Abstract

In his short story ‘The House of Asterion’, originally published in 1947, Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges turns the protagonist of the Theseus myth from Theseus to the minotaur, Asterion. Borges, herein, proses labyrinthine design of reality. The house of Asterion denotes a psychic space of memory (mnemotechnic sphere of ambiguity, mourning, despair, hope and melancholia) the doors of which are being unlocked/locked to the experience of the metaphysics of presence (spatiotemporal equation of the labyrinthine characteristic of the house with the ‘world’). In this plot, Borges proses minotaur’s relief from the existential pain of the labyrinth/world by the succour of his ‘redeemer’ (Theseus). The experience of the world, for Asterion, connotes not only an epochal re-treat from markers of exactitude, but also the unconcealment of undecidability. By going through Bataille and Derrida, this paper interprets the aporetic context of the in-between via central tenants of Borges’ mythopoetic.

Özet

1947 yılında yayınlanan ‘Asterion’un Hanesi’ isimli kısa hikayesinde, Arjantinli yazar Jorge Luis Borges, Theseus efsanesinin kahramanını Theseus’tan minotaura, yani Asterion’a çevirir. Burada Borges, gerçekliğin labirente benzer vasfını kaleme alır. Asterion’un hanesi; kapıları, mevcudiyet metafiziğinin tecrübe edilişine (hanenin labirente benzer vasfının ‘dünya’nın tecrübesi ile mekânzamansal olarak özdeşleştirilmesine) açılan/kapanan, psişik bir hafıza mekanı (tuhaflığın, yasın, umutsuzluğunun, umudun ve melankolinin mnemoteknik alanı) olarak karşımıza çıkar. Bu hikayede Borges; minotaurun, labirentin/dünyanın verdiği varoluşsal ıstıraptan cezalandırıcısı (Theseus) eliyle kurtuluşunu işler. Asterion için dünyanın tecrübesi, yalnızca, kesinlik işaretlerinden epokhal bir geri çekilmeyi değil; aynı zamanda, karar verilemezliğin açığa serilmesini de ifade eder. Bataille ve Derrida’dan hareketle, bu çalışma, arası(nda)lığın aporetik bağlamını, Borges mitopoetiğinin öne çıkan belirleyicileri itibariyle değerlendirmektedir.
