Literary Diplomacy: Literature As A Tool Of Public Diplomacy in Turkey
Abstract
This work aims to study the relation of literature to public diplomacy within representative contexts and to investigate it from translation activities to literature festivals. Literary texts and literature festivals as part of cultural activities, in which public diplomacy conducted by means of soft power finds a wide field of use, constitute a significant medium to acquaint people of other nations with the cultural heritage and human nature of nations. In this work, following a discussion on cultural diplomacy, the concept of literary diplomacy will be explained and the potential of its utilization in Turkey in regards to various examples will be studied through literature survey. Furthermore, the implementation of literature as a tool of public diplomacy via historical and contemporary examples will be presented. Concluding remarks will be made on literature's function of relationship building and its position as an agent of universal peace. In particular, points where public diplomacy and literature intersect and enhance each other and their scopes of application will be laid out in this work.
