Abstract

This article examines the Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtaş’s prison novel Leylan (2019) in relation to the Turkish tradition of Künstlerroman, which dates back to the late nineteenth century. Through a reading of the figure of the writer manqué, it argues that Demirtaş occupies an unprecedented place in having staged the writer manqué as a subaltern autodidact rather than as a troubled intellectual, in uniting the political and the transcendental, and in affirming the potential hidden in incomplete texts and lives.

来自囹圄的蜕变：塞拉哈廷-德米尔塔什的《莱兰河

本文将库尔德政治家塞拉哈廷-德米尔塔什（Selahattin Demirtaş）的监狱小说《Leylan》（2019年）与土耳其的 "Künstlerroman "传统（可追溯至19世纪末）联系起来进行研究。通过对 "男作家 "这一形象的解读，该书认为德米尔塔什将 "男作家 "塑造成了一个亚文化的自学者，而不是一个陷入困境的知识分子，他将政治性和超验性结合在一起，并肯定了隐藏在不完整的文本和生活中的潜力，从而占据了前所未有的地位。
