Özet: Jacques Rancière, in his book The Edges of Fiction (2017), evaluates the handling of doors and windows in fictional texts from different perspectives. Ranciére finds that the poor were more visible in literature after the French Revolution by translating doors and windows in the context of the transition between the bourgeoisie and classes, and that this was used in fiction through different expression techniques developed through doors and windows. Doors and windows have a special meaning in Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil, who mostly describes indoor spaces in his works in 19th century Turkish literature. Ferdi ve Şürekası (1895), written by Uşaklıgil before he came to Istanbul, is also essential in this respect. The novel Ferdi ve Şürekası (1895), written by Uşaklıgil before he came to Istanbul, is also essential in this respect. In Ferdi and Şürekası, doors play an important role both in the plot and in the roles of the characters in the plot. Within the scope of this article, we will try to show how the doors change the fiction of the novel in question, what value these changes have in the struggle between the classes, and the meaning of the doors that become transparent in expressing the feelings of the characters. Although the focal point of the article is doors, different spatial elements such as windows will also be mentioned, and it will be shown how this situation has become typical in Uşaklıgil novels together with Ferdi and Şürekası.
