| Summary/Abstract |
Despite the official policy of genocide denial, the Armenian Genocide has been more widely discussed within Turkish society in the twenty-first century, particularly by the intelligentsia, than ever before. However, the more critical approach to the denial of genocide among many in the Turkish intelligentsia is not generally reflected in Turkish literary narratives. Literature is regarded by politicized and nationalist Turkish authors and historians as a discursive space in which to strengthen Turkish official discourse, the voice of denial. The official voice of the state can be clearly discerned in novels published in the period around 2015, due to the historical significance of the hundredth anniversary of the Genocide. However, there are some exceptions – narratives in which the writers seek to engage in cultural resistance, aiming to voice their own political criticism as a mode of social critique. Adopting a sociological approach and a theoretical framework based on historical criticism, this article explores the way Turkish novelistic discourse has responded to the discussion of the Armenian Genocide and Armenian Identity, and examines the representation of otherness (i.e. non-Muslims) in ten contemporary Turkish novels, most of which were published after 2000, when the Armenian issue became more controversial due to certain internal and external factors. .

| Summary/Abstract |
The second half of the nineteenth century in the Ottoman Empire was a period when, with increasing literacy and education, combined with the growing role played by Turkish women in social and professional life, literary activity also registered a marked increase. Books, journals and newspapers in Turkish, and also in other languages, attracted high levels of readership. The article introduces the life and works of Nigâr binti Osman, certainly the most prominent female Ottoman Turkish poet of the closing decades of the Ottoman Empire. Over a hundred years after her death, interest in the life as well as the literary output of Nigâr Hanım remains high.
