KARNAVALİZM, SOKRATİK DİYALOG, MENİPPUSÇU HİCİV VE EREWHON

Edebiyat ve kültürel çalışmalar ele alındığında, edebi türlerin arasındaki sınırların bulanıklaştığı ve bunların giderek birbirine yaklaştığı, dahası kimi durumlarda birbirine geçtiği görülür. Bu durumun izlerini Antik döneme kadar sürmek olasıdır. Geride bıraktığımız yüzyılın en önemli edebiyat kuramcılarından biri olarak kabul edilen Mikhail Bakhtin, roman türünün köklerini de antikiteye dayandırarak türün ortaya çıkmasında ve gelişmesinde karnavalın, Sokratik diyalogların ve en önemlisi de Menippusçu hicvin önemine değinir. Bu çalışmada, İngiliz yazar Samuel Butler’ın Erewhon adlı hiciv romanında Menippusçu hicvin izleri aranacaktır.

CARNIVALISM, SOCRATIC DIALOGUE, MENIPPEAN SATIRE AND EREWHON

When literary and cultural studies are considered, it would be seen that the lines separating the genres have gradually blurred, leading them to get closer to each other and even intermingling. It is possible to trace this situation back to the antiquity. One of the most prominent literary theorists of the pervious century, Mikhail Bakhtin dates the roots of the novel back to the antiquity and stresses the importance of carnival, Socratic dialogue and particularly Menippean Satire in the emergence and the development of the genre. This study aims at exploring Menippean satire with specific reference to English author Samuel Butler’s satirical novel, Erewhon.
