Abstract

In this paper, first, I intend to analyze the cognitive metaphors associated with Amerigo Vespucci’s letters in Italian and the traces of environmental devastation: “Indians Are Gold,” “Animals Are Health,” “Oceans are Slaves,” and “Nature is a Physician” are some of the cognitive metaphors present in Amerigo Vespucci’s letters that are present in this book: Vespucci, Amerigo. Cronache Epistolari: Lettere 1476-1508. Compiled by: Perini, Leandro. 2013. Florence: Firenze University Press. Second, the letters of Amerigo Vespucci will be investigated in accordance with the following: 1) Amerigo Vespucci’s traditional nature love: Judeo-Christian views on nature and Saint Thomas; 2) commercial traces of nature devastation in Amerigo Vespucci, such as researches for gold and commercial ways; and 3) scientific aspects of nature in Amerigo Vespucci. In addition to these, third, the metaphors underlying the games played by children through natural objects in Turkey, Israel, Italy, and England will be analyzed and compared, and a peace education theory based on ecocriticism will be proposed.

Keywords Environmental humanities, ecological history, Amerigo Vespucci, peace education, children’s games in Turkey, Israel, Italy, and England

Bu çalışmada, öncelikle, İtalyanca olan Amerigo Vespucci’nin mektuplarındaki bilişsel eğretilemeleri ve çevre tahribatının izlerini incelemeyi amaçlıyorum: “Yerliler Altındır,” “Hayvanlar Sağlıktır,” “Okyanuslar Kölelerdir” ve “Doğa Bir Doktordur” bu kitapta bulunan Amerigo Vespucci’nin mektuplarındaki eğretilemelerden bazılarıdır: Vespucci, Amerigo. Cronache Epistolari: Lettere 1476-1508. Hazırlayan: Perini, Leandro. 2013. Floransa: Firenze University Press. İkinci olarak, Amerigo Vespucci’nin mektupları aşağıdakilere göre analiz edilecektir: 1) Amerigo Vespucci’nin geleneksel doğa sevgisi: doğa hakkındaki Yahudi-Hristiyan görüşler ve Aziz Thomas; 2) Amerigo Vespucci’de doğa tahribatının ticari izleri, altın ve ticari yol arayışları gibi; ve 3) Amerigo Vespucci’de doğaya bilimsel yönden bakışlar. Bunlara ek olarak, üçüncüsü, Türkiye, İsrail, İtalya ve İngiltere’de doğal nesnelerle oynanan oyunlara göz atılacak ve karşılaştırılacaktır. Sonuçta, çevreci eleştiriye dayalı bir barış kuramı ileri sürülecektir.
