Archaicstructuresas Imaginative Counter-Discourse

Year 2011, Volume: 24 Issue: 1, 1 - 12, 01.01.2011

Abstract

Chuck Palahniuk'in Çarpışma Partisi olarak Türkçe'ye çevrilmiş olan Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey adlı romanındaki postmodern uslupla mitolojik olarak anlatılmış olan hikayelerde pikaresk eksantrik kahraman Buster Rant Casey baş rolde yer almaktadır. Rant, fantastik özellikleri açısından Patrick Süskind'in Koku başlıklı romanındaki anti­ kahraman Jean-Baptiste Grenouille'i çarpıcı bir şekilde yansıtmaktadır. "Kültürel Ekoloji Olarak Edebiyat" kuramının çerçevesi içerisinde transgresif birkarakterolanRant,arkaikyapılanokuyucununzihnineçağırması itibarıyla aydınlanmanın mitik diyalektiğinin "etten kemikten" bir biçimi olarak karşımıza çıkmakta. Rant'ın "sağlıklı" Amerikan toplumuna tecavüzederekgirmesi,Euripides'inBakhalar'ındaDionysos'unPentheus'a ait Tebai kentine gelişini hatırlatır. Bu makale, Rant ve Jean-Baptiste Grenouille'in biyografilerini karşılaştırarak arkaik ve rasyonalite öncesi mitlerin Hubert Zapf'ın üçlü işlev modelindeki kurmaca karşıt söylemi nasıl yansıttığını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Abstract

InChuckPalahniuk'sRant:AnOralBiographyofBıısterCasey,a picaresque eccentric Buster "Rant" Casey appears in the spotlight in the "stories" mythologically told in a postmodern manner.  Rant reminds of Patrick Süskind's antihero, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille flamboyantly, attributable to his fantastic features. Within the scope of "literature as cultural ecology," transgressive Rant becomes the flesh and blood form of "mythical" dialectics of enlightenment, which is reinforced through his connoting archaic structures. His intrusion to the "healthy" American society appears as a reminiscent of Dionysus' entrance to Pentheus' city, Theben, in Euripides' The Bacchae. Comparing the biographies of Rant and Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, this article attempts to demonstrate how the archaic and prerational "mythemes" in both novels become the very representation of the imaginative counter-discourse in Hubert Zapf's triadic functionmodel.
