THE PERCEPTION OF SPACE IN ATTİLÂ İLHAN'S POEMS IN THE BOOK I HAVE TO YOU
Abstract
Space-human relationship is studied in a wide range of fields from architecture to philosophy, from psychology to phenomenology. The fact that space is the object of study in many areas the space has a multi-dimensional structure. The phenomenon of space, which gains importance in the world of the modern individual, has to be evaluated not only with its physical boundaries but also with its cultural, class, political and spiritual functions. One of the fields where such an evaluation can be made is literature. In the literary text, the multi-dimensional structure of the space can be observed and observations can be made regarding the space-human relationship. It is possible to explore through literature how the space acquires new meanings with perception, how it can be reinterpreted and can be an indicator of some emotions, thoughts and mental states. The use of functional space in Turkish literature started with modernization. The space has ceased to be just a place and its one-dimensional structure, it has turned into a perceptual space that can change within the framework of individual sensation, understanding and mental state. In this study, the spatial elements used in Attilâ Ilhan's poems collected in the book I Have to You were examined in the context of perceptual space, and evaluations were made about the importance of the space-human relationship in the poet's poetic approach. This analysis, which was made under four headings, was made in parallel with the thematic classification in the poet's book. Each chapter in the book was evaluated within itself, and the space element was examined in relation to the theme of the chapter.
