A PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE LIBIDINAL INFLUENCE OF LOVE IN REPUBLICAN ERA TURKISH POETRY

The effort to interpret love from the perspective of psychoanalysis deepens especially with Lacan’s ideas shaped around the concept of ‘the other’. All demands are considered a request for the desire to be loved by the “other”, at their core, in the psychoanalytic school developed by Lacan and initiated by Freud. In the psychoanalytic school developed by Lacan and initiated by Freud, it is accepted that all requests are essentially a demand for the desire to be loved by the “other”. Lacan emphasizes the desire that lies behind the demand directed at the “other.” This desire involves being recognized, seen, and united with the “other,” and thus achieving a sense of wholeness, which includes intertwining and dissolving into one another. In this context, love emerges not only as an individual emotion but also as a phenomenon intertwined with social and cultural codes. Therefore, to concentrate on the mentioned aspect of love, it is essential to address the points within the scope of the sexuality of love. Particularly in the Republic Period Turkish Poetry, deciphering the codes of love related to sexuality, in the works of poets reveals not only the desires of the individuals but also the unconscious discourses of the era. Expressions of love in poetry sometimes reflect the fractures and conflicts within the poet’s internal world or they provide clues about the transformation of social structure through the relationship established with the “other.” In this study, the dimension of sexuality in love is emphasized and the reflections of poets’ “unconscious” through examples taken from the Republican Era Turkish Poetry are examined.
