Özet
The Turkish novelist Namık Kemal’s Intibah indicates how a character struggles againstmisrepresentation. In the novel, Ali Bey, a 22-year old educated boy, meets a very beautiful woman,whose name is Mehpeykey, as he walks in Çamlıca, and he falls in love with her. The narrator saysthat Mehpeyker does not have a virtuous background and he does his utmost to make the addresseehate her and believe that she is not a suitable partner for Ali Bey. However, the reader interestinglysympathizes with her throughout the novel because with her speech and actions Mehpeyker representsherself differently from what the narrator says about her. The present article studies the relationshipand struggle between the narrator’s and Mehpeyker’s discourses based on the theory of the Russiancritic Mikhail Bakhtin. Since in Intibah the narrator’s discourse appears as patriarchal discourse andanother’s word as femininity which struggles against misrepresentation by patriarchy, a feministreading of Bakhtin is also employed in the analysis of the novel. In Intibah Mehpeyker represents thevoice of the other that disseminates the male authority of the narrator.
