Abstract











1890
yılında Lippincott dergisinde yayımlanan Arthur Conan Doyle'un ünlü eseri The
Sing of Four (Dörtlerin İşareti), yazarın hikayeleri arasında en çok övgü alan
eserlerinden biri olduğunu kanıtlamıştır. On dokuzuncu yüzyılın son on yılında,
romans ve macera romanlarının aksine, Doyle dünyaca ünlü karakteri Sherlock
Holmes’un maceraları için, en sevdiği yer olan Londra’yı mekan olarak tercih
etmiştir. Bu hikayede, Doyle'un emperyalist bakış açısı, farklı erkeklik
temsillerinin zengin bir tasviri ile kurulu düzen ve erkek otoritesinin yeniden
kurulması ile, erkek okuyucu algısının güvencesi olmuştur. Bu makale, bu
yönüyle, Dörtlerin İşareti’nin kahramanı Sherlock Holmes’inde dahil olduğu
farklı karakterlerle temsil edilen bir erkek dünyası sunmaktadır ve bu temsillerin
ne ölçüde bir meydan okuma olduğunu ve ayrica dönemin macera hikayelerinin
sundukları erkek rolüne dair ortak bir söylemin ne ölçüde benimsediğini
göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.
