| description | In this study, the sociological facts in Ödön von Horváth’s “Allahsız Gençlik”
(Jugend ohne Gott), Jerzy Kosinski’s “The Painted Bird” and Engin Aktel’s “Son
Eylül Elveda Antigoni” are analyzed through sociological criticism and sociologist
Zygmunt Bauman’s critique of modernity and “garden culture” which is a term of
his sociology.
As the texts are constituted on the basis of sociological facts, sociological approach
is used in the analysis of these texts. Also, one of the most important sociologist
of the 20th century Zygmunt Bauman’s critique of modernity and the term of
“stranger” are defined as the main themes of this study.
In the study, sociological events of the 20th century and the reflections of the process
of becoming a nation-state that co-occur with modernity on society are analyzed.
Besides, the relationship between “we” and “the other” and the approaches of
society to “the stranger” are examined in the study.
Firstly, the concept of ‘modernity’ will be explained. Then, Zygmunt Bauman’s
understanding of modernity and his critique of modernity will be detailed and the
texts will be analyzed through Zygmunt Bauman’s critique of modernity by means
of sociological criticism and Variation Theory.
In the conclusion, the findings of the comparison and the contributions of the study
for future research are identified |
