Özet:

 Buket Uzuners novel The Adventures of Misfit Defne Kaman -Water contains rich data that can be analyzed in terms of cultural diversity and marginalization in the light of folkloric and mythological discourses. In addition, in the study, an examination was made based on the magical realism narrative style, which originates from Novalis, one of the Romantic period writers of German literature, within the framework of the authors extraordinary narrative style. It was determined that the traces of the magical realist narrative style were based on Shamanism and myths, and it was seen that realistic elements perceived as fantastic and strange were consciously placed in the novel in the context of dreams and mythological references. The authors novels, which bear the title The Adventures of Misfit Defne Kaman and are a nature quadrilogy, draw attention to ecological awareness and bring environmental problems back to the agenda. In the novel, the author emphasizes the importance of the Water element in Shamanism, one of the ancient Turkish traditions where nature and life are sanctified, and the work Kutadgu Bilig in terms of Turkish history and culture by arguing that all living things are of equal value. Among the topics covered in the novel in terms of reflecting cultural differences, the cultural diversity offered by various worldviews such as the Shaman belief as well as sectarian differences are emphasized. In this context, the love between the young Alevi Ümit and the young Sunni girl Tasvir is one of the striking examples discussed in the work. The work also addresses the psychological, spiritual, and physical problems caused by intrafamily traumas transmitted from the experiences of past generations, family constellation, and the resulting unity of origin and family destiny in terms of the Shaman belief. In the study, an analysis focused on text analysis and interpretation was carried out in terms of examining the samples and quotations.

 Bu çalışmada, büyülü gerçekçilik ekseninde kültürel çeşitlilik ve ötekileştirme söylemleri analiz edilmiştir. Buket Uzunerin Su-Uyumsuz Defne Kamanın Maceraları adlı romanı folklorik ve mitolojik söylemler ışığında kültürel çeşitlilik ve ötekileştirme açsından incelenebilecek zengin veriler içermektedir. Ayrıca çalışmada, yazarın farklı anlatım tarzı çerçevesinde, kökeni Alman edebiyatının Romantik dönem yazarlarından Novalise dayanan büyülü gerçekçilik anlatım biçimine dayalı bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Büyülü gerçekçi anlatım tarzının izlerinin Şamanlığa ve mitlere dayandığı tespit edilerek fantastik ve tuhaf olarak algılanan gerçekçi öğelerin rüyalar ve mitolojik göndermeler bağlamında romana bilinçli olarak yerleştirilmiş olduğu görülmüştür. Yazarın, Uyumsuz Defne Kamanın Maceraları adını taşıyan ve bir tabiat dörtlemesi niteliğinde olan romanları, ekolojik farkındalığa dikkat çekerek, çevre sorunlarını yeniden gündeme getirmektedir. Yazar, romanda tüm canlıların eşit değerde olduğunu ileri sürerek doğanın ve yaşamın kutsandığı kadim Türk geleneklerinden Şamanlıkta Su öğesinin ve Kutadgu Bilig eserinin Türk tarihi ve kültürü açısından önemini vurgulamaktadır. Romanda kültürel farklılıkları yansıtma açısından işlenen konular arasında Şaman inancı gibi çeşitli dünya görüşlerinin sunduğu kültürel çeşitliliğin yanı sıra mezhep farklılıkları üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda eserde Alevi genç Ümit ile Sünni genç kız Tasvirin aşkı da ele alınan özgün örneklerden biridir. Eser, geçmiş kuşakların deneyimlerinden aktarılan aile içi travmaların yol açtığı psikolojik, ruhsal ve fiziksel sorunların, aile dizimi ve bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan köken ve aile kaderi birlikteliğinin Şaman inancıyla ilişkisi açısından da ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada, örnek ve alıntıların incelenmesi noktasında metin çözümleme ve yorumlama odaklı bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir.
