Abstract
Bu çalışma, Britanyalı yazar Alan Sillitoe'nin varoluşçuluk hakkındaki fikirlerini araştırmaktadır ve İngiliz nesne ilişkileri kuramı çerçevesinde Sillitoe’nin kayıp kavramına yaklaşımına odaklanmaktadır. Sillitoe’nin ana karakteri resmedişini, bu karakterin kayıp ve yas ile başa çıkma mekanizmalarını ve bireysel kimliğinde yaşadığı değişimleri analiz etmektedir. Bu çalışma, Sillitoe’nin "Balıkçı Teknesi Resmi" adlı hikayesine odaklanarak, kayıp, yas ve kişisel dönüşüm arasındaki bağlantıyı keşfetme fırsatı sunmaktadır. Bu makale, eşinin ölümüyle yüzleşmesi sonrasında kendini keşfeden yaşlı bir kahraman ile, kaybın kişinin kimliğinin bozulması ve yeniden inşası üzerindeki etkisini anlamak için bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, kayıp ve yas kavramlarının bireyin kendini algılamasını nasıl şekillendirebileceğini vurgulayarak, bu tür deneyimlerin derin bir dönüşüme yol açabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırma, kayıplarla ve yasla nasıl başa çıktığımızı ve kimliklerimizi nasıl dönüştürdüğümüzü anlama konusuna katkıda bulunmaktadır.

Abstract
This study explores the ideas presented by British writer Alan Sillitoe concerning existentialism, focusing on his unique perspective on the theme of loss through the lens of the British object relations theory. Sillitoe’s literary portrayal of the protagonist and his coping mechanisms for grief and loss offer a distinctive perspective to analyze shifts in individual identity. Our focus centres on Sillitoe’s story titled "The Fishing Boat Picture," which allows us to explore the connection between loss, grief, and personal transformation. Through the protagonist—an elderly man who comes to terms with his wife’s passing and discovers a sense of self—this paper presents a framework for comprehending how loss impacts the disruption and rebuilding of one’s identity. Moreover, it sheds light on how psychological experiences of loss can shape individuals’ perception of themselves by emphasizing how moments of loss and grief can lead to profound growth by serving as experiences. Ultimately, this research contributes to a comprehension of the psyche and how we navigate through losses and grief while constructing our identities.
