BAKHTINIAN ACT OF “DECROWNING” IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

Year 2018, Volume: 16 Issue: 3, 501 - 518, 30.09.2018

Abstract

Virginia
Woolf’un
Deniz Feneri
adlı romanındaki baba figürü güçlü ve otoriter olarak gözükmesine rağmen
başkalarının destek ve yardımına muhtaç birisidir. Her alanda kesinlik ve
istikrar gibi düşüncelere bağlı olan Bay Ramsay kadınların bağımsızlıklarını
kabul etmemektedir. Fakat Bay Ramsay, Bayan Ramsay, Lily ve anlatıcı tarafından
sürekli küçümsenmektedir. Bay Ramsay’ın otoritesi ile alay edilmektedir. Bu
anlamda, roman, Mikhail Bakhtin’in eserlerindeki en önemli yeri tutan
“karnaval” esnasında yer alan “tahttan indirme” olgusu açısından incelenmeye
uygundur. Bakhtin’in eserlerindeki tahttan indirme, karnaval sırasında sembolik
bir hükümdarın tahttan indirilip tacının alınmasıdır. Tahttan indirme olayı her
şeyin her zaman değişmek durumunda olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, Bay
Ramsay’ın tahttan indirilmesi, yani otoritesinin kabul edilmemesi, Woolf’un
kadınların durumunu değiştirmek istediğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada,
Woolf’un
Deniz Feneri romanı, baba
figürünün çoğu zaman otoriter bir erkek figürü olarak kabul edilmediği bir
ortam olarak incelenmektedir. Bay Ramsay’ın güçsüzleştirilmesi, Bakhtin’in
eserlerindeki karnaval zamanındaki tacın alınması olayına benzetilmektedir.
