Abstract

John Crowe Ransom, Mikhail Bakhtin and Roland Barthes are
all idiosyncratic and revolutionary scholars in terms of their ideas as regards
to the place of the author. Understanding their viewpoints and ideas concerning
the importance of the author in the creation of textual meaning is highly
significant to understand their influence over the literary world. Owing to the
fact that all these scholars rejected some traditional views and introduced
some new ideas to the thinking world, this study aims at reviewing their ideas
and key points. In this respect, Ransom's New Criticism as a reaction to
biographical and traditional historicism, Bakhtin's theory of the novel and
Barthes' famous work ‘The Death Of The Author’ constitute the core discussion
of this study.

Ransom, Bakhtin ve Barthes'ın Bakış Açılarından Metinsel Anlamın Oluşumunda Yazarın Önemi

Abstract

John Crowe Ransom, Mikhail Bakhtin ve Roland Barthes
yazarın ve metnin yeri ile ilgili fikirleri bakımından kendine özgü ve
yenilikçi düşünürlerdir. Bu nedenle, metinsel anlamın yaratılmasında yazarın
önemi ile ilgili bakış açılarını ve fikirlerini anlamak, bu düşünürlerin edebi
dünya üzerindeki etkilerini anlamak için oldukça önemlidir. Bu üç düşünürün
bazı geleneksel görüşleri reddettiği ve düşünce dünyasına yeni fikirler
getirdiği gerçeğinden hareketle, bu çalışma onların fikirlerini ve
düşüncelerine ait kilit noktaları gözden geçirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda,
Ransom'un biyografik ve geleneksel tarihselciliğe bir tepki olarak ortaya
koyduğu Yeni Eleştiri, Bakhtin'in Roman Teorisi ve Barthes'in ünlü eseri
‘Yazarın Ölümü’ bu çalışmanın temel tartışmasını oluşturmaktadır.
