    The translation of women within the context of the Ottoman-Turkish women's movement (1868-1935)
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Avci Solmaz, Safiye Gul; Karadag, Ayse Banu
    The Ottoman Muslim and Turkish women's movement provides a unique study field for researchers to follow the traces of women's change and the reconstruction of gender roles during the modernisation process initiated in the Ottoman Empire and continued in the transition period from a centuries-old empire to a nation-state, the Turkish Republic. It also sets a perfect example in terms of demonstrating how feminism can acquire different meanings when translated into different contexts. The article aims to approach the movement from the perspective of translation studies and views the change of women and their gender roles as a translation process. Investigating the translation of women within the relevant socio-cultural and political context based on two concepts of translation studies, rewriting and self-translation, the study suggests that women followed purposeful translation strategies in this process to expand their agency and authority in a patriarchal society over time. Presenting a short historical background of the movement with a discussion on women's agency through two strategies, the act of translation and gradualism, the article assesses the dynamics of the movement through the example of Seniha Sami Morali, an underrepresented woman and translator in history, who experienced the process firsthand.

    Tracing the multiple lives of a national romantic female translator in the early Turkish Republican period: Seniha Sami Moralı
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Avci Solmaz, Safiye Gul; Karadag, Ayse Banu
    This article examines Seniha Sami Moral & imath;, a notable yet underrepresented female translator in Turkish translation history. Employing archival methodology, the study conducts a comprehensive investigation of archival documents and related sources to construct a microhistory of Moral & imath;. The aim of the study is to identify and describe her translatorial identity within the socio-cultural and political milieu in which she acted. To this end, the article first presents details about her family and life. It then presents a discussion of her early translation practices against the backdrop of the early Turkish Republican period, suggesting that she adopted a national romantic stance, which influenced her translation practices during the establishment of the new Turkish nation. Lastly, by establishing connections between her translatorial role and other professional positions, the study highlights the interconnectedness of her multiple roles in the pursuit of shaping and preserving what she saw as a unique Turkish identity, which constructs its future by drawing upon its historical foundations.
