedge to 'a stave', and the ' long row of cabbage trees […] now high, now low' to 'an arrangement of notes - a curious, pattering, native melody' ('Fiction' 1, 84). Yet as soon as her gaze moved beyond the borders of choreographed beauty, the bush captivated her. The young writer felt that she was transformed into someone ancient yet powerful; she was also instantly transported to 'the Lotus Land' where all previous memory of beauty and order was erased (1, 85). While other visitors admired the carpet bedding with an at times almost religious awe, Mansfield savoured the bush in the shadows of her mind (1, 84). The gardens became where domesticated nature and the wilderness competed and converged. To Mansfield, the Wellington botanical gardens were 'such a subtle combination of the artificial and the natural - that is, partly, the secret of their charm' (1, 84). Bearing in mind Mansfield’s description of this ‘combination’, I wish to discuss her gardens in the sense of both the places she visited - the Wellington and London botanical gardens - as well as the imagined, or rather, re-imagined gardens in some of her stories, reviews, and letters. By doing so, I will explore the delicate balance between 'the artificial and the natural', the tame and the wild, and how these two opposing forces or elements contend, negotiate and settle in the creative space of her writing.
