ABSTRACT This paper argues that resonating with references to the 1980 coup and inspired by the 2013 Gezi Park Protests, Ece Temelkuran's The Time of Mute Swans creates a cross-temporal communication and gives insight into both the past and the present contexts of Turkey. The novel represents the past in ways to revisit, contest and reconstruct its hegemonic and silenced spaces. By doing so, it brings awareness to the formation of institutionalized forms of memory, knowledge, and discourses through which brutality, violence, oppression, inequality and injustice can be consolidated. Remarkably, while communicating the workings of such oppressions, the novel also cycles the acts of resistance. It shows that remembering, asking questions, demanding justice, and creating something different and beautiful are not merely personal contemplations but powerful alternative narratives manifesting the spirit of resistance, activism and solidarity. Accentuating the ways literature and acts of memory can facilitate hopeful cross-generational dialogs to prevent the brutal cycles of oppression, Mute Swans thus enhances our understanding of resistance.

记着并写着Ece Temelkuran的《疣鼻天鹅的时代》中的压迫和抵抗循环

摘要本文认为，Ece Temelkuran的《 The Time of Mute Swans》与1980年政变的灵感产生共鸣，并受到2013年Gezi Park抗议的启发，创造了一种跨时间的交流方式，并深入了解了土耳其的过去和现在。这部小说以重新审视，争夺和重建其霸权和沉默空间的方式代表了过去。通过这样做，它使人们认识到记忆，知识和话语的制度化形式的形成，通过这些形式，可以巩固残酷，暴力，压迫，不平等和不公正。值得注意的是，在传达这种压迫行为的同时，该小说还循环了抵抗运动。它表明记住，提出问题，要求正义，创造不同而美丽的事物不仅是个人的沉思，而且是强有力的替代性叙事，体现了抵抗，行动主义和团结的精神。通过强调文学和记忆的方式可以促进希望的跨代对话，防止残酷的压迫循环，疣鼻天鹅因此增强了我们对抵抗的理解。
