The Military

Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev is one of the well-known names of 20th century Russian literature, and he is one Russian writer familiar to Turkish readers. A successful author of war prose, Bondarev attracted the attention of the Turkish audience with a wide range of literary works which includes novels, novellas, short stories, poems, articles, essays, interviews, etc. In this respect, the years in which he produced writings on the universal theme of war have an important place in Turkish politics. Bondarev began to be published in Turkey during the politization process following the military coup (1980) and he continued to be present in Turkey until the day he died. Especially in the 80’s when he was adopted as a war prose writer he was a guide for left-wing people in the struggle after the events of September 12. It is worth noting that the recent significant increase of interest in Bondarev’s work among Turkish linguists and philologists indicates that he is popular with the Turkish reader no less than the recognized classics of Russian literature. In this article, Bondarev’s position in Turkey from past to present will be analyzed in view of the studies on him in Turkish press and literature, and it will be emphasized that the author engrossed the Turkish reader with his artistic expertise and the ideology relayed through his works.

Resumo: Este trabalho estuda a trajetória do pseudônimo shakespeariano Caliban, adotado pelo escritor Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934), em 1890, para veicular literatura licenciosa nos impressos. Acompanhamos o pseudônimo desde sua estreia até sua última aparição no mundo editorial na década de 1940. Para levar a cabo a tarefa, consultamos os livros publicados por Caliban e investigamos sua atuação na imprensa periódica por meio da consulta online dos jornais na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban foi um autor de sucesso e parte desse reconhecimento vinha da origem erudita de seu nome. O filtro shakespeariano era crucial para a aceitação dessa literatura nos circuitos letrados, mas muitos a consideravam como mera pornografia. A literatura de Caliban revela um Coelho Neto moderno, contestador e inovador que foi esquecido pela tradição crítica.Palavras-chave: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; literatura licenciosa.Abstract: This work studies the trajectory of the Shakespearean pseudonym “Caliban”, adopted by writer Henrique Coelho Neto (1864-1934) in the 1890s to convey licentious literature in print. We follow the pseudonym from its debut until its last appearance in the publishing world in the 1940s. To carry out the task, we consulted the books published by Caliban and investigated his performance in the periodic press through online consultation of newspapers in the Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Caliban was a successful author and part of that recognition came from the erudite origin of his name. The Shakespearean filter was crucial for the acceptance of this literature in literary circuits, but many considered it as mere pornography. Caliban’s literature reveals a modern, challenging and innovative Coelho Neto who has been overlooked by critical tradition.Keywords: Coelho Neto; William Shakespeare; Caliban; licentious literature.

Born of Lithuanian Jewish parentage, author Sarah Gertrude Millin grew up amongst the diamond diggings in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Beginning with The Dark River (1919), Millin published seventeen novels in a career spanning five decades. The publication of God’s Step-Children (1924) cemented her international reputation. The South Africa of Millin’s novels is represented with a stark and pessimistic realism. Her fiction depicts both urban and rural South Africa, and her work embodies many of the opinions of her English-speaking, white, middle-class, South African contemporaries. While Millin was a prolific and popular writer during her lifetime, posthumously her reputation has suffered because of the recurrent themes of racial purity and abhorrence of miscegenation in her writings. J. M. Coetzee’s 1980 article on the author has had a particularly significant role in the establishment of (still scant) scholarly criticism on Millin. Millin’s oeuvre also includes two autobiographies, a six-volume diary, and copious non-fictional works on South African concerns. Of these, her biography of diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes (1933) was particularly acclaimed. As a successful author in her own era, acquainted with many of the modernist writers of the time, Millin is both a significant figure in South African women’s literary history and a representative of racist colonial ideologies.

As the BBC's “Hut Man”, Gilbert Dempster Fisher was a pioneer of radio broadcasting for children in Scotland in the 1940s and 1950s. Also a successful author of children's books on natural history, he based both his writings and his broadcasts on his observations of the wildlife that surrounded his isolated hut near Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire. Devoted to pedagogy, he established “The Hut-Man's Club” for children in the late 1930s and was foremost in the encouragement of natural history in Scottish schools. He also wrote poetry for young children and, from 1947 to 1950, he produced The children's magazine. During the last decade of his “Hut life” he was engaged by Scottish local education authorities to speak in schools and residential camps about nature study, captivating children with his “Hut Man” tales. He also engaged with teachers to help them deliver natural history lessons, writing a comprehensive guide book on the subject. The teacher-training authorities, however, failed to capitalize on his vision of nature study within the school curriculum. Disillusioned by their intransigence and faced with local environmental degradation of the Hut Country and inappropriate housing development locally, he moved east. In 1956 he was appointed Director-Secretary of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland administering Edinburgh Zoo. This paper concentrates on his “Hut Man” career as an author and radio presenter; the communication of natural history being its central theme, at a time when radio was becoming a popular medium of mass communication.
