KEMAL BİLBAŞAR’IN DENİZİN ÇAĞIRIŞI ROMANINI MEKÂNIN DÖNÜŞTÜRÜCÜ ETKİSİ BAĞLAMINDA OKUMAK
READING KEMAL BILBASAR’S NOVEL THE CALL OF THE SEA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TRANSFORMATIVE EFFECT OF SPACE

Summary/Abstract: Space, which has become a multidisciplinary concept, has an interpretive richness that can be evaluated from different perspectives. Because, over time, different meanings are attributed to the space built to meet the most basic needs of people such as shelter and positioning. Especially in fictional texts, space is considered as a concept that has a perceptual dimension apart from its physical structure. It creates the perceptual dimension of the space and its reciprocal relationship with the human being. Therefore, in space studies, it is necessary to consider the human being as a fundamental element and not to evaluate the space independently from the person and the person from the place. In addition to its various functions, the space also has the feature of changing, transforming and managing people’s lives. In this study, Kemal Bilbaşar’s work called The Call of the Sea, written in 1941, will be examined in the context of the transformative effect of space. In this sense, spaces will be evaluated perceptually, not physically. Because the transformative feature of the space requires looking at it perceptually. Space performs its transforming function on both human and human’s basic existence areas. In the novel, it is told that a teacher who Works in a small and undeveloped town for five years changes place as a result of mental depressions, but cannot get rid of psychological traumas and reach a healty life in the places he goes. The author reflects the relationships and conflicts that a teacher has experienced with different places by making use of the descriptions of places. Therefore, this book, which covers space to a large extent, will be examined in the context of the transformative effect of space.
