![]() Pela sua ficção apresentaremos questões que permeiam seu cotidiano e que são representadas no seu livro. Médico psiquiatra, político e escritor, publica pela primeira vez o romance em 1942. Resumo: Para este texto pretendemos abordar alguns aspectos contidos em uma das obras literárias de Dyonélio Machado, O Louco do Cati. The novels under examination here, A Mind at Peace by Tanpınar (1949, 2008 English translation), The Black Book by Pamuk (1990, 1994 2006 English translation) and Istanbul Istanbul by Sönmez (2015, 2016 English translation) depict the individual’s search for the self at a specific historical moment of modern Turkey, problematizing the past, present, and future of the nation-state. In this paper, I focus on three novels by three internationally acclaimed authors from Turkey, namely Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Orhan Pamuk and Burhan Sönmez, so as to examine the spatial representation of Istanbul at the intersection of national and world literature. In this paper, I contend that Istanbul, for several authors from Turkey, emerges as an important novelistic element and character so much so that it, on the one hand, enables them to discuss the possibilities and limits of the national literature and on the other hand becomes a venue for recognition as part of world literary studies. If Istanbul serves as the main ground for mapping out the anxieties about the national culture, it also provides the opportunity to reach beyond the national boundaries with its multi-layered and cosmopolitan past. ![]() When we consider Turkish literary history, construction of a national literary tradition reveals a close engagement with the West and Western modernity, often resulting in epistemological and ontological questions about the self searching for their place in the world. ![]() As the cultural capital of both the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey, Istanbul has assumed a central role in the literary imagination of the cultural legacy of the imperial past and the modern nation-state. ![]()
