“Reading and Understanding: a Journey through Texts”
Abstract: It is generally assumed that the act of reading is an interpretive one. However, the interpretation depends on subjective experience, scope of knowledge under the belt of reader, and many other factors. This talk purports to show some facets of such factors by inviting the audience to embark on a journey through the texts. Authors to be considered are Borges, Karasu, Cortazar, Tanpınar, Perec, Atılgan ve Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi, to name a few.
