The Meaning Behind Cemal Süreya’s Signature That You’ve Never Noticed Before

There is probably no one who doesn’t know famous poet Cemal Süreya or hasn’t read one of his verses. Cemal Süreya, who allows us to passionately express our love and shares our pain when needed, is also a great designer. How, you ask? Thanks to the multiple meanings hidden in his legendary signature…

“I am dying, my God. This happened too… Every death is an early death. I know, my God.”

With many poetry books like Üvercinka, Beni Öp Sonra Doğur Beni, and Sevda Sözleri, Cemal Süreya, one of the poets of the Republic era, deeply affects us. Cemal Süreya, who reflects his love with Tomris in his verses, is one of the poets who best understands love.

Cemal Süreya, about whom you have heard many legends, continues to be on our agenda today with topics that arouse curiosity about him. Among writers and poets, Cemal Süreya undoubtedly has the most unique signature. Many different theories have been proposed to solve the mystery of this signature. So much so that essays have been written and articles have been penned about this signature.

Essayist Salah Birsel says the protrusion in the signature is a bowler hat, while poet Metin Altıok thinks it’s a fedora hat and writes;

The fedora in Cemal’s signature Sometimes was on his head too A little amateurish A little shy

Famous writer and poet Sunay Akın, on the other hand, believes that this signature is actually the silhouette of Cemal Süreya. Sunay Akın explains his thought with these words;

“When you pull the hook-like protrusion at the end of the signature down and straighten it, you can see a human profile. The person in the profile is Cemal Süreya himself. The part that looks like a hat is actually Süreya’s nose. The lips just below the nose are where the ever-smoking cigarette of Süreya rests. The name Cemal, which means beauty of the face, is already there. There is no ear in the signature. The famous poet now rests in the Kulaksız Cemetery on the shores of the Golden Horn.”

So far, Sunay Akın’s idea has been accepted. But could there be other hidden meanings in Cemal Süreya’s signature? On Twitter, a user named Nisan Erdem shared this book signed by Cemal Süreya. Do you see the similarity between the protrusion in the signature and the word Istanbul?

Could Cemal Süreya have hidden an Istanbul silhouette in his signature? Or is it just a coincidence…

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You?

Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
