DEBORDIAN PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY AND IDENTITY IN EŞIKTE BY MINE BAY

Abstract

Certainly, here is a 100-word summary of the text: This study analyzes the role of psychogeography in Mine Bay's novel "Eşikte," focusing on how the protagonist, Adam, navigates the city of Adam. Drawing on Guy Debord's concept of dérive, the essay examines how Adam's unplanned wanderings through the city mirror his internal exploration. The familiar urban landscape transforms into a labyrinth, reflecting Adam's confusion and uncertainty. By interacting with the city's psychogeographical elements, such as hidden narratives and fixed symbols, Adam rediscovers the hidden layers of the urban landscape and gains a deeper understanding of himself. The essay argues that "Eşikte" utilizes psychogeography to explore the intricate relationship between the self and the city, revealing how the exploration of place can illuminate the complexities of human identity.
