Abstract
This thesis which based its main approach on revealing the theoretical lines in
Fethi Naci’s critics are shaped by a question that may be reckoned very simple. Did
Fethi Naci (1927-2008), who is regarded as one of the most standing critics of the
Turkish literature, display any theoretical approach in his practice of criticism? This
thesis that tries to answer the mentioned question with alayzing Fethi Naci’s
understaing of criticism, at same time aims to point out the theoretical bases of
Marxist Literary Criticsm, which atributted to his approach. Because of that, this
study that builds its theoretical framework on “Marxist aesthetic” and “Marxist
literary criticsm” aims to define Fethi Naci’s critical methods through the same
perspective. In this respect, the thesis initaially abridges the Marxist understaing of
aestetic, art and literture via the basic assertions of Marxist theoreticians. Then, it
tries to analyze Fethi Naci’s critiques to underline the similarities of both approaches.
This thesis that also makes a critical assessment of few works done so far on
Fethi Naci proposes that these works could not clearly define Fethi Naci’s
conception of criticism; therefore their results are very different and even
contradicting each other. Moreover this thesis that points out that the main mistake in
these analyises resulted by their “descriptive approach”, to a great extent clarifies the
the approaches on the critic, which are “chaotic” in nature, with handling Fethi
Naci’s conception of criticism through a holistic and analytical perspective.
Finally, the study, with defining his practice of criticism based on
approaching Marxist literary criticism of the problems of “realism in literature, style
and format” and in the same framework by “the relation of literature with social,
economic and political events”, concludes that there is a similarity between Fethi
Naci’s theoretical approach was shaped by Marxist literary criticism.
