Name, Last name : Hilal Kaya Signature : iii ABSTRACT A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DISCONTENT WITH MODERNITY AND MODERNIZATION IN THE NOVELS OF A. L. HUXLEY AND A. H. TANPINAR KAYA, Hilal Ph.D., English Literature Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Elif ÖZTABAK-AVCI December 2014, 346 pages The aim of this dissertation is to explore Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s philosophical and fictional engagement with Aldous Leonard Huxley in relation to the issues of modernity and modernization. Being attentive to the cultural specificities informing the work of each writer, this project has set out to find to what extent Tanpınar adopts, revises and/or contests Huxley’s attitude towards modernity and modernization in his novels. This dissertation argues that Huxley and Tanpınar make a criticism of the understanding of the modern which is based on the liberal narrative of modernity by writing satirical novels of ideas. Some theoretical concepts developed later by the Frankfurt School thinkers like Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse will be used as a theoretical framework to explore better Huxley’s problematization of modernity. The ideas of Henri Bergson, Walter Benjamin, Sufism and Multiple Modernities will also be used as a theoretical framework to discuss Tanpınar’s approach to modernity. This study aims to contribute not only to the scholarship on Tanpınar’s fiction but also to the critical studies on Huxley, whose works of fiction have rarely been examined from an international perspective. With this end in view A. L. Huxley’s Point Counter Point (1928) and Brave New World (1932) and A. H. Tanpınar’s A Mind at Peace (1949) and The Time Regulation Institute (1961) will be studied in a comparative manner. Key Words: A.L. Huxley, A.H. Tanpınar, The Frankfurt School, Multiple Modernities. iv ÖZ A. L. HUXLEY VE A. H. TANPINAR’IN ROMANLARINDA MODERNİTE VE MODERNLEŞME MEMNUNİYETSİZLİĞİ ÜZERİNE KARŞILAŞTIRMALI BİR ÇALIŞMA KAYA, Hilal Doktora, İngiliz Edebiyatı Tez Yöneticisi: Yard. Doç. Dr. Elif ÖZTABAK-AVCI Aralık 2014, 346 sayfa Bu tezin amacı modernite ve modernleşme konularına ilişkin olarak Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’ın Aldous Leonard Huxley ile olan felsefi ve kurgusal diyaloğunu incelemektir. Yazarların metinlerindeki kültürel farklılıkları göz önünde bulunduran bu çalışma, Huxley’nin romanlarında modernite ve modernleşme konularına ilişkin tavrını, Tanpınar’ın kendi romanlarında ne ölçüde benimsediğini, gözden geçirdiğini ve/veya bu tavırla ne kadar çatıştığını bulmak amacıyla yola çıkmıştır. Bu tez Huxley ve Tanpınar’ın satirik fikir romanları yazarak, liberal modernite söylemine dayanan modern anlayışını eleştirdiklerini iddia etmektedir. Adorno, Horkheimer ve Marcuse gibi Frankfurt Okulu teorisyenleri tarafından sonradan geliştirilen bazı kuramlar, bu çalışma tarafından Huxley’nin modernite sorunsallaştırmasının daha iyi incelenmesi amacıyla kuramsal çerçeve olarak kullanılacaktır. Yine, Henri Bergson, Walter Benjamin, Tasavvuf ve Çoklu Moderniteler tarafından geliştirilen fikirler, Tanpınar’ın modernite yaklaşımını tartışmak için teorik çerçeve olarak kullanılacaktır. Ayrıca bu çalışma hem Tanpınar’ın edebi metinleri üzerine yazılmış olan eleştirel literatüre hem de edebi metinleri nadiren uluslararası bir perspektiften değerlendirilen Huxley araştırmalarına katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, A.L. Huxley’nin Point Counter Point (1928) ile Brave New World (1932) ve A. H. Tanpınar’ın Huzur (1949) ile Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü (1961) adlı romanları mukayeseli bir şekilde çalışılacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: A.L. Huxley, A.H. Tanpınar, Frankfurt Okulu, Çoklu Moderniteler. v To my dear husband and daughter, Murat Utku Kaya and İda Kaya vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Assist.

