Text of Note

This dissertation, a study of Jakob Arjouni's Kayankaya series (1985-2012), focusses on the significance of the detective as an outsider and the extent to which Kemal Kayankaya, Arjouni's protagonist, fits into that role. While focusing on how Kayankaya does or does not belong, the study relates the detective's opposing desires for order (e.g., crime solving, domestic stability) and chaos (e.g., violence, drunkenness, sexual titillation) to Nietzsche's theory of the Apollonian and Dionysian. In doing this, the dissertation reveals some of Arjouni's strategies for isolating his detective while also making Kayankaya appear stereotypically German. Chapter One introduces the series and establishes the genre conventions of hard-boiled detection. Several scholars refer to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe in their analyses of Arjouni. The works in which these detectives appear serve as a backdrop for the study on Kayankaya.
