Kader Konuk asks why philologists like Erich Auerbach found humanism at home in Istanbul at the very moment it was banished from Europe. She challenges the notion of exile as synonymous with intellectual isolation and shows the reciprocal effects of German émigrés on Turkey's humanist reform movement. By making literary critical concepts productive for our understanding of Turkish cultural history, the book provides a new approach to the study of East-West relations. Central to the book is Erich Auerbach's Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, written in Istanbul after he fled Germany in 1936. Konuk draws on some of Auerbach's key concepts?figura as a way of conceptualizing history and mimesis as a means of representing reality?to show how Istanbul shaped Mimesis and to understand Turkey's humanist reform movement as a type of cultural mimesis. 606 $aLiterary historians$zTurkey$zIstanbul 606 $aPhilologists$zTurkey$zIstanbul 606 $aJewish refugees$zTurkey$zIstanbul 606 $aHumanism$zTurkey$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aTurkey$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$xTurkish influences 607 $aTurkey$xCivilization$xWestern influences 615 0$aLiterary historians 615 0$aPhilologists 615 0$aJewish refugees 615 0$aHumanism$xHistory 676 $a809 676 $aB 700 $aKonuk$b Kader$01707047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821861803321 996 $aEast-West mimesis$94198629 997 $aUNINA
