Abstract

Decadence is a term that defines a sense of life. In addition to its aesthetic significance, it is used to clarify the social, political, moral, and cultural decline. On the other hand there is no precise definition of decadence. Therefore, the formulation of decadence is difficult and unclear. As a result, it asks us to define the description of decadence and its justification in the selected work. The aim of this work is to contribute to the direction of literature, based upon literary discourses within the framework of the novel by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu Ankara, so that the ambivalent meanings of decadence become clearer. Since decadence and dilettantism are closely connected, this work makes decadence and its associated concept of dilettantism the object of consideration. In order to reflect this, the decadent discourses are scrutinized. In the meantime, the concept of discourse analysis is based on the ideas of Nietzsche and Bourget.
