“…So, he had witnessed and eventually was mentally disturbed by the explicit and implicit evidence of pains and pangs caused towards the harmless natives by all the human badness of the imperialists. Such as an affecting impression could have just as much as troubled Orwell who might have been in heart a follower of the cosmopolitan golden rule that "one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself" (Ferrara, 2013). So, to assume a voice for who have no voice and choice, to identify the flaws and fouls with the powerful, and to celebrate and to advocate equality and advantages and co-existence for the powerless in mind are Orwell's implicit or explicit power and philosophy that he carried in himself, by which he imagined the better through his writing.…”

This paper is an interdisciplinary study of Orwell’s queer-literary genre piece i.e. “A Hanging” with an insight into the “unspeakable wrongness” across that 1931short story / essay by the application of Halliday’s linguistic tool of “Transitivity”. The functional linguistic theory of transitivity is very instrumental in exploring “ideational meaning” about the “on-goings” of characters’ material and mental world as expressed and documented in literature. Albeit comparatively less noticed, Orwell’s “A Hanging” is a superb experiential documentation of his intolerance and disapproval of all unspeakable wrongness in all forms found in “colonialism”, “imperialism”, and “capital punishment”, discovery of all of which through the story has an extended significance and current century relevance. The study comes up with a convincing “cosmopolitan call” for the abolishment of capital punishment. Orwell goes as a narrator mentally aloof from his imperialist fellows and stands as one “odd out” with a deciphered “anti-imperialistic” impulse inside him which marks out colonialism as the very wrong “metamorphosing” power that is in itself demoralizing and makes it a huge impossibility of “equity” among universal humanity. Orwell ended up with a “Geliliolic discovery” of imperialism paving the way of only “oppression and deprivation” of the colonized and injecting a “generic moral decay” inside them; so Orwell cuts his professional “cohortship” with this giant, wrong, inhuman system that practices far-fetched, unconvincing “power imbalance” on earth by taking away the powerless races’ “freedom of speech”, and that bursts into a large scale of “moral decay” and “hollowness” of human hearts.

“…In acknowledging the relevance of these studies and approaches for a deeper understanding of the global outreach or religions, I find more promising for a more articulated reading of the global role of religions today the researches that stress the link between religions and universally inclusive meaning of religious ideas, from the one side, and between religions and transnational societies, from the other [24].…”

The Concept of Periphery in Pope Francis’ Discourse: A Religious Alternative to Globalization?

Abstract:Since the beginning of his mandate, Pope Francis has used the concept of periphery as a metaphor of social marginality. However, the notion of periphery also seems to target the asymmetries generated by the liberal version of globalization. Pope Francis' narrative has to be read in the broader context of the relation between religions and globalization. That interaction is usually conceptualized in terms of religions capitalizing on global "vectors", such as new information and communication technologies, processes of political and institutional integration, shared cultural patterns, transnational phenomena and organizations. An alternative way to analyze the role of religions consists in considering them as agencies defending the perspective of a universal community, putting into question the national political boundaries and contesting the existing global order. Understood in those terms, the concept of periphery reveals to be a powerful rhetoric device, insofar as it suggests that it is possible to get a wider perspective of the current state of the world looking form the edge rather than from the center.

“…Uluslararası ilişkiler yazınında dinin etki alanı giderek büyümüştür (Cox ve Phillpott;31). Uluslararası ilişkilerde, inanca dayalı diplomasi üzerine büyüyen bir literatür bulunmaktadır (Johnston and Sampson 1994;Johnston 2003Johnston , 2011Haynes, 2007;Troy, 2008;Marshall ve Thomas, 2009;Chaplin and Joustra 2010;Toft, Philpott, and Shah 2011;Ferrara 2014;Mavelli and Petito 2014).…”

Uzun yıllardır araştırmacılar dinin etkisinin giderek zayıfladığını ve sekülerleşmenin giderek arttığını iddia etmektedir. Ancak dinin siyasi olaylara ve politikaya etkisi göz önünde bulundurulduğunda bunun hiç de belirtildiği şekilde olmadığı görülecektir. ABD Başkanı Bush’un Irak ve Afganistan saldırılarını meşrulaştırma amacı olarak Haçlı Seferi’ne benzetmesi bu anlamda dinin rolünü net bir şekilde ortaya koymaktadır. Diğer yandan kamu diplomasisi çalışmaları uluslararası ilişkiler yazınında önemi giderek artan kavramlar arasında yer almaktadır. Türkçe yazında da kamu diplomasisine yönelik çalışmalar yoğunlaşmakta ve literatür giderek genişlemektedir. Aynı şekilde Türkiye’nin açılım politikasının bir yansıması olarak Sahra Altı Afrika çalışmaları da önem kazanan bir çalışma alanı olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Pek çok araştırmacı kamu diplomasisi ve Sahra Altı Afrika konularını birleştirerek çalışmalarını sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışmada kamu diplomasisinin bir alt bileşeni olarak inanç diplomasisi ele alınacak ve Türkiye’nin Sahra Altı Afrika’ya yönelik inanç diplomasisi politikası değerlendirilecektir. Afrika açılımı ile SAA’da kalıcı bir iz bırakmak için kolları sıvayan Türkiye’nin odaklanması gereken noktalardan birinin de inanç diplomasisi olduğunu savunan çalışma Türkçe literatüre katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir.
