French as Language of Intimacy in the Modern Age Le français langue de l'intime à l'époque moderne et contemporaine, Madeleine van Strien-Chardonneau,Marie-Christine Kok Escalle, Editör, Amsterdam University Press , Amsterdam, ss.165-186, 2016
In modern Turkey, the Battle of Gallipoli bears a dual meaning: it is an honourable victory of an impoverished, decaying empire against the strongest nations of the world and also an '(inter)national trauma' caused by the loss of hundreds of thousands of young men. Tevfik Riza Bey, who was drafted as a reserve officer during this battle, kept a diary/journal intime in French which could be read as both a testimony to this 'inter) national trauma' by a humanist intellectual and also as heartwarming love letters to a beloved by an agonized soul under hellish circumstances. This diary is a 'little (personal) history' (diarist's private domain of 'intimacy') that fights against 'the History' which manifests as a destructive war constantly threatening to invade and swallow it.
