“…According to Place (2022), the qualitative method serves as a gateway to a nuanced comprehension of the intricate web of relationships within the research subject, delving into the subtleties that quantitative analyses may overlook. Furthermore, Toker et al (2019) expand that the interpretivism philosophy embraces the richness of human experiences, shedding light on the multifaceted relationship between the sinister ratio and the premium paid by the companies, which will provide an effective illustration of the technical profitability of the automobile insurance sector of Tunisia. By embracing the unexpected, the inductive approach enhances the authenticity and robustness of findings, mirroring the dynamic and evolving nature of the subject under investigation, as highlighted by So et al (2021).…”

The presented study thoroughly investigates the technical profitability of the Tunisian automobile insurance market using a quantitative research approach with interpretivism as its foundation. The study aims to offer insightful information about the dynamics and profitability of the sector by concentrating on the combined ratio and applying the S/P ratio calculation. The data show that the Tunisian auto insurance industry faces serious obstacles. The S/P ratios continually exceeded 100% from 2019 to 2021, indicating a chronic problem of low technical profitability. Notably, the civil responsibility guarantees considerably added to this imbalance, particularly in the “agricultural utility” and “2-wheel use” categories, with S/P ratios rising to frightening heights, like 937% in 2012. These findings highlight the pressing necessity for pricing modifications and a thorough comprehension of the nuances of the market. The Tunisian auto insurance industry must address underpricing concerns and increase overall profitability viable over the long run. This study offers helpful insights for policymakers and business experts trying to manage these difficult issues and promote a more vibrant insurance market.

“…This readerly suspension of judgement differs from the more conventional approach to reading testimony, in which, as Leona Toker outlines, 'one is challenged to treat the narratives [first] as factography but [then] analyze them through methods applicable to fiction'. 24 With such statements, it is easy to see why historians such as Hilberg have been so suspicious of testimony from a disciplinary perspective. Yet as Levi recognises, this testimonial 'doubleness' is central to reading 'stories' rather than mere historical accounts or reportage.…”

“…The concept of testimonial anxiety should lead to a beneficial performance of reading that opposes the conventional process of reading testimony as 'factography'. 25 Guy Sajer's The Forgotten Soldier (1965) forms an example of such a testimonial encounter: despite intensive wrangling between historians and the author, it is still unclear whether the book represents Sajer's authentic experience on the Eastern Front, embellishes his Wehrmacht escapades or is entirely fictional. In this sense, the anxious reader indirectly responds to Felman's statement that the more we read about testimony, the more it shows us that, 'unwittingly, we do not even know what testimony is and that, in any case, it is not simply what we thought we knew it was'.…”

This article explores the fraught relationship between the terms ‘fiction’, ‘creativity’, ‘literature’ and ‘testimony’ in Holocaust and trauma studies. It argues that the main challenge in reading witness literature is to read testimony as both factual and potentially fictional at the same time when no metatextual corroboration is available. This anxiety of testimony originates in some key texts in Holocaust and trauma studies: I analyse for the first time the repercussions of fictional passages in Primo Levi's If This is a Man (1947), The Truce (1963) and Charlotte Delbo's Auschwitz and After (1985). These sections in no way attenuate the veracity of the overall narratives of survival. Rather than presenting the fictional as fact in bad faith, these books demonstrate the importance of creativity in responding to historical events, particularly when there are no existing historical narratives to present an alternative view. They also emphasise the current critical dichotomy in Holocaust and trauma studies between what Sara Guyer terms the ‘non-representational character’ of literature from ‘the representational character of testimony’. If we attempt to think beyond this binary between fictional literature and books about witnessing, it is possible to reflect on how fiction itself can operate as a form of testimony.

1699 Karlofça antlaşması ile birlikte Osmanlı Devleti’nde başlayan gerileme devri 1789 Fransız Devrimi ile birlikte yerini dağılma devrine bırakmıştır. Bünyesinde farklı birçok etnisiteden millet barındıran Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, özellikle 19.yüzyıl ile birlikte Avrupa’da gelişen Milliyetçilik akımları nedeniyle ciddi toprak kayıpları yaşamıştır. Bu süreçte Osmanlı İmparatorluğu tarafından Avrupa devletlerinin kendisinden ilmî, askerî, ekonomik ve diğer birçok alanda gelişmiş olduğu fark edilmiştir. Toprak kaybının ve gerilemenin önüne geçebilmek ve devleti ayakta tutabilmek için Osmanlı İmparatorluğunda bu dönemde bazı modernleşme hareketleri doğmuştur. Bunlar; Osmanlıcılık (ittihad-ı anasır), İslamcılık, Batıcılık ve Türkçülük’tür. Bütün bu fikir akımlarının ana hedefi imparatorluğun kurtarılmasıdır. Çalışmada özellikle Balkan Savaşlarının olumsuz etkileriyle de doruk noktasına ulaşan Türkçülük akımı ele alınacaktır. Literatür incelendiğinde, Türkçülük akımlarının II. Meşrutiyet döneminden önce başladığı görülmektedir. Bu açıdan çalışma, Türkçülük akımlarının başladığı dönemden alınarak özellikle II. Meşrutiyet dönemi itibariyle daha fazla yoğunlaşacaktır. Bu süreçte Türkçülük fikir akımının seçilmesindeki ana gaye nedir? Hedeflerinden bir tanesi de Turan Ülküsü olan Türkçülük akımı teorisine sadece imparatorluk sınırları içinde değil Turan Coğrafyasının diğer bölgelerinde yaşayan insanların ve mütefekkirlerin de önemli katkıları olmuştur. Çalışmada Osmanlı imparatorluğu sınırları içinde ve dışında yaşayan fikir insanlarının Türkçülük fikrine katkıları ve Türkçülük akımının özellikle 1900-1920 yılları arasında dönemde nasıl başat akım olduğunun ortaya koyulması amaçlanmaktadır.
