Mysticism in Aldoux Huxley’s Time Must Have a Stop and Peyami Safa’s Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu

Year 2018, Issue: 41, 71 - 82, 30.06.2018

Abstract

Heavy dependence on rational thinking in the last two centuries cultivated an opposition which had a tendency to search for a spiritual alternative. Mysticism that has been experienced before has proved itself as one of these alternatives and it has become an inseparable part of literature. Such authors like Aldoux Huxley in England and Peyami Safa in Turkey creatively used their imagination to con vey mystic experiences to their readers. These mystic experiences in their works attempt to compensate for the spirituality that has been lost in the perennial life struggles generated by the modernity. This article aims to bring Huxley’s novel Time Must Have a Stop and Safa’s novel Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu in order to analyse the ubiquitous sense of mysticism projected through the conscious loss of subjectivity and time.

Aldoux Huxley’in Time Must Have a Stop ve Peyami Safa’nın Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu Romanlarında Mistisim

Year 2018, Issue: 41, 71 - 82, 30.06.2018

Abstract

Son iki yüzyılda güç kazanan rasyonel düşünceye karşı artan ilgi manevi bir arayış eğilimine olan bir karşı ilginin oluşmasına neden olmuştur. Bu arayışın neticesi olarak zaten var olan mistisizm bir çözüm olarak görülmüş, edebiyatın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. İngiltere’de Aldoux Huxley ve Türkiye’de Peyami Safa gibi yazarlar okuyucularına mistik olayları anlatmak için hayal güçlerini yaratıcı bir şekilde kullanmışlardır. Yazılarındaki mistik olaylar, modernliğin oluşturduğu hayat mücadeleleri sırasında kaybolan maneviyatı telafi etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu makale, öznellik ve zaman kavramlarının bilinçli bir şekilde kaybedilmesi ile oluşan mistisizme dair Huxley’in Time Must Have a Stop ve Safa’nın Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu romanlarını karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemiştir.
