Özet:

 Surrealism, which emerged during the final phase of World War I and took form within the context of French literature, stands as one of the most influential art movements of the 20th century, grounded in the conceptual framework of representing the unconscious mind through artistic expression. This movement gained widespread influence in Western literature, particularly by shaping various literary traditions across Europe and contributing to the development of new artistic and intellectual perspectives. The aim of this study is to examine the development of the Surrealist movement in Modern Greek Literature, whose theoretical framework was established by Andreas Embeirikos in Greece. His poetry collection İpsikaminos, in which Embeirikos systematically and deliberately introduced the surrealist aesthetic into Greek literary production for the first time, has been analyzed in terms of surrealist techniques, stream of consciousness, and the experimental use of language. It is observed that the poet employs the automatic writing technique, deliberately disrupts conventional meaning relationships, and guides the reader toward an intuitive perception process. Influenced by Sigmund Freuds theory of psychoanalysis, Embeirikos is noted for incorporating subconscious associations into his work, simultaneously emphasizing both individual and collective freedom through artistic expression. In this respect, İpsikaminos is regarded as a significant example not only within the realm of Modern Greek Literature but also within the broader framework of European modernism, as it demonstrates how surrealism was transformed and reinterpreted within a local context.

 20. yüzyılın en etkili sanat akımlarından biri olarak Birinci Dünya Savaşının son döneminde ortaya çıkan ve Fransız edebiyatında şekillenen sürrealizm, bilinçaltının sanatsal bir ifadeyle yansıtılması anlayışına dayanmaktadır. Bu akım, Batı edebiyatında geniş bir etki alanı bulmuş, özellikle Avrupadaki farklı edebi geleneklere yön vererek yeni sanatsal ve düşünsel perspektiflerin gelişimine katkı sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, teorik çerçevesi Yunanistanda Andreas Embeirikos tarafından şekillendirilen sürrealizm gerçeküstücülük akımının, Çağdaş Yunan edebiyatındaki gelişimini incelemektir. Embeirikosun, Yunanistanda sürrealist estetik anlayışını ilk kez sistemli ve bilinçli biçimde edebi üretime yansıttığı eseri olan İpsikaminos adlı şiir derlemesi, sürrealist teknikler, bilinç akışı ve dilin deneysel kullanımı açısından ele alınmıştır. Şairin bu eserde otomatik yazı tekniğine başvurduğu, alışılmış anlam ilişkilerini bilinçli olarak kırdığı ve okuru sezgisel bir algı sürecine yönlendirdiği gözlemlenmektedir. Aynı zamanda, Sigmund Freudun psikanaliz kuramının etkisiyle bilinçaltı çağrışımlarına yer veren Embeirikosun bireysel ve toplumsal özgürlük temasını sanat yoluyla vurguladığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda İpsikaminos, yalnızca Çağdaş Yunan edebiyatında değil, aynı zamanda Avrupa modernizmi içinde de özgün bir yer edinmiş bir eser olup, sürrealizmin yerel bağlamda nasıl dönüştüğünü ve yeniden üretildiğini gösteren önemli bir örnek olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
