RASİM ÖZDENÖREN’İN MODERNİZM ELEŞTİRİSİ: GÜL GETİŞTİREN ADAM
RASIM OZDENOREN'S CRITIQUE OF MODERNISM: THE MAN WHO BRED ROSES

Summary/Abstract: Modernism, which showed its effect with an increasing speed with the Enlightenment, was believed to be an obstacle to the development of free people, religious pressure, war, famine, etc. It is an innovative intellectual movement that emerged with the desire to create universal and free people with a new consciousness against such factors. At the same time, it is a concept that expresses the modern lifestyle, cultural change, secularization, and transforming tradition. Even though she acts with the basic principle of taking a critical view of all kinds of authority by acting under the guidance of the human mind, her self-interest makes her a destructive and terrifying authority. Individual, city, tradition, religion and economy are affected by this destructiveness. Özdenören's novel, Gül Yetiştiren Adam, is a work that draws attention to the chronic decay of modernism. In the work, two different worlds and human types that internalize modernism and rebel against it are explained. The idea that different worlds and people will be dealt with in the context of modernism, and the belief that Özdenören will partially give her point of view to modernism constitute the basis of this study.
