• LA EXPRESIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA EN LA TRADUCCIÓN DE LA LITERATURA INTERCULTURAL FEMENINA TURCOALEMANA (2024) · Hesperia: Anuario de Filología Hispánica · doi

  The gap in the current research lies in the lack of studies on the translation of violence in Turkish-German literature. The field of feminist transnational translation studies requires more research on the representation of gender-based violence in literature. The study aims to address this gap by analyzing the works of Emine Sevgi Özdamar and Renan Demirkan.

  Future research should continue to explore the representation of gender-based violence in Turkish-German literature. Studies could investigate the translation of violence in other literary contexts, such as in the works of male authors or in different genres. The development of strategies for representing gender-based violence in literature in a way that is sensitive to the experiences of migrant women is also an area for future research.
