Psychoanalytic Analysis of the Father in the Novel of the ’’Barbarian Weddings’’ By Yann Queffelec
Journal Title: Yaşam Becerileri Psikoloji Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
According to the Turkish Civil Code; the biological meaning of the father's word is that a man takes a child's role in the world by giving sperm to a woman. The role of fatherhood starts actively with the birth of the baby. Beginning from the first years of life, both babies with both sexes start to learn attitudes, interests and behaviors that are appropriate for their parents. This marathon, which started with toys and clothes compatible with the sex in the first place, continues with the adoption of the same sex parent as a model. The baby, beginning to respond after a certain period of time, begins to imitate both gender models and embraces gender-appropriate activities. At the beginning of the process, the gender roles of women and men begin to become evident by adding to the differences in socialization over the genetic differences brought about by the baby's existence. The existence of a father in which the baby can take part in this period has positive contributions to the healthy progress of the baby's growth process (Kuzucu, 2011). The story of Yann Queffelec's Nicole, who was raped by the man she loves in the novel "Barbarian Weddings", and the story of a boy named Ludovic, who has been faced with mother hatred from the moment he opened his eyes to the world as a result of rape. It is reflected in the life of a male child who has tried everything in order to get back to his mother without giving up for a moment. Rape is common in the society and is explained by the sexual and physical abuse of women by men. The struggle to identify Ludovic with the father who has never existed as an unwanted baby will be considered psychoanalytic.
