Abstract

With a Foucauldian approach and on the basis of two novels on Ankara, this work investigates the relationship between power and space. Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu’s Ankara and Sevgi Soysal’s Yenişehir’de Bir Öğle Vakti (“A Noon Time in Yenisehir”). Through an analysis of these novels from a Foucauldian point of view, this chapter investigates the city of Ankara as a space. The main reason for why Ankara was chosen in this work is that the manifestation of power in space can be seen more clearly in a city like Ankara which transformed from a town into a capital a relatively short time ago.
