Abstract:

In literature there are always different remarks about the concept of time. But with modernism, bringing fore the inner reality by putting the individual in the center of the text brought a new perspective to the matter of time. This situation, with the appearence of stream of consciousness and inner monologue, not just helped transfering psychological state but also telling of time and event. At this era, Henri Bergson’s, one of the twentieth century philosophers, comments on concept of time and conciousness gained enough importance to change content and technical structure of the modern novel. In this context Huzur carries traces of Berhson’s philosophy. In this study, by making a frame out of the foundational dynamics of Bergson’s philosophy and the novel Huzur is examined on its time and spatial time, temporal interpenetration, stream of states of consciousness and relation between time and inner monologue.
