| dc.description.abstract | In its historical context, the image of the Turk—which presents itself along with the histories, memories and stories throughout Central Europe as well as the Balkans— evolved significantly, owing much to the fact that these regions were and still are inhabited by people of various ethnicities, religions, and cultural structures, and were often focal points of crucial political changes and social developments, including the emergence of the Muslim population amongst the native Orthodox population of the Balkans. Kyra Kyralina and The Bridge on the Drina are works that focus on the condi tion of the Balkans, a region ruled by numerous empires, while using the both histori cal and mythological image of the Turk. This chapter aims to analyze and criticize the stories and memories in these works, specifically in the light of Andre Gingrich’s theory of frontier Orientalism, which largely focuses on the Orientalism observed and understood by the people who are/ were members of the nations placed between and on the borders of the Occident and the Orient. Additionally, this chapter will compare and contrast the different perspec tives on and ideas of the image of the Turk in the novels while analyzing the frontier condition represented by the themes and characters of the works. This image (and the differences between its variations) is emphasized and underlined within the scope of Joep Leerssen’s Imagology and MacMillan’s Images of the Turk in Europe. As is the case with most cultural images, the image of the Turk varies significantly, both in Kyra Kyralina and The Bridge on the Drina. | |
