JOHN MAXWELL COETZEE’NİN İSA ÜÇLEMESİNDE MÜLTECİLİK VE TRAVMA
REFUGEE AND TRAUMA IN JOHN MAXWELL COETZEE'S JESUS TRILOGY

Summary/Abstract: Besides being a trauma in itself, being a refugee is an almost impossible situation for the refugee to overcome since it is a difficult experience and there is no way to return. According to Salman Akhtar, who likens the departure of the refugee from the homeland to the departure of the baby from the mother's womb, “exile” is linguistically equivalent to a refugee. For an adult, the experience of being a refugee is influenced by the comfort or difficulty of his previous life; If he had to leave a life with a high level of prosperity, becoming a refugee will be very difficult, and if the harsh experience of camp life is added to this, depression and premature aging will be inevitable. If he has been through a more difficult life and the welfare of the country of asylum is higher, this may also be a chance for a new life. But there is a group among refugees for whom the variable is not welfare or poverty; the most important deficiency for them is the lack of parents: this group is children. In this study, the story of an orphan child who has been exposed to traumas caused by wars and has to become a refugee will be examined and the difficult consequences of the trauma of being a refugee that he had to deal with also will be focused on.
