Sanatın Yaratılma Sürecinde Kadının İşlevi
The Function of Women in the Creation Process of Art

Summary/Abstract: In novels and stories where the main character is a writer / poet man, we see that female characters are constructed in a very functional way in the creation process of the work of art. In Mai and Siyah of Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil, one of the most competent first examples of the Turkish novel, meeting with Lamia, together with being a famous poet and having a printing house is one of three dreams of Ahmet Cemil. As Tanpınar mentioned, Lamia is not a simple love, but a symbol of the lifestyle and welfare level that Ahmet Cemil wants to achieve (all of which depends on being a good poet). While Tanpınar depicts Nuran’s role played in the life of the academician-poet Mumtaz in his novel Huzur, it seems that he wants to make Ahmet Cemil’s dream to be real to some extent. In Yakup Kadri's “Rahmet” story, the lead person is a character who is a male writer. Rejecting the world of the woman he loves and moving away from her play a very important role for this character to adopt a literary understanding that tells about the suffering of the society and the nation. In the story of Sabahattin Ali's “Kurtarılamayan Şaheser”, we see that the process of creating an ideal and original work is directed and even finalized by a female character step by step. In the “Viyolensel” story of the same writer, we see that a musician, although not a poet and writer, took refuge in his art throughout his life. In Peyami Safa's Novel Bir Tereddüdün Romanı, the "hesitation" caused by being between Mualla and Vildan shapes the life and art of the writer person. In this kind of works, we see that the works are always written from a male-dominated perspective sometimes as a source of inspiration and sometimes as a figure that must be overcome. In my opinion, it will be important to look at the works whose author and/or character is a female person. One of the most typical works in terms of our topic is Halide Edip's novel Son Eseri, which focuses on the relationship between art and women and presents different perspectives in terms of the relationship between literature and painting art.
