Why is it important?
This study highlights the artistic manners that come forward in Pelin Batu's self-translation process, enriched by the use of varying intertextual elements from quotations and allusions to borrowing from a wide array of figures of literature, visual arts, art history, philosophy, and science.
Perspectives
I hope this article makes people think about how we are surrounded by endless variations of intertextuality in our daily lives. Because sometimes we miss looking behind the unseen.
