Broken Ritualization and the Dynamics of In-betweenness in Matthew Arnold’s “Empedocles on Etna”

Year 2020, Volume: 24 Issue: 2, 861 - 881, 21.06.2020

Abstract

Matthew Arnold’un
“Empedocles on Etna” adlı eseri insan, ritüel, söylence, ve şiirsel yaratı
bağlamlarında ritüel ve aradalık kavramları arasındaki çelişkisel ilişkileri
tarihi bir kişilik olarak da bilinen şair-filozof Empedokles üzerinden
sorgulamaktadır. Arnold Empedokles’i kendi şiirsel yaratısı için kullanırken
efsanevi tarafını öne çıkarmaktadır. Arnold’un şiirsel amacından bağımsız
olarak Empedokles şiirde oldukça ağır basan bir arada kalmışlık durumunu hem
yaşamakta hem de dolaylı yoldan sorgulamaktadır. Bir zamanlar dünya ve
çevresiyle kurduğu ritüel benzeri bağları artık kendi kendine sorgulamaya
başlaması ile öne çıkan kırılgan ve çelişkisel ilişki Callicles adlı şiir
kişisinin dünya ile şiir ve söylence yoluyla kurduğu bağa tezat
oluşturmaktadır. Bu tezat durum genel bir insanlık durumu olarak aradalık
olgusuna derinlemesine bir tartışma zemini hazırlamaktadır, zira bu aradalık
durumu insan yaratıları olarak şiir, söylence, ve ritüel gibi çeşitli anlam
oluşturma mekanizmalarının hem oluşmasını hem de sorgulanmasını sağlamaktadır.
