Abstract

İngiliz yazar A.S. Byatt’ın Frederica serisinin son romanı olan A Whistling Woman sadece yaklaşık yirmi yıla yayılan bir hikâyeyi nihayete erdirmekle kalmaz, aynı zamanda sosyolojik değişimlerin yaşandığı 60’lı yıllar fonunda bilim ve din, beden ve zihin, görsel ve sözel gibi temel karşıtlıklara ayna tutar. Romanın odak noktası North Yorkshire Üniversitesi’nde düzenlenen, Beden ve Zihin temalı konferans, bedeni kadınla, erkeği ise zihinle ilişkilendirme ikilemini işaret ederken bütün seri boyunca dikkat çekilen evlilik ve anneliğin kadına getirdiği kısıtlamalar ve entelektüel, özgür bir birey olma sorunsalını tekrar gündeme getirir. Byatt bir yanda, hikâyenin ana karakteri olan Frederica üzerinden kadınların geleceğini belirleyecek bu eğilimleri ifşa ederken, anlatı ağını genişleterek öğrenciler, akademisyenler, bilim adamları, anarşistler ve dini topluluk üyelerini merkeze alan bilimsel ve dinsel söylemlerle 60’ların sosyal ve kültürel havasını gözler önüne serer. Dönemin bilimsel yenilikleri, görsel kültürü ve televizyonun ortaya çıkışına uygun olarak, romana entegre edilen görsel temsiller, ekfrastik olarak betimlenen sanat yapıtları, Byatt’ın bilim ve sanata olan düşkünlüğünü yansıtırken, önemli anlar, fikirler ve figürlere farklı bir bakış açısı getirerek iç içe geçmiş hikayeleri aydınlatan temel anlatı araçlarına dönüşmüş olurlar.
