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.

Abstract
Bu çalışma, Mine Bay'ın Eşikte romanında psikocoğrafyanın rolünü, kahraman Adam'ın yaşadığı kenti nasıl dolaştığını merkeze alarak analiz eder. Guy Debord'un "Dérive" kavramından hareketle, deneme, Adam'ın şehir içindeki plansız dolaşmalarının içsel keşfini nasıl yansıttığını inceler. Tanıdık kentsel peyzaj, Adam'ın kafa karışıklığını ve belirsizliğini yansıtan bir labirente dönüşür. Kentin gizli anlatılar, sabit semboller ve sürekli akışlar gibi psikocoğrafik unsurlarıyla -etkileşim kurarak, Adam kentsel manzarasının gizli katmanlarını yeniden keşfeder ve kendisini daha derinlemesine anlar. Deneme, Eşikte’nin, kent ve benlik arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi keşfetmek için psikocoğrafyayı kullandığını savunarak, mekânın keşfinin insan kimliğinin karmaşıklıklarını nasıl aydınlattığını ortaya koyar.
