dc.description.abstractThis study examines Turkan Yesilyurt's poetry collection Fahri through feminist literary theory, focusing on the concept of the flaneuse. Traditionally defined as a male observer of the city, the flaneur has been reconceptualized by feminist scholars to include the flaneuse, representing women's embodied experiences in urban space. In Fahri, the female subject is interpreted as a poetic flaneuse who reclaims visibility through bodily and mnemonic presence in the city. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study explores how space, memory, and the female body interact in the poems. The analysis draws on Judith Butler's theory of gender performativity, Walter Benjamin's writings on the flaneur, and Gaston Bachelard's poetics of space. Rather than portraying the city as neutral backdrop, Yesilyurt renders it a layered memory site marked by trauma, longing, and gendered social dynamics. The flaneuse emerges not only as an observer, but as an agent who transforms space through poetic language and challenges patriarchal boundaries. Through affective and spatial circulation, the poems construct a feminist poetics of resistance. In doing so, the article contributes to feminist urban poetics in contemporary Turkish literature by foregrounding the co-production of gendered mobility, spatial memory, and digital mediation.
