SUMMARY:Young Scholar: From the Caucasus to Europe: Modernism and Cultural Encounters in Post-Soviet Georgian Literature
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 25 September 2025\, at 7:00 PM\, Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London will host the 39th session of its Young Scholar Seminar Series\, featuring a talk by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gül Mükerrem Öztürk\, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Department of Georgian Language and Literature\, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University (Rize\, Türkiye)\, and Academic Visitor in Russian and East European Studies at the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies\, University of Oxford.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Dr. Öztürk will explore how modernism and cultural encounters were reshaped in Georgian literature after independence\, situating this transformation within the broader context of post-Soviet cultural change. Modernist aesthetics\, long overshadowed during the Soviet period\, reemerged in the post-1991 literary landscape alongside pressing questions of identity\, nation\, and cultural interaction. \nBy focusing on authors such as Guram Dochanashvili\, Otar Chkheidze\, and Aka Morchiladze\, the talk will examine how literature mediated between tradition and modernity\, and how it engaged with questions of memory\, trauma\, and cultural hybridity. Special attention will also be given to Georgian-language sources preserved at the University of Oxford\, demonstrating how archival materials provide valuable insights into the continuities and ruptures of Georgian modernism. \nThe event will take place at Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London\, 10 Maple Street\, W1T 5HA\, and will be held in English. Admission is free\, but registration is essential. \n\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor Dr Gül Mükerrem Öztürk is currently an Academic Visitor at the University of Oxford\, Russian and East European Studies. She is the Head of the Department of Georgian Language and Literature at Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University in Turkey. Her TÜBİTAK-funded project\, Modernism and Cultural Interactions in Post-Soviet Georgian Literature\, explores the evolution of Georgian modernism\, its role in shaping national identity\, and its impact on cultural exchanges. She has published extensively on Georgian–Turkish literary relations\, Soviet and post-Soviet translation practices\, and cultural politics in the Caucasus\, and actively participates in international conferences and collaborations. \n\n\n\n\nThis talk forms part of the Young Scholar Seminar Series organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London. \nFor more information on the event\, please email us at londra@yee.org.tr \nIMPORTANT NOTES\nPlease note that this event is first come first served and may be overbooked.
