Week 5/5. Hafta: Additional Questions

How would you explain Tanzimat writers’ understanding of western novel in relation to meddah stories? What would you make of Berna Moran’s comparison between “romans” and “meddah stories” as the universal form of narrations?

What do you make of Okay’s argument on how Ottoman intellectuals during the 19th century approach prose as merely an esthetic, whereas prose as scientific/reasoning tool?
