Nesir: Edebiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi

About the Journal

Nesir: Journal of Literary Studies is a biannual (April and October), double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that publishes scholarly research on literature in Turkish and English. Established in October 2021, the journal features research articles and book reviews.

Nesir publishes scholarship in line with the following core objectives and prioritizes original academic works particularly aimed at postgraduate researchers, postdoctoral scholars, and professional academics:

• To support original research that analyzes the structural and semantic specificities of Turkish literature on historical and theoretical levels, focusing on its internal dynamics.
• To bring contemporary debates in literary theory and literary historiography into the academic agenda and to foster a critical, dynamic, and productive engagement with these theoretical approaches.
• To provide a platform for comparative studies that trace the historical and contemporary transformations of literary production, form, and reception practices across different national literatures and to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on the global diversity of literature.
