6. Bastardized History: Elif Shafak's Transcultural Poetics

Ralph J. Poole · 2022

Catalogue summary

A scene from Elif Shafak's The Bastard of Istanbul places Turkish Asya beside her Turkish-Armenian American cousin Armanoush amid clashing Istanbul and American cultural references.

Why this matters

The visitor's perspective makes family, ethnicity, tourism, and transnational belonging legible within the novel's deliberately unsettled urban poetics.
