Abstract

This study explores the representation of cultural identity in contemporary English literature and its interpretation by young readers. Using a qualitative approach that combines narrative/textual analysis and reader response methods, data were drawn from three contemporary novels and semi-structured interviews with 20 readers aged 18–22, then analyzed through thematic coding and critical interpretation. The findings show that texts construct cultural identities through character portrayals, symbolic settings, and intercultural conflicts, while young readers negotiate these narratives by connecting them to personal experiences and social contexts. The study concludes that literary texts function as both cultural representation and dialogical spaces where readers actively construct meaning, contributing to the reconstruction of cultural identity. Theoretically, it enriches discussions on cultural representation and reader response, while practically highlighting the role of literature in education to foster intercultural understanding and critical awareness.

Abstract

This study is related to the cohesion applied in the novel The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk. The investigation is focused on the utterances produced by Kemal when talking with Fusun. This paper aims to examine what grammatical and lexical cohesion are used and how these cohesions relate to each other. Because the data were collected in the form of utterances, descriptive qualitative research was applied, and to get a clear understanding of the phenomena that occur in the novel, a content analysis was used. The results showed that Kemal used references, substitutions, ellipsis, and conjunctions in the heading grammatical cohesion and repetition, synonyms, and antonyms in the lexical cohesion heading when talking with Fusun. From these findings, it can be concluded that Kemal’s utterances were constructed through grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion. Regarding the type of grammatical cohesion, reference is the most dominant, and referring to the type of lexical cohesion, repetition is more often used by Kemal. So it can be said that cohesion analysis plays an important role in creating meaning in communication.
