Özet:

The second in a series of biennial international conferences on distinguished American authors, organized by the Department of American Culture and Literature of Başkent University, Ankara, the International F. Scott Fiztgerald Conference was held on 7-8 May 2015. As was the case in the selection of Henry James for the first conference, the organizers chose F. Scott Fitzgerald not only because he is considered among the masters of American literature but also because his oeuvre provides ample opportunities for a multiperspectival approach. There was a total of twenty-eight papers presented in the course of two days, by academics from Algeria, Canada, Germany, India, Iran, Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States as well as Turkey. This special issue of the Journal of American Studies of Turkey is composed of the selected papers from the conference, demonstrating the fact that despite seventy-five years after his death and almost a century after the publication of his works, F. Scott Fitzgerald can still not be academically exhausted.
