Yeni Dergi (Turkish : The New Magazine) was a monthly cultural magazine published in Istanbul, Turkey, between 1964 and 1975. The magazine featured both translations and original texts from different fields.
Yeni Dergi was first published in October 1964. [1] Its publisher was De Publications, which was owned by Memet Fuat, a Turkish author, and the stated aim of the magazine was to enrich the knowledge base of the Turkish intellectuals. [1] [2] Memet Fuat was also the editor-in-chief of the magazine, which mostly featured translations of modernist literary work and contemporary critical theory from Western sources. [3] [4] [5] The latter group of texts were about philosophy, aesthetics, politics, and psychology. [1] The most frequent topics covered were existentialism and Marxist criticism. [1] [6] The magazine also published thematic issues, two of which were concerned with the work of Herbert Marcuse and Prague Spring. [5] From 1969, Yeni Dergi contained fewer translated texts, and focused on original Turkish works. [1] One of its leading contributors was Tomris Uyar. [7] Conservative poet Cahit Zarifoğlu published articles in the magazine until 1971. [8]
Yeni Dergi folded in 1975 after publishing a total of one hundred twenty-eight issue. [9]
