Burcu Kuheylan holds double-major B.A. degrees from Istanbul University’s departments of English Language and Literature and Art History, as well as an MPhil degree from SUNY at Stony Brook’s English Department. She is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida’s Department of English. Her research interests include international Modernism, Marxist and Feminist Theory, Utopia, Science Fiction, and the representation of women and children in fiction. Her dissertation project is tentatively titled “Future in Crisis Tense: Neoliberalism, Dystopia, and Technologies of Generation.” It links the current popularity of dystopian narratives with the systemic impoverishment of the utopian imaginary since neoliberalism’s rise in the late 1970s as the globally hegemonic politico-economic order. With an emphasis on crises of representation and reproduction, she critiques neoliberal structures and institutions while foregrounding emergent utopian alternatives that await further literary and theoretical attention. Kuheylan’s teaching draws on the intersections of theory, genre, narrative, and fiction’s relation to visual arts. It also explores subjects related to technology, embodiment, political activism, and fiction by Millennials.
