    A Feminist Reading of Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey
    (Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2024) Serdaroğlu, D.; Department of English Language and Literature
    Considered to be a fourth wave of feminist, Rupi Kaur deals with the problems of women, such as sexual discrimination, misogynism, violence and commodification of the female body. Despite the harsh criticism targeting her minimalist and simple writing style embellished with her own illustrations, Kaur makes her voice heard throughout the world via the Internet- especially the social media- by sharing her poems on the Instagram. The poet divided her milk and honey (2014), into four parts; in each of the four parts which symbolizes a different stage of a woman's life replete with fears, challenges, struggles and hopes, she not only talks about the sufferings of women and female empowerment but also with her illustrations, she attracts many readers visually. Hence, this chapter analyses Rupi Kaur's milk and honey from a feminist perspective by focusing on victimization and commodification of women as well as women empowerment with regard to her non- traditional writing style. © 2023 Peter Lang Group AG, Lausanne.

    Iv: Victorian Hypocritical Sexual Politics: Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet
    (Peter Lang AG, 2021) Serdaroğlu,D.; Department of English Language and Literature
    Being classified as a historical and a Neo- Victorian novel, Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet (1998) is set in the late 19th century, the late 1880s and the 1890s, Victorian England. The novel explores the boundaries of gender roles, sex and romance in the Victorian era by depicting the marginalised and ostracised existence of the female same- sex lovers. The novel foregrounds the hypocrisy hidden behind the seemingly impeccable Victorian values, norms and beliefs concerning ethics, morality and certain behaviours defining gender roles. The author sheds light on the "other" side of the Victorian society through her protagonist, Nancy Astley (Nan King), and her same- sex partners from different classes. Nancy, together with her lovers defy the long- established Victorian view which stigmatised lesbian intercourse as perversion. Waters puts particular emphasis on class distinction while depicting her protagonist wandering in London streets among various queer characters from different classes. The author's aim in so doing is to show that what was deemed to be perversion is not exclusive to one social class. The novel, in a sense, urges the reader to reconsider the stereotyped image of femininity and masculinity. Thus, the author offers an alternative perspective to the figure of lesbian which was then regarded as an unspeakable and abominable sickness. The aim of this study is to dwell on the hypocritical handling of gender stereotyping which is pertinent to not only Victorian era but also present day. Judith Butler's queer theory and gender performativity and Michel Foucault's history of sexuality will constitute the theoretical framework of the paper. © Peter Lang AG 2021.
