'Frankenstein' in Turkey : Transnational Adaptations, Vernacular Gothic, and Visual Culture
Hediye Matz
The proposed book aims to analyze the cross-cultural visual interpretations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by discussing the process of adaptation, nationalization, localization, and Turkification across diverse genres, mediums, and timeframes. It focuses on how the Western canonical story is visually reinterpreted in the historical, social, cultural, and linguistic context of the Middle East to include the “Other” side in the Western-oriented scholarship of the afterlife of Frankenstein and deconstruct Mary Shelley’s orientalist approach to Turks and the Middle East. By analyzing the novel’s transnational reimaginings within a new geographical, linguistic, and aesthetic space, the proposed book aims to bring the periphery to the center within the mainstream Anglo-American reinterpretations of the afterlife of Frankenstein and provide an Eastern perspective to the interplay of the ongoing word and image dialogue.
