Dans cette thèse, on soutient qu’au cours de ces décennies, il s’est produit une recrudescence de la visibilité ainsi que de l’influence de l’activité littéraire sur le monde culturel et la société turque. Mon travail vise également à déterminer les relations complexes qui peuvent exister entre la culture littéraire et la politique. Il convient de souligner que l'identité politique ayant été adoptée par les acteurs littéraires, était généralement une identité dissidente envers le système politique et social de son époque. j'ai tenté d’analyser le climat intellectuel par le biais de la littérature. De plus, ma réflexion se pose sur les raisons de l’importance du rôle des personnalités littéraires comme intellectuels dans la société turque de 1960 à 1980. Littérature, écrivains, intellectuel, culturel, politique Résumé en anglais This dissertation examines the increasing visibility of literary activities as a part of the other cultural activities between 1960 and 1980. During these two decades, there was an increasing influence of literary activities, literary production, and literary world throughout the larger parts of the Turkish society. This work also assesses the intricate relations between literary culture and politics. It will be emphasized that the political identity which was adopted by the literary actors was generally one critical of the existing political and social system. The intellectual climate will be examined via literature. I argue that men of letters, literary actors played important roles with academics and journalists through their public, intellectual identity in the social life from 1960 to the end of the 1970s. Literature, writers, intellectual, cultural, politics Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Atatürk İlke ve İnkılap Tarihi Enstitüsü’nde Doktora derecesi için Hakkı Başgüney tarafından …. da teslim edilen tezin özeti Başlık: Türkiye’de 1960 ile 1980 Yılları Arasında Yazınsal Üretim, Akımlar ve Politika Bu çalışma 1960 ile 1980 yılları arasında kültürel etkinliklerin bir parçası olarak tarif edilen dönemin yazınsal faaliyetlerinin artan görünürlüğünü ortaya koymayı hedefliyor. Bu çalışmada bu iki on yıl boyunca yazınsal etkinliklerin, yazınsal üretimin, yazınsal dünyanın etkisinin Türkiye toplumunun geniş kesimlerine ulaştığı öne sürülecektir. Bu süreç kendi içinde çeşitli akımları, eğilimleri de içeren daha etkin bir yazınsal dünyanın, akımların, kamuoyunun, pazarın şekillenmesi, yeniden kuruluşu ve genişlemesi olarak da görülebilir. Çalışma öte yandan bu dönemde yazınsal kültür ve politik pozisyonlar arasında da güçlü ve karmaşık bir ilişki olduğunu varsayıyor. Dönemin yazınsal etkinlikleri incelenerek de dönemin politik ve sosyal tarihine dair önemli bulgulara ulaşılabileceği, çünkü yazınsal etkinliklerin dönemin politik kültürüne dair oluşturucu, yansıtıcı ve genel fikir verici bir işlev kazandığı düşünülmektedir. Dönemin yazınsal aktörleri tarafından benimsenen politik kimliklerin varolmakta olan politik ve sosyal sisteme karşı muhallif ve eleştirel bir içeriğe sahip olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Ülkede hakim olan dönemin kamusal entelektüel kimliğinin de edebiyat üzerinden incelenebileceği düşünülmektedir. 1960’dan 1970’lerin sonuna dek edebiyatçıların gazetecilerle ve akademisyenlerle beraber ülkelerinin sosyal hayatında düşünsel ve kamusal kimlikleri aracılığıyla önemli roller oynadıkları iddia edilmektedir.

I owe very special thanks for their help, guidance, patience, and unmentionably great contributions. There is no doubt that without their help, it would be impossible for me to achieve this degree. My sejour in France, at Strasbourg was very contributive, convivial and rich experience for my studies. I am very thankful to Paul Dumont for this opportunity. He shared with me his own literary archive which constitutes the core of this study. I am also thankful to Ahmet Kuyaş, whose interventions, especially in the field of Turkish cultural history made this thesis more complete than its first copy. I am also grateful to Sanmim Akgönül, Didier Franfort and Arzu Öztürkmen for their advises and
