Erken Sönen Güneş Işığı: Şair Petya Dubarova‘nın Hüzünlü Hikayesi
No full textÖz: Bulgar edebiyatının en yetenekli, en genç ve en ünlü temsilcilerinden biri olan Petya Dubarova Türkiye’de pek tanınmayan bir şairdır. Bu nedenle bu araştırmanın öncelikli amacı Bulgar yazarı Türk okuyucularına ve bilim dünyasına tanıtmaktır. Haksızlıklar ve adaletsizlik karşısında dik durduğu için Petya dünyayı çok erken terk etmiş. Muhteşem yeteneğini sonuna kadar ortaya çıkarmadan ve belki de en güzel şiirlerini kaleme almadan daha 17 yaşında intihar ederek yaşama veda etmiştir. Bu araştırmada Dubarova’nın renkli ve hüzünlü hayat hikâyesi büyüteç altına alınmış, ayrıca hem “Öğrenci Petya”nın hem de “Şair Petya”nın portresi resmedilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın özeğinde Petya’nın öz yaşamı, romantik aşkları, öğrencilik yılları, yaşadığı kişisel sorunlar ve yazarlık yeteneği yer almaktadır. Petya Dubarova Bulgaristan’ın unutulamayan, henüz çocuk yaşta olağanüstü yeteneğiyle dikkat çeken şairlerinden biridir. Onun şiirsel kalıtı genellikle çocuksu arılığı, ergenlik yürekliliğini, felsefi sorgulamaları ve müthiş yaratıcılığı yansıtmaktadır. Dubarova geride yüzlerce yanıtsız soru bırakarak, çok genç yaşta yaşamına son vererek bizlerden ayrılmıştır. Kısa yaşamında bizi şaşırtmayı başarmış, ne var ki muazzam yeteneğinin yalnızca küçük bir ipucu vermiştir bizlere. Yaşamında da ölümünden sonra da bu genç yetenek tam olarak kavranamamış ve çevresindeki gizemli bulut da bir türlü çözülememiştir. Türk okuyucuları çocuk yaştaki bu yazarı pek bilmedikleri için hüzünlü yaşam serüvenini ve ozan olarak başarılarını bir makalede irdelemenin yararlı olacağı düşünülmüştür. Bu araştırmanın, Bulgar edebiyatı alanında ülkemizde önemli bir yayın boşluğunu doldurması umut edilmektedir.As one of the most talented, youngest, and renowned writers of Bulgaria, Petya Dubarova is a poet relatively unknown in Türkiye. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to introduce the Bulgarian author to the Turkish readers and the academic world. Petya departed this world way too prematurely because she confronted and resisted against the injustice and unfairness. Without revealing her amazing talent to the fullest and perhaps without writing her most beautiful poems, she bid farewell to the world by committing suicide at the age of 17. The present study focused on the colorful and sad life story of Dubarova, and the portrait of both the "Student Petya" and "Poet Petya" was depicted. The crux of this study includes Petya's personal life, her romantic affairs, her years as a student, her personal problems and her talent as a writer. Petya Dubarova is one of Bulgaria's most memorable and mystifying talented juvenile poets. Her poetic legacy often reflects childlike innocence, adolescent chivalry, philosophical inquiry and unearthly creativity. Dubarova departed this world, leaving behind hundreds of unanswered questions and ending her life at a very young age. She really managed to mystify us in her very short span of life and more importantly, demonstrated us only a small hint of her enormous talent. This young talent failed to be fully appreciated during her life or after her death, and the mystery around her could not be identified. Since Turkish readers are mostly unfamiliar with this tender- age writer, we are of the opinion that it will be worth of while to investigate her sad life adventure and her achievements as a poet in an article. It is believed that this study will fill an important scientific publication gap in Turkey in the field of Bulgarian literature
Using Constructivist Grounded Theory to Construct a Substantive Theory for Corporate Social Responsibility
No full textGrounded Theory strategy (GT) has been introduced almost 50 years ago as the approach developed significantly since that time and contributed to emergence of variety of GT strategies. One of these variations is the constructive turn of Kathy Charmaz. In this paper we demonstrate (1) the potential of Constructive Grounded Theory (CGT) into scientific inquiry on CSR and (2) how the approach was implemented in order to build a substantive theory for CSR by utilising a practical example from a recently completed doctoral study by the lead author.<br/
A Systematic Review on Corporate Social Responsibility Literature in the Middle East:Conceptual Gaps and Challenges
No full textCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a research area of burgeoning focus for international business and yet it is mostly dominated by its Western perspectives. However, the CSR movement can have global ramifications and thus it is important to examine its potential variations in different socio-cultural contexts. This paper chooses to examine the status of CSR in the Middle East by utilising extant secondary sources in the field. The results highlight two interconnected yet contradictory issues: (a) CSR as a concept does not appear to be well-researched or well-developed in the Middle Eastern context however it is highly possible that (b) the CSR movement as understood in the Western context may not be particularly relevant in this socio-cultural context and maybe alternative interpretations of CSR are needed. The review identifies gaps in the literature, discusses possible research directions that can enrich our knowledge of CSR by developing unique nuances that will augment the knowledge domain with new theoretical insights for the phenomenon
