Ders

In this course major works of poetry, mostly in the English and Turkish languages, will be explored comparatively in both a thematic and a chronological framework, and with a view to introduce various traditions, movements, innovations, and cultural exchanges. While the works will be analyzed in terms of poetic language and devices for a greater appreciation of the experience of reading, they will also be historically, culturally, and politically contextualized. This course will further probe the affinity of poetry with the other arts through language, sound, image, and narrative, as well as the problem of the translatability of poetry. In addition to the existing pre-requisite " to have completed 23 credits" for this course , a new condition will be added as "to complete SPS 101 and SPS 102 courses at least with D grade" as of the Fall semester of 2015-2016 Academic Year. Students who failed from SPS 101 and SPS 102 courses, do not have right to take this course.
