Özet
Bu çalışmada, Louis-Ferdinand Celine'in Gecenin Sonuna Yolculuk adlı eserindeki anti-kahramanın çıkmazı; yazarın bu çıkmazı aşmak ve anti-kahramanını kurtarmak için bulduğu yol olan doppelganger'in (kotlü ikiz) rolü incelenmektedir. İki ana bolümden oluşan bu çalışmanın ilk bölümünde oncelikle Celine'in dili nasıl kullandığına vurgu yapılmaktadır. Celine bu eserinde ozellikle Fransızca'nın sınırlarını zorlayarak, alışılmış dil kalıplarını kırıp sokağın dilini edebiyatın merkezine taşımaya çalışmıştır. Dilde aykırı olanı seçmesine paralel bir şekilde, karakter figürasyonunda da modernist donemin tüm çıkmazını ve kaygılarını en iyi yansıtacağını düşündüğü anti-kahraman yaratmayı tercih etmiştir. Bu bolümde Celine' in donemin ruhunu en iyi yansıtacağını düşündüğü karakter figürasyonu olan anti-kahramanın milliyetçi soylemleri reddi ve kayıtsız bir karaktere dünüşme serüveni incelenmiştir. Bunun neticesinde, anti-kahraman Bardamu'nun çevresindeki şiddete ve çürümüşlüğe kayıtsız kalmasının, kötülüğü içselleştirmesine ve banal olarak algılamasına sebep olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Kayıtsızlığa dogru evrilen olumsuz degişimin, çürümüş bir toplumda anti-kahramanı hayatta tutmak için yazar Celine tarafından bulunmuş bir yöntem olduğu iddia edilmektedir. Çalışmanın ikinci bolümünde, Bardamu'mn kotiicül yanını temsil eden doppelganger'i Robinson'un rolü tartışılmaktadır. Robinson'un hikayeye katkısı incelenirken; rolünü daha iyi analiz etmek için romandaki en baskın iki tema olan ölüm ve kadın konusu ele alınmıştır. Bu tartışmayla, Robinson karakterinin Bardamu'nun romanda alacağı yolu tayin etmesi için kurgulanmış bir karakter olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Onun sayesinde, anti-kahramanımız Bardamu yazar Celine tarafından kötücül olanın yetki alanında değerlendirilen ölüm ve kadın olgusuna teslim edilmemektedir. Antikahraman Bardamu yerine, doppelganger Robinson kadınlarla yakın ilişki kurup, bunun neticesinde gecenin en karanhk noktasmda ölüme teslim edilmektedir. Bu sayede yazar Celine ve onun ikincil benliğini temsil eden anti-kahraman Bardamu'nun, tüm yolculuğa tanıklık ederek gecenin sonunda hayatta kalmayı başardıkları sonucuna ulaşabiliriz.
In this study, Journey to the End of the Night (1932), which was written by Louis-Ferdinand Celine, is examined in order to discuss the predicament of the antihero in the modernist period and Celine's solution through the figuration of the doppelganger to save his anti-hero from the ferocity of life. This study consists oftwo main chapters. In the first chapter, an analysis of Celine's anti-hero is put forward by starting from C61ine's special emphasis on the use oflanguage which he aims to exceed the boundaries of formal French language in order to integrate the language of the streets in the novel. In addition to his subtle style, his choice of the anti-hero as the best means to render the anxieties of the society is analyzed in order to underline anti- traits ofBardamu by focusing on his dispossession of the nationalistic values and his quiescent character. As result of this analysis, it is inferred that his dispossession ofthe norms of the society led him to internalize the violence and evil deeds during his journey. This internalization also functions as one of the ways to save the anti-hero in the decayed society. In the second chapter, the function ofthe doppelganger, Robinson, is discussed who represents the evil aspect of Bardamu's character. While analyzing the doppelganger's contribution to the novel, the themes of death and women which penneate the whole narration are investigated in order to point out Robinson's function more clearly. At last, it is concluded that Robinson as a doppelganger in the novel functions to designate the trajectory of Bardamu in the novel. Because of him, the anti-hero Bardamu is not submitted to women and death which are regarded to belong to the realm of evil by the writer C6line. Instead of him, Robinson is confined in the evil realm oflife by having intimate relationship with women and is killed in the very dark moment of the night. Thus, it is be inferred that the writer Celine and his alter-ego Bardarnu achieves to preserve their entity thanks to the doppelganger throughout the whole journey by making him witness all evil deeds of the society.
