Name, Last name: Şafak ALTUNSOY Signature : iii ABSTRACT FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN THE POETRIES OF EAVAN BOLAND, KATHLEEN JAMIE AND GÜLTEN AKIN Altunsoy, Şafak Ph.D. Program in English Literature Supervisor: Assist.Prof.Dr. Dürrin Alpakın Martinez-Caro January 2019, 203 pages This study evaluates the facets of female subjectivity through selected poems of Eavan Boland, Kathleen Jamie and Gülten Akın from a comparative perspective. Boland from Irish literature, Jamie from Scottish literature and Akın from Turkish literature poeticize certain images of female subjects who have to adapt into their societies and react against the defining roles in a paradoxical way, which forms the main frame of the study, the dynamism of subjectivity in the poetries of Boland, Jamie and Akın. The study argues how the images of woman subjects undergo a consistent change between the dream-like peaceful atmospheres and nightmarish corporeality. The study starts with the discussion of comparable qualities that the three poets share by referring to the literary and social sources shaping their poetries. It continues with the reasons behind preferring the early and later collections in order to suggest the transitivity between their first and last iv poems. The study analyses the female subjectivity in the poems of Boland, Jamie and Akın in two parts. The first chapter argues how the subject survives against the intrusion of the social by referring to the Kristevan argument of subjectivity within the frames of language and history. The second chapter evaluates the influence of the amative powers subverting the repression of the social into a new fluidity in the subjection process. The study concludes by that three poets’ search for a stable paradigm and their failure in each case in their early and later poems offer for them an idiosyncratic sense of unity through their acknowledgement of a continuous disconnectedness. Keywords: Comparative poetry, subjectivity, fluidity, the social, the amative. v ÖZ EAVAN BOLAND, KATHLEEN JAMIE VE GÜLTEN AKIN ŞİİRİNDE KADIN ÖZNELLİĞİ Altunsoy, Şafak İngiliz Edebiyatı Doktora Programı Tez Danışmanı: Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Dürrin Alpakın Martinez-Caro Ocak 2019, 203 sayfa Bu çalışma, karşılaştırmalı bir bakış açısı benimseyerek Eavan Boland, Kathleen Jamie ve Gülten Akın’dan seçme şiirlerle kadın öznelliğinin yansımalarını inceler. İrlanda edebiyatından Boland, İskoç edebiyatından Jamie ve Türk edebiyatından Akın, hem toplumlarına uyum sağlamaya çalışan hem de çelişkili bir şekilde toplumlarının belirleyici rollerine karşı çıkan kadın öznelerinin belirli imgelerini şiirleştirir. Çalışmanın genel çerçevesini şairlerin poetikalarındaki öznelliğin devingenliği oluşturur. Çalışma, kadın imgesinin kabus gibi bir bedensellikle düşsel huzurlu ortamlar arasında nasıl sürekli bir değişimde olduğunu tartışır. Çalışma, şiirlerini şekillendiren edebi ve toplumsal kaynaklara atıfta bulunarak üç şairin karşılaştırılabilir özellikleriyle başlar. İlk ve son şiirlerindeki geçirgenliği göstermek için erken ve son derlemelerinin neden seçildiğiyle devam eder. Çalışma şiirleri iki kısımda inceler. İlk kısım, dil ve tarih çerçevesinde Kristeva’nın öznellik tartışmasına atıfta bulunarak öznenin vi toplumsal olanın müdahalesi karşısında nasıl hayatta kaldığını tartışır. İkinci kısım, tabiiyet sürecinde toplumsal olanın baskılamasını yeni bir akışkanlığa çeviren sevginin etkisini değerlendirir. Çalışma sonuç olarak, şairlerin ilk ve son şiirlerindeki sabit bir paradigma arayışları ve her seferinde yaşadıkları yenilgi neticesinde sürekli bir bağlantısızlığı kabul etmeleriyle kendilerine has bir birlik hissini açığa çıkarır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Karşılaştırmalı şiir, öznellik, akışkanlık, toplumsal, sevgisel. vii To the silenced women in Turkey viii
