Environmental degradation in the world is one of discussing
problems in the literature for many decades. There are a lot of
factors discussed that worsen our environment. Environmental
degradation due to the pollution from fossil fuels induce countries
to decrease their use, however, until the productivity of renewable
resources reaches the necessary level, countries continue to be
highly dependent on non-renewable sources. Another important issue
is increasing waste in all spheres of our life. One of the
solutions for the environmental degradation slowdown is in circular
economy. The circular economy aims to produce as less waste as
possible by reusing materials in new productions. The circular
economy is becoming part of many different sectors of an economy.
This book discusses and analyzes different sectors that are
starting to be involved in the circular economy process in Turkey.
The authors of both the canonical and non-canonical novels in '30s
Turkey prefer to discuss modernity through using gender and related
themes. Moreover, namus (sexual honor) and nationalism form the
limits of alternative discourses. However there is a difference
between the non-canonical and canonical novels in terms of
modernity: the canonical novels explicitly criticize a definition
of modernity as a process that increases the possibilities for
individual liberation, perceives it as reflection of selfish
individualism and defends rather a model of modernity based on a
more rationally and centrally controlled society. According to
them, the first model of modernity shows its darker side in woman's
degeneration. The fundamental sign of this degeneration is that
woman loses her sexual namus. Thus, the main question of the
canonical novel is a negative one: How shouldn't we modernize? It
is a question that reminds the reader primarily of the dangers of
modernity. This defensive position of the canonical novels towards
modernization is explained by the tension between nationalism and
modernism, in Kemalist ideology and practice.
