@article{2018,title={THE FIGURATIVE EXPRESSIONS OF THE OPPRESSED IN THE MARCH 12 NOVELS},abstractNode={The March 12 novels describes the effects of March 12 military intervention on the individual and society at the center of petit bourgeois protagonists who defended revolutionary thought. This effect manifested itself in particular as a defeat psychology on the leftist circles and became traumatic by combining with other personal crises of the petit bourgeois individuals. Altough protagonists of the March 12 novels are often revolutionary intellectuals their petit bourgeois identity is more decisive in the novels. The inner conflicts and crises they experienced after the defeat rather than the actions of protagonists in the revolutionary struggle are prominent. The self-questioning of revoloutionary petit bourgeois individuals, focuses on weakness and helplessness of the individual in the life and society in a broader framework; in a narrower framework, it concentrates on the defeat of revolutionary movement after the March 12 military intervention against the state and security forces. In both cases it can be said that, the weakness and helplessness they experienced caused feeling of loneliness and worthlessness. The fact that the revolutionary petit bourgeois individual who felt himself alone and helpless in the face of life, tried to be isolated and even destroyed by being seen as dangerous and harmful by the state representing the father figure and by a large part of people, reinforced the feeling of loneliness and worhlessness in them. These feelings of loneliness and worthlessness especially of the humiliations the protagonist subjected to, were narrated in various tropes in the novels. This work will focus on the tropes that enable to reveal psychology of the protagonists more effectively and strikingly.},author={Musa TOPKAYA},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
