Abstract

The metaphorical structure gives the text the atmosphere of a dream. This becomes clearer with the analysis of certain stages of the process of understanding: (1) The work of “condensation” is the first of these. The use of the symbols (2) equals the “displacement” work. The system has to do with (3) the “consideration of representation”. The last part, so the context is like explaining the text with things that do not belong to the text. Especially the “interpretation” goes into the scope of (4) “secondary revision”. In this regard, Freud’s “dream system” is very appropriate for the metaphorical explanation. Undoubtedly, the analysis of the process with the help of Quintilian, Davidson, Chomsky and Jakobson will be much more stable. With examples of Sabahattin Ali, who
could transform this process into a literary attitude, we will reinforce the theoretical information.

Freud’un “Rüya İşi” Kapsamındaki Metaforik İdrak Sürecinin Quintilian, Davidson, Chomsky ve Jakobson ile Bağlantılı Olarak Mukayesesi

Abstract

Metaforik yapının metne bir rüya havası katması idrak
sürecindeki belli aşamaların tetkiki ile sarahat kazanır: (1) sıkıştırma/
yoğunlaştırma işi (Verdichtungsarbeit) bunlardan ilkidir. Sembollerin kullanımı
ise (2) yer değiştirme işi’ne (Verschiebungsarbeit) karşılık gelir. Sistem ise
(3) tasavvur olunabilirliğin değerlendirilmesi/ dikkate alınması (Rücksicht auf
Darstellbarbeit) ile alakalıdır. Son kısım ise yani “bağlam”; bilhassa metni,
metne ait olmayanlarla izah gibidir. Özellikle “yorum” (4) ikincil işlemler
(secundäre Bearbeitung) kapsamına girer. Freud’un “rüya sistem”i bu bakımdan
metaforik izaha gayet uygundur. Şüphesiz Quintilian, Davidson, Chomsky ve
Jakobson yardımı ile sürecin analizi çok daha sağlam olacaktır. Bu idrak sürecini
edebi tavra dönüştürebilmiş Sabahattin Ali’den misaller ile de nazari bilgiler
pekiştirilecektir.