  • A Utopian Journey in Turkish: from Non-Translation to Retranslation Ceyda Elgül Boğaziçi University 2011
    A UTOPIAN JOURNEY IN TURKISH: FROM NON-TRANSLATION TO RETRANSLATION CEYDA ELGÜL BOĞAZİÇİ UNIVERSITY 2011 A UTOPIAN JOURNEY IN TURKISH: FROM NON-TRANSLATION TO RETRANSLATION Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation by Ceyda Elgül Boğaziçi University 2011 Thesis Abstract Ceyda Elgül, “A Utopian Journey in Turkish: From Non-Translation to Retranslation” This study explores the role of translation in the evolution of new contexts for foreign works. It classifies non-translation, initial translation and retranslation as the three existential forms in which translation appears and proposes that each of these forms attributes the foreign work a different translational context. Benefiting from the favorable grounds provided by the journey of Thomas More’s Utopia in the Turkish literary system, this diachronic study embraces the pre- and post-translation periods synchronously with the period in which the translation first appeared.The study firstly investigates Utopia in the Turkish literary system as a work that appeared in the form of non-translation in the period between the Tanzimat and 1964 and questions what type of a culture repertoire this non-translation contributed to. Then, it focuses on the initial translation and seeks a position for this first translation in the context of the 1960s, referring to the social dynamics of the period in which the translation first appeared after a long phase of resistance. Here, the study touches on the agency factor and explores the historical significance of the first translation in relation to the external factors that concern the agents of the translation.

  • Progress, Elitism and Ideology in Point Counter Point As a Novel of Ideas
    Progress, Elitism and Ideology in Point Counter Point as a Novel of Ideas Peter Grosvenor Throughout Huxley’s forty-year career as a novelist there was always an identifiable connection between the ideas he wanted to convey and the literary medium and technique through which he sought to convey them. As his ideas metamorphosed so did his approach to writing. As a result, Huxley is a moving target for those who would categorize his work, either in intellectual or stylistic terms. The challenge confronting students of Huxley is to place any given Huxley work in the context of the author’s evolving worldview at the time. After Brave New World (1932), Point Counter Point (1928) is undoubtedly Huxley’s most widely read and most controversial novel. There is no consensus among critics concerning what the novel tells us about the nature of Huxley’s thoughts as the first decade of the interwar period drew to a close. Neither is there a consensus about its literary merit. The work nonetheless provides an important freeze-frame of a pivotal moment in Huxley’s development as a social and political thinker, and as an experimenter in literary form. The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to examine the ideas contained in Point Counter Point, their mode of expression, and their place in the context of Huxley’s earlier and later work. Ultimately, what kind of novel one judges Point Counter Point to be depends very much upon whom one takes to be its central character. If it is Philip Quarles, the novelist within the novel, the work becomes the reductio ad absurdum of the novel of ideas, in 2 which the central preoccupation is the genre itself—a disengaged, even solipsistic, exercise, and an essentially derivative one at that—having been preempted by André Gide in Les Faux Monnayeurs in 1925.

G. Wells during a debate about the nature of the novel that helps to establish the canon of modern fiction. Whereas the canonical modernists – Conrad, Ford, Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence – follow James in devel- oping narrative and linguistic innovations to accommodate a newly scrupu- lous attention to epistemology and psychology, the seven writers surveyed here generally spurn stream of consciousness, often appear indifferent to the exploration of the psyche, and sometimes follow Wells in renouncing Jamesian formal unity. Thus E. M. Forster breaks with modernist practice in relying on a prominent, moralizing narrator, Wyndham Lewis attacks his contemporaries’ obsession with interiority, and Wells and Aldous Huxley embrace a didacticism at odds with reigning protocols. Ronald Firbank, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and Henry Green follow James in their attention to style, but they depart from modernist orthodoxy in representing surfaces rather than depths. In voice, structure, style, and characterization, however, a rebellious spirit in all these novelists challenges both inherited and emergent ideas of what a novel is and how a novel’s prose can read.

  • Pledging Peace in Aldous Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza
    109 Pledging Peace in Aldous Huxley’s Eyeless in Gaza Charles Andrews Whitworth University Nineteen thirty-six was a pivotal year for Aldous Huxley. Much of his en- ergy prior to this year was spent writing the satirical novels upon which his reputation still rests, including Crome Yellow (1921), Point Counter Point (1928), and Brave New World (1932). Huxley produced many of his nearly fifty books under contractual obligations to write two or even three books per year, a pace that seemed to cause him little concern. Yet Eyeless in Gaza, his under-read masterpiece, took four years to complete. Begun in 1932, published in 1936, Eyeless is in most ways typical of Huxley’s fiction—eru- dite, philosophical, and semi-autobiographical. His title alludes to Milton’s Samson Agonistes, and his characters each take competing positions on the issues most important to Huxley and his cohort of artists and intellectuals: human relations, mystical spirituality, and radical politics. Eyeless in Gaza also shows off some of Huxley’s most formally adventurous writing, par- ticularly with regard to narrative chronology. Each of the novel’s fifty-four chapters is set on a specific day between November 6, 1902 and February 23, 1935. Lacking any readily discernible regular pattern, the chapters jump back and forth within this thirty-three year range. The earliest dates show our main character Anthony Beavis as a young boy at his mother’s funeral, by the 1910s we see him at Oxford, by the 1920s Anthony is a struggling writer, and by the 1930s he is in a love affair with Helen, is briefly involved in a Mexican revolution, and ultimately converts to pacifism.
