animals, i.e. other than men, could not be rational. Moreover, the origin of this capacity to reason is conceived to be both divine and male. But even before Aristotle, the Pythagoreans (570 bce), as well as Aristotle's archetypal predecessor, Socrates (469-399 bce) and Aristotle's mentor, Plato (428-347 bce), all made reason the central focus of western philosophy.3 Th e 'witch' thus, as the Western embodiment of non-reason, and anti-rational procedures, emerges in this study as an icon (or a symptom) of cultural un/belonging, traceable back to certain origins or archetypes and simultaneously putting them under erasure. Th e presence of erasure (the slash) is important, since it acknowledges the inadequacy and provisional status of the archetype employed. Th e diffi culty, or even absurdity, of the 'witch' as the Derridean trope for an archetype, model, or construct (in fact of anything that has been taken for granted) starts with the fact that there is nothing but a trace of the.

Didem Madak is one of the representative female voices of modern Turkish Poetry flourished within the tradition of Western influence. With regard to the ideas raised by Hélène Cixous, the paper reveals how Madak's discourse undermines the closed signification system and puts the very language into question. The paper attempts to read Madak's poetry as écriture feminine and problematizes her discourse punctuated with ongoing ruptures, eruptions, protrusions and various types of linguistic creativities that subvert and violate the symbolic order. Cixous' allusive reference to Medusa of Greek mythology is significant in that the monstrous female gorgon's repugnant face with a curse-power is believed to turn the gazers into stone. Medusa's visage is considered to be the sign of female rage as well as male anxiety. Direct allusion to the myth of Medusa has heated up the debate as to the production of " écriture feminine, " which, disclosing maternal realm of discourse, highlights the significance of " what women's writing will do " instead of " what it is. " The paper reveals that Madak has produced a nonlinear discourse of female voice with open-ended rhetorical questions as well as evasive metaphors, adopting a genuine ironic voice that undermines the binaries reinforced so far by mythologies. Thus the paper argues that Didem Madak's poetry makes it possible to hear the undercurrent laughter of Medusa while roaming on the fringes of écriture féminine.

In this paper, I examine the diverse ways in which the maternal is addressed by several feminist thinkers, such as Hélène Cixous and Julia Kristeva. I will firstly outline the ways in which the maternal can bring about other modes of signification. Secondly, I examine how the figuration of the pregnant body evokes new ideas on differentiation. Finally, I will look into the new modalities of subjectivity that the previous findings entail. Taking the feminine (and in particular, the maternal) seriously, might fundamentally change our beliefs about these processes.
