THE SUBLIME AND THE CREATION OF IDENTITY IN MINOR LITERATURE IN A COMPARISON OF “THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA” AND “THE PREY”

Year 2017, Volume: 23 Issue: 90, 215 - 229, 15.05.2017

Abstract

This paper, which suggests a twofold approach, will first examine the fish-fisherman-sea

relationship with reference to Kant’s two different types of sublime, namely the ‘Mathematical

Sublime’ and the ‘Dynamic Sublime’, in two works with similar subjects, written by two

eminent twentieth century authors: Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and Bilge

Karasu’s The Prey. This paper also aims to serve as an account of Kant’s sublime using

comparative literary examples as a way to make what Kant has to say more explicit. In the

second part, the paper will argue that, through analysis of the two works, their constructions

of identity, and the workings of the Sublime in major and minor literature, The Prey rightly

belongs to minor literature. However, it should be indicated that a detailed comparison of the

two pieces in terms of their literary characteristics is the subject matter of another essay and beyond the scope of the interests of the discussion here. In other words, in the second part of

this essay, it is only attempted to make a brief comparative analysis of the sublime as it relates

to the creation of identity in minor literature. It is also worth emphasizing that this is just an

alternative way of exploring the sublime.
