Tunahan Çakmakçı is a Turkish scholar interested in researching the intersections of affect and prosody and tracing the history of emotions through 18th- and 19th-century historical poetics. His undergraduate thesis inquired into the nature of lyric intimacy through an examination of Victorian lyric theories by noticing metaphor’s role in adjusting the mode of intimacy as rather sensual or intellectual. Tunahan’s graduate project expands on the historicization of affect and investigations of poetic form as an interpersonal outlet.
